He was inventor of the C Programming language and co inventor of Unix. His achievements spread further than any donation of money ever could.

Maybe if you are someone who even has a computer. :duh:

This is a great loss indeed, a true example for us all.

With the recent passing-aways of some large names in the tech world, it makes one wonder who it is that we will look to now.

news papers are for people who dont know the knews…because he did computer languages and unix i guess they assumes any1 who knows the language knows of him and would therefore hear of his death through some other educated means say…the internet. apple is used by general public so a bit larger scale and duller audience…

although i must admit i never knew who he was, nor did i hear of his death …except in this thread…so yeah…

and whilst that may be a true loss indeed, perhaps your previous post is a bit exaggerated if not bias? :redface:

but i can say fairly that i dont care for either of em particularly so…rip :garfield:
