Dizionario d’ortografia e di pronunzia

On Stack Overflow web site we read (bold by us):

The funniest server name story I have is from when I worked at the Kennedy Space Center. On our particular project, our main server was named snowwhite, and the 7 client workstations were named after the Seven Dwarves. The kicker is, one day one of our engineers ran into a Disney Imagineer who worked at Walt Disney World, and they started talking about server names. The Disney Imagineer said "that's funny, we have a group of servers named columbia, challenger, atlantis, and discovery."

Commodore BASIC as a Scripting Language for UNIX and Windows - now Open Source:

Here is a little background:

This application is a recompiled version of the original Commodore 64 binary - it is not a reimplementation, so while it runs at pretty much the maximum possible speed, it is still 100% compatible. The huge C file in the archive has been produced by feeding the original 6502 code into my static recompiler and optimizing it with LLVM. The original operating system interface (character I/O, LOAD, SAVE etc.) has been reimplemented in native C, so Commodore BASIC interfaces nicely with OS X/Windows/Unix - you can use pipe I/O, and you can pass the filename of a BASIC program on the command line.
