Donald Knuth On NPR
StratoFlyer writes "This morning, NPR is running an interview with Donald Knuth titled Donald Knuth, Founding Artist of Computer Science. The persistence of this man is extraordinary, if not heroic. RealPlayer and MediaPlayer feeds will be available at 10am EST, according to the NPR.org site." Indeed they are.
Is NPR some kind of drug? If so where can I get some? I wan't to be on NPR too.
Posting Realplayer feeds on Slashdot's main page. If they're available for more than 5 minutes, then that's heroic.

rediculous.
perhaps Mr. Knuth is a sandwich made on a long bun.

You mean he didn't piss and moan about it on Slashdot?
It's actually Donald Knuth on RPN. And he says it?s the greatest cause of brain damage in computing.

This is a great idea. Sometimes I imagine my ideal house, and the kitchen table would have a garbage receptacle right in the middle.
In my house, the garbage receptacles are seated around the perimeter of the kitchen table.
Look at those leftist NPR hacks, going and interviewing an actual computer scientist, rather than the business leaders, CEOs and MBAs who really make things happen. God, they just make me so mad, those commie Public Radio personalities with their "insightful" and "interesting" guests who think they're "oh, so smart" with their "science" and "knowledge" and "thoughtfulness" crap. Someone should shut them down! I want to hear a good old "Proud to be American" conservative commentator screaming at me and telling me how to think! God Bless Red America! Thank you and good night!
+1 Insightful, -1 Troll. What can I say, I'm an Insightful Troll.
Most of us struggle with basic assembly language. But Knuth goes and invents his own VM (MIX) and programs all of his examples to it. You just have to admire that.
This is my sig.
A dog right in the middle of the kitchen table? I'm not so sure about that.

If someone sends me a snail mail letter, the quality tends to be much higher than e-mail. Electronic media tends to make things so easy that folks don't put much forethought into their writings? Want proof? Look at my comment history :)

Guess they weren't MIT students then?

Ah, but my dear friend, you have failed to take into account the extra counter-advantage of milk! Dogs cannot provide this reliably, and even if they could one would probably be aesthetically averse to dunking their oreos in a nice cold glass of Dog Milk.
Yeah, but the KJV has more bass in the mix, so there! :)

I'm sure that he found it by walking the paths from Stanford to your address using Dijkstra's alogrithm to find the shortest route. And he did it without ever crossing the Koningsburg bridge!
