He is in one league with Einstein. Thank you for helping humanity.

He was one of the greatest. His books on UNIX and C language were my Bibles for years.

Rest in peace, Mr.Ritchie, we would remember you and your deeds.

... Yes, a true "Innovator",..., he was.

Farewell Mr Ritchie, and thanks for all the code... /salute

[sarcasm]who was the other pioneer that passed away?? [/sarcasm]

on a serious note this guy WAS truly a pioneer and hugely influential in the IT but he didn't have a company producing shiny devises neither a "religious cult" following him so this -sadly- will only be published in IT related media.

o tempora o mores
