Inventor of call waiting
The article is in Portuguese, so this is a very rough translation of a part of it.
Brazilian electrical engineer Nélio José Nicolai, inventer of Call Waiting, died at age 77 on October 11 of a cerebro-vascular accident. In recovery for two months, he died of pulmonary complications in Lago Norte, Brazil.
His daughter, the entrepreneur Michelle Nicolai, says that he was the most wonderful father in the world, never missing an opportunity to do good for people. Her father struggled greatly not only to invent things, but also serve his country. He dreamed to establish a technological school in which people could develop their creativity to the fullest. He had plenty of opportunities to leave Brazil for greater opportunities abroad, yet he remained in Brazil to make them beneficial to Brazil.
(I would not be surprised to see a longer article in the English-language Wikipedia soon).

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
