Dennis Ritchie

You idiots all crept out the woodwork because he died. I can't wait for you all to fuck off.

Dennis (who does not deserve the title ``dmr'') was a fucking worthless plagarist that hacked together a bunch of awful ideas and plagued us with almost the worst possible foundation for modern operating systems. We still haven't scraped the crap he produced off our systems but it's happening slowly, out of necessity. There's nothing to "remember" him for. If someone elses name featured where his did you'd all be bawwing about how wonderful a man he was instead. Face it, he did nothing of value and it's not a great loss to anyone except his close friends.

    I have a lot of fond memories of Dennis. I knew him all the way back in high school and (both being quite geeky) we hit it off quickly. He invited me to his house after school one day to show me his room. Dennis froze up for a second, then laughed. "Want to see something cool!?" He turned off the light, went to his room and came back with a blacklight. When he flipped it on the ENTIRE wall lit up. From nearly the ceiling to the small puddles on the floor, there were streaks of dried semen. There were HAND PRINTS and smear marks at some spots where it looked like he had tried to clean up some of it. Even the ceiling fan had spots that were lighting up. The computer keyboard lit up along with areas all over the desk and floor around it.

Are you so starved for attention you had to create a new thread for this? You already posted this. Regardless, the C language as well as The C Programming Language were remarkably well written.

He is far from a plagiarist since the language itself has many unique and useful features. In fact, Ritchie invented the entire concept of open systems. If anything all the modern programming languages which are influenced by C are the result of plagiarism.

it's a different guy posting it (kopipe)

I'm doing fopen("foo.txt", "r"), but it fails to open Foo.txt and foo.TXT. Why, mr. Ritchie?
