    Excluding politics, sports and Albert Einstein, who are your biggest heroes? One of mine is the late, great Dr. Stephen Hawkings. Another, despite the fact that I don't actually care for iCrap products, is Steve Wozniak. Note: I would have said Winston Churchill but politicians are excluded.

    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                "They have us surrounded - those poor bastards". Is that from them? Not sure if even a real quote, but it's been around for a long, long time.

                              I wonder how different the world would be if people like Landau were thought of as celebrities?

                                          Excluding politics, sports and Albert Einstein, who are your biggest heroes? One of mine is the late, great Dr. Stephen Hawkings. Another, despite the fact that I don't actually care for iCrap products, is Steve Wozniak. Note: I would have said Winston Churchill but politicians are excluded.

                                          - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
