计算机过热，都闻到元器件的气味了，幸好早有先见，文件已安全转移。

关机状态下，持续按住这个按钮的话，就能测试CPU风扇，并观察到强风吹出的灰尘。刚才这样做了一下，能听到风扇转动的声音，却没有感觉到风。估计要打开机箱看看是不是积累絮状物了。

开机箱看到了这么一坨，旁边的7号电池是大小参照。但它出现的位置不足以解释过热程度，我要不要打开CPU散热器罩子看看？

四十分钟后……

上次清理，看到大坨絮状物就满意了。今天头一回打开CPU上方的散热器，这才知道从来看到的都只是冰山一角。好恶心又好爽，感觉身体被掏空……清理这一回，估计这机器可以再活五百年。

阿兰·图灵

刚刚看到维基百科上出现了这条新闻：“2013年12月24日，英国司法部长宣布英国女王伊丽莎白二世赦免上世纪50年代因同性恋行为被定罪的英国著名数学家、密码学家、计算机科学之父阿兰·图灵。”

啊，这可真是太傲慢了。眼前的问题，不是英国该不该赦免图灵，而是图灵该不该赦免英国。

Alan Turing, code-breaker castrated for homosexuality,
receives royal pardon

(CNN) — Alan Turing, a British code-breaker during World War II who was later subjected to chemical castration for homosexual activity, has received a royal pardon nearly 60 years after he committed suicide.

Turing was best known for developing the Bombe, a code-breaking machine that deciphered messages encoded by German machines. His work is considered by many to have saved thousands of lives and helped change the course of the war.

“Dr. Turing deserves to be remembered and recognized for his fantastic contribution to the war effort and his legacy to science,” British Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said in a statement Tuesday. “A pardon from the Queen is a fitting tribute to an exceptional man.”

Turing’s castration in 1952 — after he was convicted of homosexual activity, which was illegal at the time — is “a sentence we would now consider unjust and discriminatory and which has now been repealed,” Grayling said.

Two years after the castration, which Turing chose to avoid a custodial sentence, he ended his life at the age of 41 by eating an apple laced with cyanide.

Supporters have long campaigned for Turing to receive greater recognition for his work and official acknowledgment that his punishment was wrong.

An online petition in 2009 that drew tens of thousands of signatures succeeded in getting an apology from then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown for Turing’s treatment by the justice system in the 1950s. Brown described the Turing sentence as “appalling.”

The German messages that Turing cracked at the British government’s code-breaking headquarters in Bletchley Park provided the Allies with crucial information. The German messages were encoded by Enigma machines, which Adolf Hitler’s military believed made its communications impenetrable.

Turing was considered a mathematical genius.

In 1937 he published a paper introducing an idea that came to be known as the Turing machine, which is considered to have formed the basis of modern computing. This was a hypothetical device that could come up with a solution to any problem that is computable.

“Alan Turing was a remarkable man who played a key role in saving this country in World War II by cracking the German enigma code,” British Prime Minister David Cameron said. “His action saved countless lives. He also left a remarkable national legacy through his substantial scientific achievements, often being referred to as the ‘father of modern computing.'”

The prestigious A.M. Turing Award — sometimes called the “Nobel Prize” of Computing — was named after Turing.

The pardon, under the Royal Prerogative of Mercy, comes into effect Tuesday, the British Ministry of Justice said.

一个同事抱着个键盘出公司，被两个保安追回来，要她开出门条。保安大概以为键盘就是计算机，看我们每天在键盘上编程，是多么热火朝天啊。另外我知道，当时她包里还装了个价值五千块的Mac Mini台式机呢。
