Re: YAC (Yet Another Challenge): Oldest Useful Computer Text

The oldest is a '78 copyrighted edition of K&R.
Sits on my desk and gets used most weeks.
Fundamentals of Interactive Computer Graphics. Foley & Van Dam. 1984
Lives in the bookcase behind me, and only gets opened occasionally, but it's still the best graphics algorithmm book around.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
