9/10. Strange, since I got at least 3 wrong.
Did you miss Bertrand Meyer?
I got that one, but only because I've seen this before, a long long time ago, and because he was first.

I figured since this is sorta a challenge, it would mean that people who look like programmers would be killers, and vice verse :P So that's what I did, i was wrong, except for 4 of them  :lol: 

Anyhow, they were guesses too :P

Not really... It's actually the opposite, hence my good score. ;)

Minsc, you sure you got 3 wrong?  There was one I remember which could have gone to both...

No, I'm not sure. At least, not anymore. Shoulda asked me a few hours ago. ;)

But I'm sure I got more than one wrong.

actually, if you read it carefully, it said that he was a programmer, not a programming language inventor, therefore, it could only have gone the serial killer way :D

I got 9/10 but I guessed on 8 of them. I'm just lucky :D

I didn't guess on the Scheme guy, because I recongized him from the MIT lecture tapes.

And I guessed "Programmer" on one of them because I was sure it was RMS. It wasn't, but it was a programmer, so I got it right :P Lucky.

Because they are sterotypical images of hackers while all programmers are not hackers, but I think I could say most programmers HAVE attempted hacking at some point or other :)

Or maybe because they are always looking at the computers, causing their eyes to get sucked inside the socket, making it darker, hence making them look evil-er. Also, whenever they think, they usually tend to scratch their head, moving the position of their hairstyle. Dark eyes + out-of-style-hair = making look more evil.
