Subject: GSL Sneak Preview TODAY!
THIRD FLOOR THEORY PLAYROOM Today at noon -- A Sneak Preview: Golem and Global's Production of "THE RIGHT BITS" This is a sneak preview of this summer's coming blockbuster mega-hit, based on Tom Adler's book about the early days of computer science. From the opening symbolic sequence in which a Turing machine computes recursive factorial, to the climactic scene at the Algol Conference, where the European Delegate shouts "No! No! I will never use a period for a decimal point!", this film moves at N^2 speed! You won't want to miss the suspenseful scene in which Grace Hopper (played by Farrah Fawcett) hunts through the dark interior of ENIAC with a flashlight. With David Bowie as Alan Turing and Mister T as IBM.
