[sdiy] RIP: Dennis Ritchie

[James Elliott]

:(

Dennis Ritchie died on 10/12. I'm surprised that that news has
 not made it to this list yet. I would wager everything that I own that 
all of us on this board use and benefit from the progeny of his genius 
on a regular basis.

He was a brilliant man. May he rest in peace!
