We need a photo of Bjarne Stroustrup. Noldoaran 21:36, Nov 29, 2003 (UTC)

I wonder if the one at http://parasol.tamu.edu/people/bs/ is public domain since it is on a publicly funded university's web server? Bevo 21:55, 29 Nov 2003 (UTC)

International Academy of Peace award

What's this award? I can find absolutely no references to it on the Web. Even the Academy itself is barely mentioned. Dr. Stroustrup does not list it on his own home page either. Harald Hansen 10:34, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't find anything substantial either (the only sites to mention this academy at all seem to be Wikipedia, Wikipedia "mirrors" and a right-wing blog). "Academy of Peace" brought up some National/US AoP hits, but adding "Stroustrup" removed all non-Wikipedia hits. It seems safe to say that either:
  1. The wrong "Academy of Peace" was named.
  2. This academy is no organization of any relevance.
  3. Stroustrup never received such an award.
In any of these cases, it's probably best to remove the reference to this alleged award for now (and I did so), until the claim has been corrected rsp. substantiated. Aragorn2 20:31, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
