Reading the title of the post, Dr. Stephen Hawking comes to mind.

Another despite being a legend is Atlas the titan.
His endurance inspires me to get through tough times.

Wozniak is cool and he actually stood against what iCrap nowadays is. Example: Back then, he fought for expansion slots unlike nowadays "Just buy the more expensive option".

I have many heroes.
Here are my top 5

Johannes Gutenberg - Without him a book was un-affordable. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Aaron Swartz - A genius and hacktivist. Murdered by the US government. You will be missed. Rose | [Rose]

Alan Turing - A great mind and treated so wrong by the UK government. Cry | :((

Steven Hawking - The genius of all mankind and a great sense of humor. Big Bang Theory is not as funny without you. Big Grin | :-D

Unknown - The inventor of the number zero, the basis of all computer code. Java | [Coffee]

Rear Admiral Grace Hopper - one of the greats of the early days of computing. Famed for her work on COBOL and CODASYL. Also well known for carrying a nanosecond in her handbag (a piece of wire about 12" long) to demonstrate the physical limits of computing as its length is the maximum distance that electromagnetic energy (e.g. light) can travel in a second.

If they had all climbed the highest mountain in the world outside the Himalyas, on their own, with a paralysed left arm, from a bike crash, yes!

He has also driven Triumph Bonnevilles around most of the known world. Some of his stories are incredible, really, he should write a book.
