"On two occasions I have been asked, — "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."

@Gargron Apparently tech support has always been hell

@Gargron See. Even the difference engine gave Babbage and Lovelace project governance issues.

@Gargron can’t believe Babbage didn’t give the difference engine error-correcting codes. Sad!

@gargron
The difference engine...
Great novel in my opinion.👍

@Gargron explains why cybersecurity laws are so messed up; they never had a clue.

@Gargron Babbage invented the first computer, and then he encountered the first computer trolls.
