I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

No idea. Considering she's holding rainbow flags I guess that yes, she's making fun of anti-gay protesters.

Could be these are trophies. :P

She is ugly and has a bad haircut so hard to tell - could be equally well a lesbian or a Christian fundamentalist.

YOu'd have to zoom in and read her badges to see what side she's on.

QuoteAccording to the Boston Phoenix:

This photograph was taken on March 29, 2004 when the Massachusetts Legislature voted to ban gay marriage and establish civil unions.

    [Signs] held by gay marriage supporters that [focused] on gays who've made history such as Leonardo da Vinci, Alan Turing, who invented the computer, and Katherine Lee Bates, who wrote "America the Beautiful. "The [tongue-in-cheek] sign focusing on Turning, for example, read: DESTROY THE COMPUTER! IT'S A HOMOSEXUAL INVENTION BY ALAN TURING. WHO CARES IF HE CRACKED THE GERMAN ENIGMA CODE AND WON WORLD WAR II. IT'S A HOMO'S DEVIL MACHINE.

    Tom Lang of Manchester by the Sea held one of the signs — which have taken some viewers a few moments to figure out. "We're trying to show how important gay people are to the American culture," Lang explained. "We're not mental. We're not immoral. But we're important to society and interwoven into the tapestry of America."

Some bloggers, like Bruce, Mark and PZ Myers, almost seem to take the sign seriously. Bruce is, after all, "speechless." Whereas she speaks clearly, making her sympathies abundantly clear by holding, immediately beneath the sign, what we discovered is an LBGT Rainbow Flag.

Turing, of course, did not invent the computer.

Even so, sometimes while blogging sleepily, very late at night, regardless of the sexuality of the various inventors involved in creating these devices ...

Well true...but his contributions to doing so were certainly closer to resembling "inventing the computer" than single handedly cracking the Enigma code and winning World War II.

After all the Poles cracked it before the war even started...but some of those Poles might have been gay lawyers or something.

Yeah, as far as I understand, Turing cracked one of the codes used by Enigma, and the Poles came up with the whole idea of how Enigma codes the messages.

That was my first thought as well. :lol:
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

IIRC, the Poles stole a copy of the original machine, and Turing figured out the algorithm to crack the messages after the Germans added another cypher wheel.  I could look it up, but that's my story and I am sticking to it!
