The data reconstruction discussion is interesting. Note the "rapid responses"
Appendix: Supplementary Material (46 page .pdf): Recovery and validation of MCE data and study materials I'm no expert on this stuff. But note the replies to the article already published on the web page under the Rapid Responses link. E.g.: Dietary fats and cardiovascular disease The details in these studies matter. Too often the details aren't understood by the press or are deliberately fuzzed before the public hears about them. I'm not saying that happened here - it's just something I try to be on the lookout for... Cheers, Scott. (Who thinks (with no strong evidence) that in a reasonably well-rounded diet, the quantity of food eaten probably matters more than the details of the types of fat eaten as far as the development of heart disease and the like.) |

Study that finds "amazing" contrary result is badly designed, film at 11
But never mind that. That's some old old shit they're dealing with. I'd never heard of Kronos. Kronos is an operating system with time-sharing capabilities, written by Control Data Corporation in the 1970s. Kronos ran on the 60-bit CDC 6000 series mainframe computers and their successors. CDC replaced Kronos with the NOS operating system in the late 1970s, which were succeeded by the NOS/VE operating system in the mid-1980s.[1] That's the whole Wikipedia article on Kronos. Pertec have a bit more information. Seems that they vanished in the late 80s/early 90s. Actually setting up and recovering this data would have been quite an interesting exercise. Unusual to say "on the nth day of 198x" rather than "June the 27th 198x". ETA: Of course there's an emulator. |

nth day of 198x = "Julian" date format. (As opposed to proper Julian, w/o the quote marks.)
