I am a bit slow as I just found out that he died today. He died on the 8th. He was the developer of C, influenced the development of Multics and UNIX. The world of computing wouldn't be what is with out him, he developed stuff that was of actual value to the world of computing.

I don't know who he was. But I guess nobody cares like they did for Steve Jobs just because Steve Jobs was more famous. Sad.

Yeah, without him, there would be no Steve Jobs. OSX is UNIX-based. We pretty much owe everything to him.

It's a shame people don't care for the people that actually matter.
