He died of cancer on 6 August 2002. May he rest in peace, and never see a GOTO!

A great man in the field of computing has left us. May we carry on his legacy with pride.
I've read about this man's other work. But there's one thing that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere dedinitively, so I don't know whether it's no the case or it's so blantly obvious they figure you'll assume. Was this the Dijkstra, of shortest-path algorithms fame?

You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

"If 10 years from now, when you are doing something quick and dirty, you suddenly visualize that I am looking over your shoulders and say to yourself, 'Dijkstra would not have liked this,' well, that would be enough immortality for me." -- Edsger W. Dijkstra, 1930-2002
