Damn:(
Man I remember at Uni learning the original K&R C, none of this new-fangle ANSI rubbish xD
But Kernigan and Ritchie were gods in computer science circles. Although many a student swore at the unintuitive Unix command shell, especially if you'd been brought up on VAX/VMS, lol. That was back in about 1990 I guess.
Now he's gone... makes me feel old. RIP.

It just sucks that I had to find out by a small area of news links. Steve Jobs got a spotlight, why couldn't Dennis?
Bah.
