@dang, it would be really cool to see news.ycombinator.com/halloffame, or news.ycombinator.com/pioneers, or something like that as another item under news.ycombinator.com/lists for a list of these pioneers who get the black bar memorial. Learning more about the history of computers and the lesser-known pioneers who made it happen is always cool, though bittersweet when the black bar is up, of course.
