--- Quote ---The team who developed ENIAC, recognizing its flaws, came up with a far more flexible and elegant design which has become known as the stored program architecture, which is the basis from which virtually all modern computers were derived.

--- Quote ---Atanas Atanasov was a 38-year old Bulgarian crew member of the French oil tanker Limburg. Atanasov was working on the Limburg when it was rammed by an explosives-laden boat on October 6, 2002. After the blast, Atanasov was either thrown or jumped into the sea off Yemen, where he died. His body was found a day later.
Mr. Atanasov became the first Bulgarian victim of international terrorism in modern times.
