Andrea Registered: 08/21/03 Loc: Los Angeles	Professor Conway is being honored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer Society "for contributions to superscalar architecture, including multiple-issue dynamic instruction scheduling, and for the innovation and widespread teaching of simplified VLSI design methods." I kinda know what that means, but I do know that it's a big deal! http://www.computer.org/portal/web/awards/conway

Marcella Misanthropic Cow Registered: 03/31/03 Loc: Pasture	Ok, ok, we get it, you're a dangerous lunatic. No need to post several empty messages to make the point, geez. Glad for Lynn Conway. Her impact is double: one as a technologist, and two as an educator. _________________________ This a spiritual thing and I am the laughing Buddha sitting on top of the world. Donnalee.

qRachelp Regular Registered: 12/02/09 Loc: Little Rock	Coolness and stuff! I take it she's a member here, and/or that she's received an award in a field that used to be dominated by males. I bet she looks better than the rest of 'em, too! _________________________ Around the world and back again. On this plane of existence where men rule 'cause no one in power will admit to a better way, I speak for womanhood as a man who will both mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually crush other men, depending on whichever method is required, to secure inherent rights for women. whether they be GG, TG or otherwise....~ Brotherly/Sisterly Love, Truett

Roxanne Registered: 01/28/03 Loc: Seattle, WA	Hah, see, women can be hard-core engineers. Take that sexist computer industry. _________________________ I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank Herbert
