Doctors then gave Eckert an enema and forced him to have a bowel movement in the presence of a nurse and policeman, according to a lawsuit that Eckert filed.

And Eckert and Mauchly definitively came to this idea before the involvement of Von Neumann.

There, you can find Eckert and Mauchly utterly central to the elucidation of how to build a general purpose electronic computer.

Presper Eckert Jr., and it was the first general purpose electronic computer.

I hope Eckert will win a civil suit, but my guess is that the worst part of this story will be the lack of deep constitutional scrutiny.

It seems they are making pains to say this was a team of females, alone, with no male members; but Mauchly and Eckert were part of the team, no?

Look, I’m sure it’s true that the crispness of that paper can be attributed to Von Neumann, but it’s a non-sequitur to assume that Eckert and Mauchly’s ideas were jumbled.

> But the authorities, hospital and doctors all refused to comment, and, a few days ago, the city and county settled the lawsuit by paying Eckert $1.6 million.

If you asked me for some names in early computing, I'd come up with Babbage, Ada, Turing, Zuse, Eckert and Mauchley, perhaps Atanasoff and Berry.

And in fact much of this paper is criticizing regulation; it even cites evidence arguing that regulation hurts the poor (emphasis mine): > Others (such as Eckert 1970, Beesley and Glaister 1983, and Frankena and Pautler 1986 advocate removing entry restrictions and eliminating monopoly rents.

Go ask David Eckert if it was "minimal hassle" after he consented to have his car searched.

Regarding this part: "Doctors took X-rays of Eckert’s abdomen and performed a rectal examination.

"John von Neumann invented the digital computer" Mauchly and Eckert did but Neumann came and stole the fame.

From the link mentioned in another comment as a more stable and permanent URL: ""Math Blaster" is a 1983 educational game programmed by Richard Eckert and Janice Davidson, Ph.

If you want to reason that the hardware is at fault, you should be blaming the Eckert-Mauchley architecture.

Neither Eckert, nor Mauchly, nor Zuse knew about Alan Turing’s 1936 paper when they designed their machines.

This is not just an invasion of Mr Eckert's privacy but a matter of public concern.
