[Not sure whether this is more appropriate for COFF instead, so it's 
here; advice (apart from STFU) gratefully accepted.)

Sir Charles Antony Richard Hoare FRS FREng was born on this day in 1934; a 
computer pioneer (one of the greats) he gave us things like the quicksort 
algorithm (which became qsort() in Unix) and ALGOLW (a neat language).
