Who are your heroes?

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.

Wozniak is cool and he actually stood against what iCrap nowadays is. Example: Back then, he fought for expansion slots unlike nowadays "Just buy the more expensive option".

Rear Admiral Grace Hopper - one of the greats of the early days of computing. Famed for her work on COBOL and CODASYL. Also well known for carrying a nanosecond in her handbag (a piece of wire about 12" long) to demonstrate the physical limits of computing as its length is the maximum distance that electromagnetic energy (e.g. light) can travel in a second.

I have many heroes. Here are my top 5 Johannes Gutenberg - Without him a book was un-affordable.:thumbsup: Aaron Swartz - A genius and hacktivist. Murdered by the US government. You will be missed.:rose: Alan Turing - A great mind and treated so wrong by the UK government. :(( Steven Hawking - The genius of all mankind and a great sense of humor. Big Bang Theory is not as funny without you. :-D Unknown - The inventor of the number zero, the basis of all computer code.:java:

He has also driven Triumph Bonnevilles around most of the known world. Some of his stories are incredible, really, he should write a book.
