Dear Reader: each year at the Harvard Commencement, three graduating students speak to approximately 32,000 students, faculty, parents, alumni/ae, and guests. As the first anthem concludes, a senior strides to the microphone and announces, "Salvete omnes!" What follows is one of the oldest of Harvard traditions - an oration in Latin. Although we had no similar tradition at MIT, I thought I would contribute this modest effort to the cause of improving communication between layabouts studying long-dead topics and superheroes developing exciting new technology.
Salavete omnes! VM est omnis divisa in partes tres, placitum et inventor Bob Creasy. Primary component eram hypervisor. Alter CMS , sermo monitor ratio. tertius eram RSCS , Longinquus Spooling Defero Subsystem. Horum omnium fortissimi sunt Hypervisor. Dissimilis alius IBM operating ratio VM /370, quod suus decessor CP -40 quod CP /67, postulo proprius intentio repono tutela quod relocation hardware. Creasy had seen mane in et relocation hardware could soleo suggero rectum apparatus pariter et rectum memoria. Is insight venit et him dum inrideo MBTA LXXVII bus ex Arlington ut Cambridge.
EGO propono a toast ut IBM Cambridge Scientific Center quod et suus farsighted procurator , Norm Rasmussen.

"rectum apparatus" suggests a colonoscopy or worse. Since it is supposed to designate "virtual machine", I recommend the combination of machina (as in "deus ex machina") and phantasma or effigia (e.g. ghostly or surrogate) be used instead.
ReplyDeleteGeorge, I am never ceased to be impressed by your talents. At first I thought you used Google Translate, until I realized Latin is not in their repertoire. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteNontheless, I thought you would be amused by the latin to english translator at "tranexp.com" (in the spirit of rotten meat and vodka...):
