Word. Though you don't see it in the news like you did with Jobs. Just goes to show...

That's a real shame. His work laid foundations for many things that affect my daily working life in a way far more than Steve Jobs did.
(although I still disagree with the one true brace style...)

This is wrong. Very wrong. Dennis Ritchie dies and no one notices; Jobs dies and everyone becomes freakin' iSad.

I burned my coffee-stained K&R in his honour and bought a new one.

I'm ashamed to say I didn't know who the man was. If I had come across his name, which is likely, it didn't stick for long. Shame, catching up now looks like dude was kind of a big deal.

Is it just me, or does he look exactly like an older Simon Pegg?
Also, RIP etc.

Ritchie is one of the most influential men in computing history. It's a damn shame he's not being recognized for it in the news.

He was featured quite prominently on the BBC website, relatively speaking.
