- davidw 19y agoThis guy doesn't seem to know much about HTML, and yet... I think I'd consider that he's a guy who does know a thing or two about what he's doing, in his areas of expertise: http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/experiments.html http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/experiments.html
