Wow. Really!? Only one person knows who DMR is?
Page after page of weeping for a douche nozzle like Steve Jobs yet nada for one of the guys responsible for everything we (Jobs included) take for granted about computing today?
Without Unix and C there would be no Steve Jobs or Bill Gates with legacy to leave. You wouldn't be reading this on the internet.

I didn't hear he was gone 'til just now...
I don't know what's an appropriate tribute. I guess I'll just put my K&R book out on my desk today.

Wow. I've taken a class or two in Unix, and I'm a firm believer that Linux is superior in every way to Windows, but if I've ever heard the man's name before, I have completely forgotten it.

Probably only those of us who learned C from Kernighan-Ritchie know who he is...

How about Robert W. Galvin aged 89? He took over Motorola from his father and was a key player.
