In The Beginning...

The history of computers starts out about 2000 years ago, at the birth of the abacus, a wooden rack holding two horizontal wires with beads strung on them. When these beads are moved around, according to programming rules memorized by the user, all regular arithmetic problems can be done. Another important invention around the same time was the Astrolabe, used for navigation.

Blaise Pascal is usually credited for building the first digital computer in 1642. It added numbers entered with dials and was made to help his father, a tax collector. In 1671, Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz invented a computer that was built in 1694. It could add, and, after changing some things around, multiply. Leibniz invented a special stepped gear mechanism for introducing the addend digits, and this is still being used.

The prototypes made by Pascal and Leibniz were not used in many places, and considered weird until a little more than a century later, when Thomas of Colmar (A.K.A. Charles Xavier Thomas) created the first successful mechanical calculator that could add, subtract, multiply, and divide. A lot of improved desktop calculators by many inventors followed, so that by about 1890, the range of improvements included:



* Accumulation of partial results
* Storage and automatic reentry of past results (A memory function)
* Printing of the results

Each of these required manual installation. These improvements were mainly made for commercial users, and not for the needs of science.

He was an agent from Fox Hound who fought with Snake in MG2. He was defeated then and returned as the ninja in MGS.

Am I right?

laugh.gif well, most of the time I made up the names of the characters...so I never even bothered to know the real names..lol
so it was a little tough for me
BurnSide
I used to do that when i first started with FF. But i couldn't think of any names to replace in FF8 so left them all as normal, except the main character is always my name. With the later games (FFX for example) you can only change the main characters name anyway.
Janiel
that reminds me tongue.gif

i made the silly mistake of naming squall after me, and Rinoa after my girlfriend at that time tongue.gif
now i get all depressed when i use that file....
pfft
BurnSide
I did that for FF7. laugh.gif
When i brought FF7, i had actually just moved to a new country, canada, from england. I was around your age. I named all the characters the names of my old friends from england. Needless to say, it started to cause me alot of pain and eventually i had to start again and play through without any name changing.

The characters still remind me of them sometimes. Bah.
HolyDevil2053
hahaha...used to do that too...

I knew a couple dorks that used swears for names- they got in trouble with their parents when they saw it on the tv screen and made them delete it and start over...I think they were on disc 3 by the time they noticed. lol
