On this day I watched THE IMITATION GAME from 2014. A wonderful movie
about the sad life of Alan Turing. Someone who can truly be called the
father of modern computing. The story is mostly a bit of his child
hood at one the British boarding schools with the obligatory harsh
treatment of anyone seen as out of the ordinary and his work during
World War II in breaking the Enigma machine cryptography. Such poor
treatment of the man after all he did during the war and the lives he
helped saved that helped lead to his eventual suicide at a young age
(only in his early 40s.) All because he was homosexual and that was
very much against the law in the 40s/50s.

OK, this is weird - this time I see Ubi's original WDYW? post, but not
shawn's!

 

Why are shawn's posts not showing up on ES?!!

eternal-september. Your Thunderbird article database is corrupted. You
may have to rebuild it.
