As they say, opinions are a dime a dozen. The author would say that, if the Turing Machine was relevant to parallel programming, we would not have a parallel programming crisis and you would not be reading this and getting all twisted out of shape because your idol is not what he's made out to be.
- jacquesm 17y agoSince your posting history is intricately entwined with rebel science would it be fair to ask you if you are somehow affiliated ? So, then I could answer you like this: I don't have any idols, and Alan Turing wouldn't be one of them but I recognize the man for what he's done and I think that personal attacks have no place in a scientific argument. By twisting this into an argument about people the 'author' (you ?) displays a shocking lack of tact and detracts from his argument, assuming he has any to make. The 'parallel programming crisis', as you name it is a reality, there are plenty of people working hard on getting a handle on it, and somehow all of those that are actually productive manage to do that without resorting to personal attacks. Slinging mud at a famous person is one way to become notorious, but it is not a way to achieve anything. Achievement comes from simply going to work.
