Programming Software Development by |-|x Let me preface this by saying; who wouldn't want to work at Google?

South Africa does have an IT industry, but the allure of working abroad is strong. It's also great to see what's out there, particularly IT business hubs such as Silicon Valley.

That's my personal opinion. Re: Alan Turing, father of computer science, finally gets royal pardon Programming Computer Science by happygeek No, homosexual activity is not still prohibited by law in the UK... Was that really a serious question, by the way? Re: Alan Turing, father of computer science, finally gets royal pardon Programming Computer Science by Learner010 > Was that really a serious question i read about homosexual relationship and found that still there are some countries which are against of it. that's why i asked for UK. you can read articles about homosexuality in india. just google it.

With some explanations by Petzold this paper … Re: Alan Turing, father of computer science, finally gets royal pardon Programming Computer Science by happygeek Agreed, I was pondering just what he may have achieved if he had lived a full life.

I admire this man for what he did professionally (nice Wikipedia link). Shame on England for taking so long to correct the grave injustice they were responsible for. Thanks for sharing!!! Re: Alan Turing, father of computer science, finally gets royal pardon Programming Computer Science by humorousone It's a pity we don't hold this guy as a national treasure. He's one of the fundamental creators of modern computing, and yet we can't even seem to properly fund the museum that was created in memorial of him.

That said, even today people who don't have the politically correct sexual orientation are considered security risks. The problem is that there is still a stigma attached to homosexuality.
