One Horse Race

The replica of Colossus, the world's first true computer that was built during the Second World War, was beaten in a cipher-breaking race with a modern computer.

In other news, a replica of the 1903 Wright Flier was defeated in speed trails by an F-22 Raptor.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
