Richard Steele - Richard Steele Richard Steele (1672-1729) was an Irish writer and politician, remembered, along with his friend, Joseph Addison, as co-founder of The Spectator magazine. Steele was born in Dublin, Ireland, and educated at Charterhouse, where he first met Addison. He went on to Merton College, Oxford, then joined the Life Guards.

Jargon File - revisions of jargon-1 were all unnumbered and may be collectively considered 'Version 1'. In 1976, Mark Crispin, having seen an announcement about the File on the SAIL computer, FTPed a copy of the File to MIT. He noticed that it was hardly restricted to 'AI words' and so stored the file on his directory as AI:MRC;SAIL JARGON. The file was quickly renamed JARGON > (the '>' caused versioning under ITS) as a flurry of enhancements were made by Mark Crispin and Guy L. Steele Jr Unfortunately, amidst all this activity, nobody thought of correcting the term 'jargon' to 'slang' until the compendium had already become widely known as the Jargon File. Perhaps the term 'jargon' gave the compendium faux seriousness. Raphael Finkel dropped out of active participation shortly thereafter and Don.

In 1699, he began training for the diplomatic service, and travelled widely in Europe, all the time writing and studying politics. His poem, The Campaign, celebrating the Battle of Blenheim, won.

Emacs - versatile text editor that is popular with programmers. It was originally written by Richard Stallman in 1976, as a set of Editor MACroS for the TECO editor. Since its original incarnation, Emacs has been re-implemented multiple times. Nowadays, the two most popular versions are GNU Emacs (also written by Stallman) and its close relative XEmacs. The lower-case word emacs (plural emacsen) can be taken to mean the class of editors with behavior similar to the original Emacs. The capitalized word Emacs is often used synonymously with GNU Emacs. Emacs History Emacs began at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT. Prior to its introduction, TECO was the default text editor in ITS, the operating system on the AI Lab's PDP-6 and PDP-10 computers. Unlike modern text editors, TECO abstracted the task of.
