Welcome to data structures!

In this thread, we'll all introduce ourselves and practice using github issues. We'll be using github issues for all our in-class communication, so it's important that you understand how the system works. In particular, you need to understand github's markdown formatting syntax.

To practice, please reply to this post with:

  1. your name (including what you'd like me to call you if it's different than in sakai)
  2. your favorite food highlighted in bold and
  3. a quote you like placed inside a code block

Hi everyone,

Please call me Mike. I've been drinking a lot of cinnamon tea lately, and I'll give you two fun quotes:

UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity.
  --  Dennis Ritchie (co-inventer of UNIX)

If you have any trouble sounding condescending, find a UNIX user to show you how it's done.
  --  Scott Adams (Dilbert Cartoonist)

Hi my name is Nolan. I like toast. I like this quote:

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without
realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is
widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware
that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really
is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system
they use.

Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's
resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of
an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context
of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the
GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or
GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of
GNU/Linux.

Hello CS46! My name is Henry, and I like waffles (I eat one every day before CS46). Here is one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite books:

Through error you come to the truth! I am a man because I err!
You never reach any truth without making fourteen mistakes and very likely a hundred and fourteen. 
And a fine thing, too, in its way; but we can't even make mistakes on our own account! 
Talk nonsense, but talk your own nonsense, and I'll kiss you for it. 
To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's. 
In the first case you are a man, in the second you're no better than a bird.
-- Razumihin in Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
