Quote:
Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. -Edsger W. Dijkstra, computer scientist (11 May 1930-2002)
While many of us may immediately think of the "goto considered harmful" meme hearing his name, his boundary-crossing contributions to the evolution of modern programming as a discipline, and to many key aspects of algorithms, distributed computing, etc. are remarkable.

Happy Birthday, Edsger Rose | [Rose]

My favorite story about him is his invention of his shortest-path algorithm in twenty minutes while having coffee with his fiancée ... without paper and pencil.
«One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams.» Salvador Dali
