The first video game, Spacewar -- created in 1962 on M.I.T.'s hefty PDP-1 computer, which was the size of three refrigerators with a control panel full of switches and light -- featured two rudimentary spaceships firing torpedoes at each other.
The trouble is that so-called rogue nations, like North Korea, Iran and Iraq, would fire wobbling, rudimentary warheads during an attack, and those turn out to be among the hardest to hit.
Almost half of the world's population still cook and heat their homes using solid fuels in open fires and rudimentary stoves.
For others, ambitions aren't so easily met, and they embark on a project to build a scale replica of the Taj Mahal, or the Starship Enterprise, or even to use sand and water to create logic gates that fire a giant rudimentary computer scrawled into the landscape.
Run by the Firemen's Association of the State of New York, the museum measures 50,000 square feet and includes nearly 100 fire trucks, from rudimentary carts that were pulled through the streets in the 1700's, topped with leather buckets filled with water that were set to be used by bucket brigades, to the more modern machines, some from Westchester firehouses.
Early rudimentary bombs like the huopao fire bomb and the huopao bombs propelled by trebuchet were also in use as incendiary weapons.
However, due the unexpected rapidity of the Japanese advance, most of the new conscripts received only rudimentary training on how to fire their guns on their way to or upon their arrival at the frontlines.
Their guns may be well camouflaged when not firing, and even rudimentary spotters can identify US aircraft in the vicinity.
Results from Water Boiling Tests (average thermal efficiency 18%) and Controlled Cooking Tests (specific consumption 4.2 MJ per kg of cooked food) show how this technology could represent a viable alternative to three-stone fires and other rudimentary cooking systems, allowing the recovery of energy from a waste biomass.
Modern liquid fuel use is limited and traditional solid fuels (mainly wood) are used for daily cooking in rudimentary devices like 3-stone fires, resulting in low efficiency fuel use, huge health impacts, increasing exploitation stress for the local natural resources.
