Quote:
1- Most innovative programmer of the last century ?
I'm not really in a position to judge that ... I don't have a clue of most people's programming work! (Never seen a like of code by Dennis Ritchie for example).
But for me personally? My dad. Because he first taught me how to program.

Quote:
2- Most enjoyable piece of software you happen to be using ?
All software sucks, except the software that I wrote (and you probably have a different opinion about my software).

Quote:
3- Most important political figure of the new century ?
Osama Bin Laden probably shaped the political landscape more than any other person.

Quote:
4- Most interesting website ?
Wikipedia. In spite of it's flaws (and there are many!)

Quote:
5- Most convincing (or persuading ! ) OS you ever used :
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, both have different strengths/weaknesses.

Quote:
6- Most convincing programming language -as to your personal needs- ?
Mostly Python. But this is subject to change as I try and pick up more languages (Currently learning Haskell).

Quote:
7- Most detrimental human behavior ?
Discussing human nature ("the good, the bad, and the ugly" of it ) is beyond the scope of this website...
