Richard Feynman and The Connection Machine: "One day when I was having lunch with Richard Feynman, I mentioned to him that I was planning to start a company to build a parallel computer with a million processors. His reaction was unequivocal, "That is positively the dopiest idea I ever heard." For Richard a crazy idea was an opportunity to either prove it wrong or prove it right. Either way, he was interested. By the end of lunch he had agreed to spend the summer working at the company."

Another rabble-rousing movie to go see, this one about Fox News. Included apparently is a Fox memo instructing: "Do not fall into the easy trap of mourning the loss of U.S. lives." The movie uses a crapload of copyrighted footage from Fox, and so is receiving legal (and light promotional) assistance from Lawrence Lessig, one of this space's minor heroes.
