BBC News - Unix creator Dennis Ritchie dies aged 70

Very significant figure in the development of C and UNIX...

Sad panda face.

Ritchie is only known to the people who really are the source of geek culture.

Jobs is the god of those who think they're geeks as some passing fad and will move on to something else soon enough.

Still got my first ed of the K&R C manual. It's fucking nackered, held together by selotape and gaffa on the spine. Still the only book that I can turn to and not get angry when reading about batshit crazy pointer juggling.
