Wotjek Alexander. General Tomoyuki Yamashita used tunnels to hide from Allied Forces and it was his HQ. Fact: The Nuragic people started around 1900 bc. to build more than 10000 fortifications with tunnel systems on their Island. Time: 1900bc- 200ac Island: Sardinna Img:  |

England lost only 2 of their last 30 games at Wembley. One, was against Denmark, who they will be playing in the semi-finals, and the other is Spain, who will be playing Italy.

Supercomputer (top 500):
Significant progress was made in the first decade of the 21st century. [...] In 2004 2002, the Earth Simulator supercomputer built by NEC at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) reached 35.9 teraflops, using 640 nodes, each with eight proprietary vector processors.
2014, the Earth Simulator had dropped off the list and by comparison, as of 2020, a single NVidia RTX 3090 graphics card can deliver comparable performance at 35 TFLOPS per card.

Oh, which leads me to add...
The number of transistors on a microchip doubles every two years, though the cost of computers is halved. (The Moore's law)
Which basically says that every 2 years, the computation power of computers doubles every 2 years and cost is halved. Though that may not hold true in the coming future as it will then become increasingly difficult as more and more transistors are being put.

Ah...memories. I still remember my mother's words, when she said that 10 years back, the time it took for them to download a movie (In my language, 2.5 - 3hours movies are more common than the typical 2hrs English movies), it took them a whole month's time.
And the first time Wi-Fi came to our house, it's speed was 512KB. What a speed!

For ages the highspeed was 1200 Baud, more common were 300 Baud (240 Bit! /s) acustic-devices. (80 Bytes, one line of ascii-text, /sec) BBS took time.
With compression later 1200/2400 Baud modems could transmit up to 2kByte/sec. Transmitting a movie Movie takes ... -maybe we have already 80% ? 512 kByte/s are already lighning fast DSL-speed.

Oh, which leads me to add... 8 The number of transistors on a microchip doubles every two years, though the cost of computers is halved. (The Moore's law) Which basically says that every 2 years, the computation power of computers doubles every 2 years and cost is halved. Though that may not hold true in the coming future as it will then become increasingly difficult as more and more transistors are being put. Another excellent posting from you John Marston, thank you, I could adjust my knowledge (I was wrong with 18 months) Your Napoleon-Green link is so good too - I was still searching ....Which basically says that every 2 years, the computation power of computers doubles every 2 years and cost is halved. Just one time. This was a postulation in 1975 for the next decade (1976-1985). And it (roughly) still works!!! We are today already far far beyond the point, that was immaginable half a century ago, just for pyhsical limitations (IE: nm process = impossible). Just as info (2021-1975)/2=23: 2Β²Β³ β 8.4M, so a computer today, can do the same like 8 million computers in 1975 (in the same time) PS, facts: Moore is one of the founders of Intel, an external workbench for HP at this time. (and National Semicnductors ? ) |

The lyrebird can mimic almost any sounds it hears β including chainsaws.
Wildlife watchers have recorded the Australian species copying not only other birds but other animals, like koalas, and artificial sounds such as car alarms and camera shutters.
