Edsger W.Dijkstra - How do we tell truths that mig...
Maybe I'm just a greybeard, but I assumed that most of the folks around here know who Dijkstra is, and remember when he died about ten years back.
Now, you pesky kids, get off of my lawn.

Dijkstra died the year I was entering 8th grade, a few years before I began experimenting with HTML. I'm now a 4th-year university student.
I'm so sorry, sir. I'll get off immediately.

I started programming in basic the year he died, and then Java the year after. I recall a survey that would put me around the middle, maybe (hopefully) the lower end, of the age group of people that read this site (24).
