ENIAC

ENIAC (/ˈini.æk/ or /ˈɛni.æk/; Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer) was the first electronic general-purpose computer. It was Turing-complete, digital, and could solve "a large class of numerical problems" through reprogramming.

Although ENIAC was designed and primarily used to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory, its first programs included a study of the feasibility of the thermonuclear weapon.

When ENIAC was announced in 1946, it was heralded as a "Giant Brain" by the press. It had a speed on the order of one thousand (103) times faster than that of electro-mechanical machines; this computational power, coupled with general-purpose programmability, excited scientists and industrialists alike.

Development and design

ENIAC's design and construction was financed by the United States Army, Ordnance Corps, Research and Development Command, led by Major General Gladeon M. Barnes. The construction contract was signed on June 5, 1943; work on the computer began in secret at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering the following month, under the code name "Project PX", with John Grist Brainerd as principal investigator.

Eniac (record producer)

Eniac (born Robert Borrmann) is a German composer and record producer, specializing in house music and techno. He is the writer and co-producer of several progressive house and progressive trance tracks, working collaboratively with other artists. He also produced gabber and psychedelic pop.

His first songs consisted of "My Way" and "Planet Love", From this his first EP was called "My Way to Planet Love". He then had his breakthrough with the hit "In Your Face" , with sounds resembling that of "The Prodigy".

Eniac created Tomcraft's hit "Loneliness" and "Prosac", and has worked with Niels Van Gogh on the tracks "Pulverturm" and "Doppelgänger". He was a member of Novy vs. Eniac; a short-lived collaboration with Tom Novy producing minor hits "Superstar", "Someday > Somehow", "Pumpin ..." and "Smoke This".

In July 2015 he released the single "People are People" on Motor Digital, Berlin.

    Truth Hurts

    by: Karisa Nowak

    Put on my cowboy boots and my favorite blue jeans
    Took your stash of cash, threw out those magazines
    Dirty dishes, laundry on the floor
    I didn't say a word as I slammed the front door
    All alone you can sit..... truth hurts, don't it.
    Left a note in the bible by the bed
    Said goodbye to all the lies you fed
    Called your momma, she likes me better
    Told her all the reasons why we're not together
    Go ahead a pitch a fit..... truth hurts, don't it.
    Truth Hurts, you bet it does
    When you're staying up late thinking of me just because
    Truth Hurts, that's a fact
    You done me wrong, I'm gone, and I ain't coming back
    Memories are all you're gonna get... truth hurts, don't it
    Down the road in my new old car
    Took my dog and your guitar
    So much for happy, so much for I do
    Cause I don't, I won't, spend my life with the likes of you
    All alone you can sit... the truth hurts, don't it.
    Truth Hurts, you bet it does
    When you're staying up late thinking of me just because
    Truth Hurts, that's a fact
    You done me wrong, I'm gone, and I ain't coming back
    Memories are all you're gonna get... truth hurts, don't it
