Haha.. reminds me of Automata Theory. I actually enjoyed the tests in the class quite a lot. Happy Birthday Turing!

Don't forget these guys:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alonzo_Church

"He went on to prove that there was no solution to the Entscheidungsproblem by first showing that the halting problem for Turing machines is undecidable: in general, it is not possible to decide algorithmically, whether a given Turing machine will ever halt. While his proof was published shortly after Alonzo Church's equivalent proof in respect of his lambda calculus, Turing was unaware of Church's work at the time that he developed it.^"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Neumann

"He presented a paper on 19 February 1946, which was the first detailed design of a stored-program computer. Von Neumann's incomplete First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC had predated Turing's paper, but it was much less detailed and, according to John R. Womersley, Superintendent of the NPL Mathematics Division, it "contains a number of ideas which are Dr. Turing's own."

Yes, I went there.

Electrons are for chumps.

@kettch:

I saw his machine at the computer history museum in Mountain View, CA. It was off the hook.

Electrons are most definitely not for chumps.

All pale in comparison to this guy.

This guy is even more rad.

What's with this sausagefest?

@cbae: Poor lady Lovelace got her name smeared by the unfortunate association with a particular language that won't be named. May I suggest Grace Hopper in her stead?

This is your answer to my "sausagefest" comment?
