Upgrading through every version of windows (1.0 – 7.0)

Sun, 06 Mar 2011 22:26:00 -0800

“One man has captured every install of Windows from 1.0 through to 7 and shared it with the world via YouTube. The video details install processes and the UI for each version of Windows over the past 25 years and most importantly the upgrade process. The only exception is Windows ME, missing as you can only upgrade to ME or 2000 and not both. The video creator, Andrew Tait, used VMWare to install each version and started by installing MS-DOS 5.0 to prepare for the Windows 1.0 installation. Monkey Island and Doom 2 are both installed to test upgrade compatibility throughout the years” (WinRumors).

A New Kind of Science – Stephen Wolfram

Sat, 17 Jul 2010 06:02:00 -0700

“Back in 1981, I had the idea that, perhaps, just as I’d been able to find primitives for computations people want to do, I might somehow also be able to find primitives for what nature does. The crucial thing that I realized is that those primitives don’t have to be based only on traditional mathematical constructs. I mean, if one’s going to be able to do theoretical science, one has to assume that nature follows some kind of definite rules. But why do those rules involve only the kinds of constructs that have been invented in human mathematics? Can’t the rules be somehow more general? Perhaps the kinds of rules that can be embodied in programs might actually be what nature is using.” — Stephen Wolfram
