Sorry to see him go...  But at my age, I've become accustomed to someone familiar and/or admired going away every week.

Maybe my several copies of K&R will become valuable...

I was talking with the good folks in #pclinuxos on irc about how Dennis Richie's passing ,really should have a higher level of recognition, without him there would be a very different computer/IT landscape, possibly one that was baron.

This man was a visionary and a true innovator, of whom in one way or another every computer user is indebted to.

We often focus on trying to change an event or circumstance,
when we really need to change the habits that caused it.
