James_A Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 As one blog at CNN put it -- without Dennis Ritchie you might not be reading this. He was far too gracious and humble to have ever said so himself, but dmr had a much greater claim to have changed the world than most others.

0_0 Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 I don't know, it seems he was from an era where they worked hard at creating useful stuff. The guys now, though they do create useful stuff, they also work equally hard at creating a persona. Down with celebrity, prefer humility.
