No they don't, all 'sound' is just vibrations... It is just the instruments in our bodies that convert them into audible frequency.

guys this is one of the oldest questions in the world, does sound exist if noone is around to hear it...
heck you can apply it to everything:
does an object exists if noone sees it

or this one will screw your mind
does a an idea exist before someone thinks it?

Plato thought so... what do you think?

But be sure of this... you wont answer the question

Wow, that's tough... The brain always confuses me, and I don't think my thinking is abstract enough to unravel that mystery of the world... I'm interested to hear what others say

What do you mean in-house? Commercially availab.e? AFAIK, it is the K5, the K standing for "Kryptonite"

Here we go:
In what year was the word "computer" first used to describe a mechanical calculation device?

 

[YEA_PC_PHONICS]

first programmable computer was in 1820 by charles babbage

 

[Bobo]

It wasn't called a computer.

I believe it was called an "analytical engine"

 

[magicman]

1897. I think...

 

[Bobo]

1897. I think...

Yep!

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word "computer" was first used to describe a mechanical calculating device in 1897. Although the word existed previously, it had been used to describe "a person who computes or performs calculations."

[YEA_PC_PHONICS]

[Bobo]

Ok, here's my question:

Either Bob Metcalfe or Robert Kahn

Robert Kahn was the answer I was looking for. YEA_PC_PHONICS has it. Sorry Bobo, a fraction too late.
