Crash

[edit]

"While working at SRI, he was the first person to 'crash' a computer, a beomoth computer at SRI known as ENIAC, by feeding it a complex mathematical problem it could not solve(he had successfully solved the problem manually" - sorry, this doesn't look very clever...

There must be some error here, but I don't know what, having been unable to verify this statement. The ENIAC was at the University of Pennsylvania until 1947, then was moved to the Aberdeen Proving Ground. So the statement "computer at SRI" is incorrect.
