This is on-topic, I swear, as I'll demonstrate in a moment. But first, if you haven't yet heard, George Carlin died yesterday. For those outside of the US not familiar with his work, Carlin was an iconoclastic icon, and I use those terms explicitly literally in this case. The world will truly bu a suckier place without him. Today on Fresh Air (NPR talk program) Terry Gross ran old interviews with Carlin. In a 2004 interview (which I must've missed) he mentions that he enlisted in the military (he explains he did this to avoid the draft, i.e. the idea was he would get to choose what he wanted to do) and ended up in electronics and computers, and he specifically mentioned that he worked on analog computers. So besides being awesome, George Carlin was a hacker! LONG LIVE GEORGE!!
