    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 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:

              If they had all climbed the highest mountain in the world outside the Himalyas, on their own, with a paralysed left arm, from a bike crash, yes!

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

As tongue in check as that sounds, my life as a software developer has been significantly, and in positive ways, influenced by the existence of Code Project. While that can be said of many people (99% of them are dead), there's something to be said about a hero that is relevant.
