Great Computer Science Papers?
slevin writes "Recently I listened to a talk by Alan Kay who mentioned that many 'new' software ideas had already been discovered decades earlier by computer scientists - but 'nobody reads these great papers anymore.' Over the years I have had the opportunity to read some really great and thought-provoking academic papers in Computer Science and would like to read more, but there are just too many to sort through. I'm wondering what great or seminal papers others have encountered. Since Google has no answers, perhaps we can come up with a list for the rest of the world?"
I was writing this one great paper and the computer went, like, bloop bleep, and it was, like, gone. It was a really good paper. So I had to write it again, but it wasn't as good. It was a.....bummer.

You mean thoughs that make the most noize ? even if only 0.5% who read this site actualy take the time to lookup and follow leads that they are given here you could well reach far more people with a few choise words here than you do teaching
chalange us: Try throw up a few links/titles
rather than a quick rundown of areas that we are "not" going to look at

:p
Much as I hate to nitpick...
I'd go for pure volume on those papers - desert islands are probably short on toilet paper.
They also have romantic, swooning sex by page 70.

I'd like to join, but I can't afford it. I was a technology worker in the U.S., you see.
Not only that, Leonardo was also gay. I wonder if there's some connection between being exceptionally brilliant and a flaming ass-bandit.
