Fun discovery for today - the etymology of 'boot' as in to boot a computer, comes from the idiom to pull oneself up by one's bootstraps - to start you have to load software, but in order to do so, you have to be running first. Thus booting pulls the computer up by its bootstraps.

Happy Birthday Sir Isaac Newton who was born today 381 years ago!

His pioneering book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, first published in 1687, consolidated many previous results and established classical mechanics. Newton also made seminal contributions to optics, and shares credit with German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for developing infinitesimal calculus, though he developed calculus years before Leibniz.
