	Charles P. Thacker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thacker worked in the 1970s and 1980s at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), where he served as project leader of the Xerox Alto personal computer system, was co-inventor of the Ethernet LAN, and contributed to many other projects, including the first laser printer.
		In 1983, Thacker was a founder of the Systems Research Center (SRC) at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), and in 1997, he joined Microsoft Research to help establish Microsoft's research lab in Cambridge, United Kingdom.
		Thacker holds an honorary doctorate from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and is a Technical Fellow at Microsoft.

	Charles Daniel Thacker #993
		Thacker was sentenced to death for the 1993 capital murder of 26-year-old Karen Crawford.
		Charles Daniel Thacker, 37, was executed by lethal injection on 9 November 2005 in Huntsville, Texas for the attempted rape and murder of a woman in her apartment complex.
		Thacker's lawyer, Robin Norris, filed several unsuccessful appeals attempting to stop the execution, although he acknowledged that his client had a "fairly long history as a sexual predator." One of Norris's failed last-hour appeals claimed that the lethal injection procedure is unconstitutionally cruel.

	2004 Recipients of the Charles Stark Draper Prize
		Charles P. Thacker wrote much of its microcode and can be credited, together with Butler Lampson, for the superb economy of the Alto’s design.
		Thacker has led teams that have designed a number of innovative networks and computer systems over the years, including the first multiprocessor personal workstation, the first system to employ the DEC Alpha chip, the Autonet, and AN2 local area networks, and the Microsoft Tablet PC.
		Charles Thacker was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, is a distinguished alumnus of the Computer Science Department at the University of California, is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a fellow of the ACM, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.

	Thacker Genealogy On The Net
		One story was he was not a Thacker but was a orphan and was left with the Thackers to raise him and was given the Thacker name.
		I have yet to find any Thackers who are also African-American who are not members of my immediate family, and as well as family historians can tell, it was the name of the man who was the slaveowner of my great-great-great grandparents, they simply continued using his last name when slavery ended.
		His brother Sam Thacker was found bound and gagged in a rowboat in the Ohio river all shot up and the sheriff ruled it a suicide.

	Senior HP Fellow Alan Kay named recipient of Draper Award
		HP Senior Fellow Alan Kay has been named one of the winners of the 2004 National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Charles Stark Draper Prize -- which some call the "Academy Awards of engineering" -- for the invention of the networked personal computer.
		The award was presented on February 24 at a dinner in Washington, D.C. The citation credits the four "for the vision, conception and development of the principles for, and their effective integration in, the world's first practical networked personal computers," an achievement that "has changed almost every aspect of our lives," the NAE noted.
		Thacker served as project leader of the Alto system and was co-inventor of the Ethernet LAN.

		This paper shows how the technique of retiming can be used to transform a given synchronous circuit into a more efficient circuit under a variety of different cost criteria.
		The CSG representations for a polyhedron P are based on the half-spaces supporting the faces of P. For certain kinds of polyhedra this problem is equivalent to the corresponding problem for simple polygons in the plane.
		We give a new proof that the interior of each simple polygon can be represented by a monotone boolean formula based on the half-planes supporting the sides of the polygon and using each such half-plane only once.
