Adorable how loser is screeching for attention. :)
Does that make any sense to you?
Alan Turning broke the Enigma machine code, effectively weakening the Germany U-Boats advances and attacks.
He was a hero? Not so fast.
Wait there's more! This is his boyfriend.
A hero yet? Let's wait and see.
Thousands of people have come together to demand justice for Alan Turing and recognition of the appalling way he was treated. While Turing was dealt with under the law of the time and we can't put the clock back, his treatment was of course utterly unfair and I am pleased to have the chance to say how deeply sorry I and we all are for what happened to him ... So on behalf of the British government, and all those who live freely thanks to Alan's work I am very proud to say: we're sorry, you deserved so much better.
A little too late. The damage has already been done.
We ask the HM Government to grant a pardon to Alan Turing for the conviction of "gross indecency". In 1952, he was convicted of "gross indecency" with another man and was forced to undergo so-called "organo-therapy"—chemical castration.
I guess it doesn't matter what he did.
A posthumous pardon was not considered appropriate as Alan Turing was properly convicted of what at the time was a criminal offence. He would have known that his offence was against the law and that he would be prosecuted. It is tragic that Alan Turing was convicted of an offence that now seems both cruel and absurd—particularly poignant given his outstanding contribution to the war effort. However, the law at the time required a prosecution and, as such, long-standing policy has been to accept that such convictions took place and, rather than trying to alter the historical context and to put right what cannot be put right, ensure instead that we never again return to those times.
Yeah yeah too bad that he was gay and he HAD to hide and follow the law.
He will always be our hero.
Watch the movie "The Imitation Game". It's an awesome movie.
Crypto security and the concept of computers we have today were based on people like him.
