[lbo-talk] Andie reviews Les Misérables

[123hop at comcast.net]

Turing laid the foundations for modern computing. In that sense he was a giant compared to Swartz. But then he didn't die at 26 either. Who is to say what Swartz might have gone on to do. 

Yes, the analogy is not precise. It was the sense of loss I was trying to describe.

Nice. I see your point Andie - and agree the Turing analogy was a stretch. 
Even so, there is obviously more to get upset about here. Doug didn't post 
it here, but Susie Bright made the point that his emotional state (along 
with public support for him, if not his actions) might have been part of 
why the prosecution hounded him. Either way it is a great loss and it is 
understandable that people are upset.
