Dennis Ritchie died over the weekend. He was most notable for being the the co-creator of UNIX and C.
Fuck Steve Jobs, his ideas over the past decade have not been invoative, and he seemed to be a pompus asshole, as most mac users are. So yeah…the world lost somebody great. :(
So you're using the fact that people are using Job's death to amplify his accomplishments as an excuse to justify amplifying his shortcomings?
What's the point in quibbling over his legacy? It is what it is, he did what he did, and whether you or anyone else thinks history will be remembering him correctly, he'll still be dead. (and I doubt the above is doing what I want to say justice, but I feel spending any more time typing this comment would be a bit of a waste of time to be frank…I've already spent like 10 minutes sitting here lol)…also, relating the slander of one dead man to the news of the death of another by juxtaposing the two sentences kinda rubs me the wrong way. Jus' sayin.ah I see what you are arguing then. And I meant to say that you cant 'love or hate' them for anything more that they do when they die.
Yes I agree with your argument, but I also do think that he did have big accomplishments by being influential. But without the person to help "put 2 and 2 together" some things may have never happened. So in that respect I dont think that he is not worth acknowledgement of, but yes some people are exaggerating.But really I think most people were over it after a few days.perhaps my lack of willingness to quibble over things is why I tend to find so many coding errors at runtime? lolololol

^adding on to this comment, the little dog laughed to see such fun. Also, the dish ran away with the spoon.
Just adding to this, to say that the father of Artificial Intellegence died as well:
John McCarthy DiedI think that McCarthy was credited in Quake III, and I just got that reference yesterday…
No I just made a total spoon, that by the farthest stretch had anything to do with QIII.
