Ranching
Ranching is an extensive way of raising livestock, primarily grazing cattle, sheep and horses, but also involves production of many other animals. The term ranch is used loosely as it is primarily up to the owner's discretion whether his/her locale is a farm or ranch, but it is commonly known as a very large tract of land that is often used in its native state. The historical and current practices of ranching and rangeland management among other things pertaining to ranching can be discussed in this category.

How much computing power was used to land on the moon?
From Computers in Spaceflight: The NASA Experience: The Apollo guidance computer: Hardware
MIT's original design called for just 4K words of fixed memory and 256 words of erasable (at the time, two computers for redundancy were still under consideration). By June 1963, the figures had grown to 10K of fixed and 1K of erasable. The next jump was to 12K of fixed, with MIT still insisting that the memory requirement for an autonomous lunar mission could be kept under 16K! Fixed memory leapt to 24K and then finally to 36K words, and erasable memory had a final configuration of 2K words
See link below for much more indepth information on the Apollo cumputers.
Why ranchers get angry about barbed wire?
This is an "OLD West" Question. Ranchers in the old west used the open range to feed their cattle. They would graze on open land year round. In the summer they would graze in the high country where it was cooler and in the winter they came down to the low country to graze. When farmers arrived in the territories they fenced off their land with Barbed Wire to keep the cattle out. This cut up the open land that the ranchers had always used. Farmers also brought Sheep. Sheep will eat grass down to the roots. Where cattle will not. This also killed off much of the grass land that the cattle needed. Farmers used Barbed wire to keep the cattle out. Cattle, being stupid, would often get caught in the wire, injuring themselves and often dieing from their wounds. Ranchers hated the new farmers and this led to Wars between ranchers and farmers in the Old West.

Worldwide, 5 billion salmon are raised each year by Salmon Ranching. Salmon ranching is a process that sees salmon eggs hatched in freshwater hatcheries, cultured in net pens and released into the ocean basin to compete with natural salmon for food. When they return to their hatchery of birth (2-5 years) they are caught by fishing boats. Alaska salmon is comprised of 40% "ranched" salmon. The term "wild-caught" salmon is often used to sell ranched salmon as the seller is not legally allowed to call the salmon "wild".
