bentley

James May showed up with a stock Bentley - a big fat comfortable car - and won the day.

Seriously the guy does not even have pubic hair yet and he's driving a custom bentley.

I also wish to be chauffeured to work in a Bentley and to have a private cessna on weekends.

The person that drives a Bentley convertible, or paints their Lamborghini matt black.

Programming Pearls and More Programming Pearls - I just love the way Jon Bentley writes.

Later, Bentley moved to Bell Laboratories.

I'm pretty sure I read both the Knuth, Bentley and Bloch notes about this at some point, and basically made the quote part of my beliefs system:-).

In the book Writing Efficient Programs, Bentley talks about teaching a class of experienced programmers (the class was about algorithms), in which he asked all of them to write a binary search algorithm.

Jon Bentley's "Bumper-Sticker Computer Science" pieces, collected in the Programming Pearls book seem a lot better to me.

A book by Jon Bentley [1], "Writing Efficient Programs", is very good for this area.

I did my final project on Parametric Structures that were also "intelligent" in Bentley Generative components.

Somewhat like the quote about literate programming: "Jon Bentley probably hit the nail on the head when he once was asked why literate programming hasn’t taken the whole world by storm.

S.: What I call the Bentley-Knuth problem (for lack of a better term) is also interesting.

The wifey can complain when she is driving her new Bentley.

I liked Bentley's Programming Pearls more though, as a book in a similar vein.
