Before him, even.Mk said:Nicéphore Niépce?
Nein!Mk said:Johann Zahn?
Nein! Es: "No se habla Español."Mk said:No hablamos Español.
That probably would have been better fitting, but I was feeling especially <insert word here> and I decided to go for "We do not speak spanish." Was I right?"No se habla Español."
"No hablamos Espanol" doesn't mean "We don't speak Spanish." It means: "We are not speaking Spanish." The verb "to speak" is reflexive in that language: se hablar: to be spoken. When a Spanish speaker want to convey the information they speak Spanish it is done by saying: "Spanish is spoken" or "Se habla Espanol". The opposite, "I/we don't speak Spanish" is "No se habla Espanol."Mk said:That probably would have been better fitting, but I was feeling especially <insert word here> and I decided to go for "We do not speak spanish."

Mmmm thank you/.The verb "to speak" is reflexive in that language: se hablar: to be spoken. When a Spanish speaker want to convey the information they speak Spanish it is done by saying: "Spanish is spoken" or "Se habla Espanol". The opposite, "I/we don't speak Spanish" is "No se habla Espanol."
For all of that, it didn't have the horsepower of a programable hand calulator today.wolram said:It was 10 feet tall, occupied 1,000 square feet of floor- space, weighed in at approximately 30 tons, and used more than 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors, 6,000 switches, and 18,000 vacuum tubes. The final machine required 150 kilowatts of power, which was enough to light a small town.

what was it?

The purpose of the world's largest computer in 1951, known as the UNIVAC I, was to process and store large amounts of data for the US Census Bureau. It was also used for other tasks such as weather prediction and scientific calculations.
The UNIVAC I was approximately 8 feet tall, 7 feet wide, and 14 feet long. It weighed around 13,000 pounds and required its own dedicated room for operation.
The UNIVAC I was developed by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, who were also the inventors of the ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic digital computer.
The UNIVAC I had a processing speed of 1,905 instructions per second and could store up to 1,000 words of data. In comparison, modern computers can process millions of instructions per second and have storage capacities in the terabytes.
The original UNIVAC I is currently on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington D.C. However, there were multiple UNIVAC I computers built and some can still be found in museums or private collections around the world.
