I'm an undergraduate in computer science at Carnegie Mellon, with a fiancée named Ellen and a cat named Millie.
Apollo 11 and Other Screw-Ups
For the lunar missions, 36K words of “fixed” (read-only) memory, each word consisting of 15 bits plus a parity bit, were available for the program. In addition there were 2K words of artfully timeshared “erasable” or RAM memory. Allowing for the identical Apollo guidance computer (AGC) in the Command Module (CM), containing a program called COLOSSUS, it is correct to say that we landed on the moon with 152 Kbytes of onboard computer memory.

Need to set an alarm that goes off every Friday around noon and says, “DO NOT GET THE GENERAL TSO’S CHICKEN; YOU WILL REGRET IT.”
Way psyched that @ellen_s won a shirt off of a Penguin’s back after the game! http://twitpic.com/32tbk
