[TUHS] In Memoriam: Edsger Dijkstra, and happy birthday Jon Postel!

[Dave Horsfall]

What a weird day...

We lost computer pioneer Edsger Dijkstra in 2002; he gave us ALGOL, 
structured programming, semaphores, and ranted against the GOTO statement 
(much to the distress of the Fortranites and their spaghetti coding). 
Oh, and a certain Prof. Goto used to complain that everybody wanted to 
eliminate him :-)

However, we gained Jon Postel in 1943; with umpteen RFCs to his name, he 
could pretty much be described as the Father of the Internet.
