I am pretty sure the author of this sign meant it to be humourous & sarcastic. Not sure about what he was trying to achieve.
Though the construction of the Theory and Computer Sciences Building was announced in 2007, to me the interior feels very much like '60s brutalist construction. Which is not a critique at all; I'm rather fond of that style.
I love the concrete and sharp geometries here, along with the sand garden filling the inner courtyard spaces. The repeated vertical and horizontal lines help make the inside feel very modern, in keeping with the buildings purpose.
It houses Argonne's Blue Gene/Q supercomputer, among other things.
AT ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY, THE MESSNER EFFECT IS THE EXPULSION OF A MAGNETIC FIELD FROM A SUPERCOMPUTER DURING ITS TRANSITION TO THE SUPERCONDUCTING STATE.
Walther Messner and Robert Ochdenfeld discovered the phenomenon in 1933 by measuring the magnetic field distribution outside superconducting tin and lad samples.

The Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) Centennial Gala, held Friday, October 20, in Aberdeen was the culminating event of a year-long celebration of APG’s 100th Anniversary. Approximately 780 people attended the Cabaret-themed event, which featured live music, a casino, dancing, comedy, fireworks, acrobats and other performers, and an After-Party at the Speakeasy. Merritt Property, which manages the Aberdeen Corporate Park on route 22 next to the Target store, donated the use of the 90,000-square foot building for the event. U.S. Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger, MG Randy Taylor, local and state elected officials, and senior Army officials were in attendance, as were hundreds of members of the Harford and Cecil County communities.
The Gala was hosted by the APG Centennial Celebration Association, which is working to establish the APG Discovery Center in Aberdeen. This facility will house an interactive STEM educational space for learners of all ages to experience science and technology through hands-on exhibits and demonstrations.
During 2017, the APG community hosted over 150 events during 2017 to commemorative APG’s 100-year history. The Live Fire, the APG Memorial dedication, the Rosie the Riveters movie, exhibits at the college and libraries, historical talks and presentations, and Science Cafes.

This picture is #042 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

Usually I'm not a friend of "Magic Numbers", but everyone who has read Douglas Adams' Book will know the special meaning of the number 42: It was the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything" calculated by the supercomputer "deep thought" [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(number)].
Therefore I wanted a very special person as my "Stranger #42" and I think Fabian is a perfect impersonation - and he knows the meaning of this number (!).
I met him at the "Stijl"-Event in Munich in a crowded gangway and felt immediately a strong photographic impulse, triggered by an impressive beard with a clothes pin hanging at the end. I asked him for a photo and introduced the project "100 strangers" in an abbreviated form.
Fabian agreed without hesitation to participate and told me that they were presenting some products for shaving and beard care at their booth at the end of the event area, where he would work for blackbeards, an online shop specialized to this market sector. He is also acting as a model for this brand and therefore you can find his face not only on the website but also on printed flyers and in social networks like "Facebook" as a representative for blackbeards.
Though I had finished my "bearded phase" a few weeks ago I decided to visit their representation and realized this shortly before closing time of the event.
The first photo was taken at the place of the first encounter among the visitors, the others were made at the exhibition stand with some marketing elements in the background.

Normalerweise gebe ich nichts auf "Zahlenmystik", aber wer das Buch von Douglas Adams kennt, wird mit der Zahl 42 eine besondere Bedeutung verbinden: Es war die Antwort des Supercomputers "deep thought" auf die ultimative Frage nach "dem Leben, dem Universum und dem ganzen Rest“ (engl. “life, the universe and everything"), die dieser nach endlosen Berechnungen mit dieser Zahl quittierte. [de.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_(Antwort)]
Ich hatte deshalb die Absicht, für meinen Stranger #42 eine besondere Person zu finden. Mit Fabian ist mir das gelungen - und er kennt diese Bedeutung der Zahl 42 :-).
Er lief mir im Gedränge auf der "Stijl"-Veranstaltung in München über den Weg und löste sofort einen fotografischen Impuls aus, weil er einen stattlichen Bart trug, an dem eine Wäscheklammer mit der Aufschrift "blackbeards" hing.
Ich sprach ihn an und es stellte sich heraus, dass er als Aussteller auf der Messe mit einem Stand vertreten war, wo Produkte "rund um den Bart" präsentiert wurden.
Nachdem ich ihm das Projekt "100 Strangers" kurz vorgestellt hatte, erklärte er sich ohne Zögern bereit mitzumachen. Als Werbeträger für die Marke blackbeards verfügt er bereits über Erfahrungen als Modell und sein Gesicht erscheint nicht nur auf der Website des Online-Shops, sondern auch auf gedruckten Broschüren und in sozialen Netzwerken wie "Facebook". Ich nahm mir deshalb vor, später seinen Stand zu besuchen, auch wenn ich meine eigenen Ambitionen als Träger eines Vollbarts mittlerweile aufgegeben habe (zuviele graue Haare :-).
In der Zwischenzeit bummelte ich durch die Räume, stöberte im vielfältigen Angebot und lernte ein paar nette Leute kennen, von denen einige ebenfalls als Motiv für mein Fotoprojekt in Frage gekommen wären. Unter anderem ergab sich aus einer weiteren Begegnung auf dieser Veranstaltung mein [Stranger #43 - Aline].
Kurz vor Ende des Events fand ich dann die Präsentation der Blackbeards-Vertreter, die erwartungsgemäß alle eindrucksvolle Bärte besitzen, zumindest die Männer. Dort versuchte ich noch ein paar Porträts von Fabian, die ihn zusammen mit Werbeelementen der Marke zeigen. Eine der letzten Aufnahmen, die alle ohne zusätzliche Aufhellung bei den gegebenen Lichtverhältnissen entstanden, habe ich für das Projekt ausgewählt. Bei der Nachbearbeitung fiel mir dann auf, dass der rote Stoff an seiner Cap zu einer leichten Farbverfälschung auf dem Gesicht führte, was ich nicht vollständig beseitigen konnte (eine wichtige Erfahrung für die technischen Aspekte der Porträtfotografie!).
Eine ausnahmsweise zusätzlich erstellte Schwarz-Weiss-Variante kaschiert dieses Problem und steht deshalb zu Vergleichszwecken hier zur Verfügung.
Bei Fabian möchte ich mich an dieser Stelle für die Bereitschaft zur Teilnahme und für die Geduld bei der kurzen zusätzlichen Aufnahmesession bedanken!

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory computer scientists responded to the availability of the CDC 6600 and CDC 7600 with a long, fertile period of custom software development. The Livermore Time Sharing System (LTSS) enabled hundreds of users to run application codes simultaneously and tune them interactively. Large libraries of Fortran subroutines evolved, optimized for the Laboratory’s mathematical and graphical needs. The local job-control language, online documentation system, and file-storage service set the standards in their fields, as did the whimsically named Octopus network that efficiently connected hundreds of remote terminals and printers to the central, shared computers.
In April 1955 the first of four IBM 704s arrived at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The main virtue of the 704 was a larger and improved memory based on ferrite cores, and hardware support for floating point arithmetic. It was faster than the IBM 701 and vastly more reliable. The 704 introduced the use of Index Registers to facilitate addressing. One of the major accessories was a CRT system that allowed direct viewing and/or recording of data on 35mm filmstrips.
Arsenal (Vienna)
The Vienna Arsenal, object 1
(Pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
The Arsenal in Vienna is a former military complex in the southeast of the city, located in the 3rd district of Vienna. The mighty, consisting of several brick buildings facility is located on a rectangular plan on a hill south of the Country Road Belt (Landstraßer Gürtel).
Meaning
The Arsenal is the most important secular assembly of Romantic Historicism in Vienna and was conducted in Italian-Medieval and Byzantine-Moorish forms. Essentially the complex is preserved in its original forms; only the former workshop buildings within the bounding, from the the outside visible wings were replaced by new constructions.
History to 1945

Vienna Arsenal (Museum of Military History)
Arsenal, with HGM (Heeresgeschichtliches Museum) from the East
The complex, with a total of 31 "objects" (buildings) was built from 1849 to 1856 on the occasion of the March Revolution of 1848 and was the first building of the fortress triangle, replacing the old Vienna's city walls, with the Rossauer Barracks and the now-defunct Franz Joseph barracks at Stubenring. These buildings should not serve to deter foreign enemies from the city, but to secure state power in the event of revolutionary upheavals in Vienna. The decision to build the Arsenal, it came from the 19-year-old Emperor Franz Joseph I who on 2 December 1848 had come to the throne.
The design for the Imperial Artillery Arsenal came from General Artillery Director Vincenz Freiherr von Augustin, to which, subsequently, the site management had been transferred. Under his leadership, the buildings under assignment of sectors have been planned of the architects Carl Roesner, Antonius Pius de Riegel, August Sicard von Sicardsburg, Eduard van der Nüll, Theophil von Hansen and Ludwig Förster and built by the company of the architect Leopold Mayr.
From 1853 to 1856, Arsenal church was built by the architect Carl Roesner. The K.K. Court Weapon Museum, later K.K. Army Museum, now Museum of Military History, housed in a separate representative free-standing wing, was completed structurally in 1856, but was only in 1869 for the first time accessible.
For the construction of the Arsenal 177 million bricks were used. Construction costs totaled $ 8.5 million guilders. In the following years, there have been extensions. During the two world wars, the complex served as a weapons factory and arsenal, especially as barracks.
The record number of employees in Arsenal was reached in the First World War, with around 20,000 staffers. After 1918, the military-industrial operation with own steel mill was transformed into a public service institution with the name "Austrian Factories Arsenal". However, there were almost insoluble conversion problems in the transition to peacetime production, the product range was too great and the mismanagement considerable. The number of employees declined steadily, and the company became one of the great economic scandals of the First Republic.
By the fall of 1938, the area belonged to the 10th District Favoriten. However, as was established during the "Third Reich" the Reich District of Greater Vienna, became the arsenal complex and the south-east of it lying areas in the wake of district boundary changes parts of the 3rd District.
During the Second World War, in the Arsenal tank repair workshops of the Waffen-SS were set up. In the last two years of the war several buildings were severely damaged by bombing. During the Battle of Vienna, in the days of 7 to 9 April 1945, was the arsenal, defended by the 3rd SS Panzer Division "Totenkopf", focus of the fighting, the Red Army before its victory facing heavy losses.
History since 1945
Ruins of the object 15 after the air raids 1944
Deposits at the Arsenal Street
After heavy bomb damages during the Second World War, the buildings of the Arsenal were largely restored to their original forms.
In the southern part and in the former courtyard of the arsenal several new buildings were added, among them 1959-1963 the decoration workshops of the Federal Theatre designed by the architects Erich Boltenstern and Robert Weinlich. From 1961 to 1963, the telecommunications central office was built by the architect Fritz Pfeffer. From 1973 to 1975 were built operation and office building of the Post and Telephone Head Office for Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland (now Technology Centre Arsenal of Telekom Austria) with the 150-meter high radio tower in Vienna Arsenal according to the plans of architect Kurt Eckel. In the 1990s, a rehearsal stage of the Castle Theater (Burgtheater) was built according to plans by Gustav Peichl.
Also the Austrian Research and Testing Centre Arsenal, now Arsenal Research, which has made itself wordwide a celebrity by one of the largest air chambers (now moved to Floridsdorf - 21st District), was housed in the complex. A smaller part of the complex is still used by the Austrian army as a barracks. Furthermore, the Central Institute for Disinfection of the City of Vienna and the Central Chemical Laboratory of the Federal Monuments Office are housed in the arsenal. The Military History Museum uses multiple objects as depots.
In one part of the area residential buildings were erected. The Arsenal is forming an own, two census tracts encompassing census district, which according to the census in 2001 had 2.058 inhabitants.
End of 2003, the arsenal in connection with other properties of the Federal Property Society (BIG - Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft) was sold to a private investor group. Since early 2006, the lawyer of Baden (Lower Austria, not far away from Vienna) Rudolf Fries and industrialist Walter Scherb are majority owners of the 72,000 m2 historic site that they want to refurbish and according to possibility rent new. Fries also plans to enlarge the existing living space by more than a half (about 40,000 m2).
An architectural design competition, whose jury on 28 and 29 in June 2007 met, provided proposals amounting to substantial structural changes in the complex. Such designed competition winner Hohensinn a futuristic clouds clip modeled after El Lissitzky's cloud bracket, a multi-level horizontal structure on slender stilts over the old stock on the outskirts of the Swiss Garden. The realization of these plans is considered unlikely.
Some objects are since 2013 adapted for use by the Technical University of Vienna: Object 227, the so-called "Panzerhalle" will house laboratories of the Institute for Powertrains and Automotive Technology. In object 221, the "Siemens hall", laboratories of the Institute for Energy Technology and Thermodynamics as well as of the Institute for Manufacturing Technology and High Power Laser Technology are built. In object 214 is besides the Technical Testing and Research Institute (TVFA) also the second expansion stage of the "Vienna Scientific Cluster" housed, of a supercomputer, which was built jointly by the Vienna University of Technology, the University of Vienna and the University of Agricultural Sciences.
Accessibility
The arsenal was historically especially over the Landstraßer Gürtel developed. Today passes southeast in the immediate proximity the Südosttangente called motorway A23 with it connection Gürtel/Landstraßer Hauptstrasse. Southwest of the site runs the Eastern Railway, the new Vienna Central Station closes to the west of the arsenal. Two new bridges over the Eastern Railway, the Arsenal Stay Bridge and the Southern Railway bridge and an underpass as part of Ghegastraße and Alfred- Adler-Straße establish a connection to the on the other side of the railway facilities located Sonnwendviertel in the 10th District, which is being built on the former site of the freight train station Vienna South Station.
On the center side is between Arsenal and Landstraßer Gürtel the former Maria Josefa Park located, now known as Swiss Garden. Here stands at the Arsenal street the 21er Haus, a branch of the Austrian Gallery Belvedere, on the center-side edge of the Swiss Garden has the busy suburban main railway route the stop Vienna Quartier Belvedere, next to it the Wiener Linien D (tram) and 69A (bus) run.
The Maeslantkering ("Maeslant barrier" in Dutch) is a storm surge barrier on the Nieuwe Waterweg, in South Holland, Netherlands. Part of the Delta Works, the barriers are controlled by a supercomputer, and automatically close when Rotterdam (especially the Port of Rotterdam) is threatened by floods.
Maeslantkering has two 210 meters long barrier gates, with two 237 meters long steel trusses holding them. When closed, the barrier will protect the entire width (360 meters) of the Nieuwe Waterweg, the main waterway of Port of Rotterdam. It is one of the largest moving structures on Earth, rivalling the Green Bank Telescope in the United States and the Bagger 288 excavator in Germany. Source: Wikipedia. Maassluis, the Netherlands

Supernova: Techno Samurai from the Future: An android from the future, Supernova's design was inspired by the Ninja ("Gray Fox") from Metal Gear Solid. He can generate two energy blades from his hands, has a supercomputer grafted to his brain within his REVOLUTION mask, and he takes no prisoners (they programmed that part out). I personally like the mask.
In May 1962, the first Control Data Corporation CDC 3600 was installed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The 3600 was a step in a plan for an orderly transition to the CDC 6600. The CDC 3600 had 32,700 48-bit words of memory and supported the FORTRAN 66 compiler and storage cycle times ranging from 1.5 microseconds to .8 microseconds. Its circuitry was designed by Seymour Cray, who went on create his own line of Cray computers.
