Died 1954, from a cyanide-laced apple. The Father of Computer Science,
and breaker of Enigma.
Some think it was suicide (because of his homosexual tendencies), whilst
other believe it was murder.
Is there a computer programmer alive today who has not written a Turing
Machine to compute the GCD? Bloody hell, but it took a long piece of
tape...
In memory of two of my CompSci lecturers, Dr. Graham McMahon, and Dr.
John Lions...
