CaptainKangaroo:
Remember Alan Turing, the government guy who got karate-chopped by Faye? Prepare to meet the real Alan Turing! A British code-breaker during World War Two, he played an integral role in breaking the Nazi "Shark" cipher that U-Boats used during the Battle of the Atlantic. For those who like military history, check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/war/wwtwo/launch_gms_battle_atlantic.shtml Under the Western Approaches Tactical Unit level, Alan Turing is mentioned in the Morse Code section. Jeph, does code-cracking Alan Turing have anything to do with karate-chopped Alan Turing?

blindsuperhero:
omg and he invented the computer. yeah.

Ozymandias:
Well duuuuh...

Any respectable computer geek has at least heard of the Turing Test for AI.

torg:
Alan Turing is even more famous for introducing the Turing machine and the Turing test, which both have great importance in computer science.
