| Jun 1, 2011 at 20:51 | comment | added | Hugo | I've found plenty of references of first "foo" and later "bar" from MIT and also DEC (both in Massachusetts), in their work on LISP and the PDP-1 and Project MAC from 1964 onwards. It's a nice idea, but I couldn't find any reference to an "inverted foo signal". More here: programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/69788/… | |
