the 2012 trivial drivel thread

[Cracker]

Thanks for asking. I like thinking about my dad. The TRW name originally was initials for some of the founders although my dad said people that he worked with called it Tiger Ready Willing (this was pre-Tiger Woods--talk about foresight).

Funny, I just googled Tiger Ready Willing and TRW and apparently there was a team called Tiger Team that was assembled to carry out some department of defense mandate. My dad's boss's name is in there so I guess that's why they called it that. Learn something new everyday.

I'm sure glad I'm posting this in the boring, drivel thread.

That's cool, user. This is Lockheed country. TECH has an awesome research facility that sits by Dobbins AFB. Of course Alabama has a rich history (Redstone Aresenal and the home of NASA's German Brigade). People think it's all nigs and podunk around here, but I'm pretty sure this would be a primary target if shit went bad wrong.

I remember the TRW commercials:
Tiling. Most people don't see it as math, but it is. Tiling, Madlebrot Set, iteration. Interesting stuff.
