    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.

                          Everybody is like Tesla is the best, Einstein is the best! Nobody (I mean no laymen) ever invoke the name of Landau.. :(( Yet, when I studied physics, there was always a Landau theorem about whatever topic we were studying! :o

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