People are comparing Turing, Shanon, Ritchie and likes with TORVALDS. I mean LOL.

I see what you mean: he has that added edge of inpeccible insults. The rest are definitely lacking by comparison.

All human, mostly water, checks out.

Torvalds probably is the best project manager on earth and also happens to be the architect of the most-used kernel worldwide.
He has almost nothing in common with the other people who all did completely different things wich are important for completely different reasons.

LoL. I wouldn’t compare Shannon with any of the rest.
AMTOC is on another level entirely.
