Britain posthumous apology to Alan Turing wasn't enough

Outside of the wonderful debates we techies would have on - whether or not - Mr Turing saw the internet was coming; nobody can legitimately debate the impact Alan Turing had on this world.



Britan convicted the man into castrating himself; which is likely why a suicide is considered plausible.

As for me, the jury is still out on "suicide".

We're there patents? If so, where are they? If not - why?

Of issue of Britain apologizing 50 years later -Fruk Britain!

Question is, if the dead tyrants were still alive, today - would they have permitted the apology?

Who knows what great things he could have done had he lived, unmolested?

The saddest words are these: What might have been...
