Subject: [NF] RIP Dennis Ritchie

Hi All,

Just heard this sad news.

Dennis Ritchie, inventor of the C programming language and Unix
co-creator passed away on the 8th of October.

C had a huge influence in program language design and is still widely
used today.
Unix of course is also very influential in OS design, spawning many
clones such as Linux, BSD, etc.

>From a personal level, C had a big influence on the way I program
today.
I've written many games, drivers and emulators in C, on at least 5
different platforms.

Paul
