be done."

something looks weird to me. " For our boldest scientists and technological entrepreneurs, as well as for people like Kevin Mitnick,(i think "for" means "according to ",if not, please tell me what it means) "For" assigns ownership of the action to the people mention (I bought this gift "for" you). " No "is" is necessary.
- something looks weird to me.

- Not much in the way of explanation, but I hope it helps.
