Yes, it's named after Enrico Fermi, just like every other instance of 'Fermi' people have listed. He was an influential scientist.

Hello there fellow Michiganders. If only the 'Michigan Overclockers' thread was of a manageable size for the human brain to handle, we may actually be able to meet others from our area! I have seen at least 100 regular posters from our area.

Fermi Paradox + Seti GPU Crunching. Think about it.

I like the name Fermi.

I am biased though.

I am a student of physics and also of Italian descent so yeah I am a fan of Enrico Fermi.

Fermi is the name of one of a teacher I had back when I lived in Spain. he was teaching catalan. His breath smelled SO horribly I was having difficulties breathing while he was in front of me speaking... so yeah. I dont like the name Fermi AT ALL!
