Dijkstra's Manuscripts Available Online

Posted by timothy on from the read-only dept.

Bodrius writes "Salon has a short but interesting article called GOTO considered joyful, about E. W. Dijkstra's manuscripts, as published by the University of Texas, and their bloggish nature. I'm not sure if the blog analogy is that accurate, but the articles are a must read for computer scientists and geeks in general." (Annoying but free click-through system for non-subscribers.)

    Pray tell exactly how many people of color are allowed in this community. Please name one if you can. Why are you so segregated? I am sick and tired of sickly pale unwashed hippie white boys contributing everything! You losers are racially insensitive and in dire need of some diversity training. Are you listening MALDA?

    In most civilized countries of which I know, fraud (i.e., falsifying information to get access to goods and/or services to which one is not normally entitled) is illegal.

  7. George W. Bush, president, dead at 84 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - president of the United States George W. Bush was found dead in his Washington command post this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to oil whoring. Truly an American icon.
