Was Philip Emeagwali responsible for the world's fastest computer or computation in 1989? Did he win the "Nobel Prize of computing"? Is he a "father of the Internet"? No!

The fastest performance of a computer application in 1989 was 6 billion floating point operations per second (6 Gflops), achieved by a team from Mobil and Thinking Machines Corp. on a 64,000-processor "Connection Machine" invented by Danny Hillis. That was almost double the 3.1 Gflops of Emeagwali's computation. Computing's Nobel Prize equivalent is the Turing Award, which Emeagwali has never won

Ah well,

So these things may be true afterall.

>Sigh<

ever wonder when it comes to black people it has to be a myth. do not be sucked into this myth. people knew about the stars before galileo and knew about pi before the greeka but they are not going around talking about white discovery myths.

Blacks in pre civil rights America were often tricked into signing away their inventions, or were all together robbed of them.

I don't know if this story you bring up is true or false, but the possibilities are endless with this particular issue. . .
