Wow. The Acme Company has come a long way since their days of supplying Wiley Coyote with his mail-order gadgets.
No jokes please.....the man died a hero.
Acme Company OMG what happen from Willie E Coyote to Al Quada
YIKES
I didn't know that same Israelis was IDF SOLDIER
OH MAN
Actually the company is Akamai not Acme. Ironically if not for Akamai's website hosting and caching software, the Internet might have crashed on September 11, 2001.
Akamai Remembers Danny Lewin
On September 11, 2001, Akamai lost Danny Lewin aboard the American Airlines flight that crashed into the World Trade Center in New York. Even as the years pass by, Danny's spirit and energy remains strong in all of us at Akamai. His vision continues to guide us as we carry on his commitment to Akamai's success.About Danny
First and foremost, Danny was known for his brilliance. He published and presented several breakthrough papers at top computer science conferences and received several awards, including the 1998 Morris Joseph Lewin Award for Best Masterworks Thesis Presentation at MIT. His master's thesis included some of the fundamental algorithms that make up the core of Akamai's services. He was a Ph.D. candidate in the Algorithms group at MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science.
Previously, Danny worked at IBM's research laboratory in Haifa, Israel, where he was a full-time research fellow and project leader while simultaneously completing two undergraduate degrees at the Technion, Israel's premier technology university. In 1995, Technion named him the year's Outstanding Student in Computer Engineering. At IBM, he was responsible for the development and support of the company's Genesys system, a processor verification tool that is used widely within IBM and in other companies such as AMD and SGS Thompson.
On a personal note, he had a deep affinity for speed and freedom, maintaining an avid interest in motorcycles, fast cars, and skiing. Everyone who knew Danny knew a man who was always on the go, deeply driven, and incredibly competitive. He inspired everyone around him to work at their very best, never taking no for an answer, and calling anything that got in his way obstreperous, his most favorite word.
Born in Denver, Colo., and raised in Jerusalem, Danny was an officer in the Israel Defense Forces, having served in the country's military for more than four years. He received a bachelor of arts and of science, summa cum laude, from Technion and a master's degree from MIT.
Danny was 31 years old and is survived by his wife and two sons.
I think I'm going to have to read the whole report..
Akamai, not Acme. What a silly mistake to make in a newspaper article. Akamai is a well-known company.
Halavi that Daniel was not able to stop them. Would to G-d that they did not have that 3rd terrorist behind him.
Sorry -- I didn't see your post until after I was done posting myself. You have to be fast on FR!
I guess he did not get the orders from the Mossad that the attacks were going to take place (sarcasm off).
More than that - Sayeret Matkal members are the cream of the crop. Think Delta Force or SEALS.
I'd love to stuff that 585 page report down the gullet of some of the perfumed Saudi princes who spread those lies about the Mossad.
Daniel Levin died a hero...God bless you, Mr Levin.
Wow, a genuine hero!
Levin was the first man to die on 9/11.... they finally identified a few tiny bits of his remains from the rubble just days ago.
If you can arrange it I will hold them down. I cannot think of people I hold in lower esteem than the Saudi royal family. When I hear of a battle between the royals and Al Queada I am almost hoping Al Queada won.
Then we'd have an excuse to nuke the whole country except for the refineries and pipelines.
So they are Green Berets of Israel
I SEEE
Alright rack ittt
I wonder if the Saudis wanted to pull such an attack again, what city they would be flying out of in Saudi Arabia...you know that city the US promised Israel its fighter planes won't be moved to, but in the end, let it go.
