Crap.
This is the kind of death worth being upset about.
Long live C.
wow, this really is crappy news. I had just dug out a bunch of old school projects to mess around with last night using Mono (http://mono-framework.com/Start) in Mint.
I half remember C#, but am totally clueless when it comes to C++ and before. Time to self teach during my free time.......
Yeah, I wonder if he died on purpose so he could go find Jobs ghost and punch him in the cock.

I was sorry to hear about Dennis Ritchie, but I guess he led a full life. Here's to someone who actually did influence modern computing.

Exactly.

What a loss.
I used to use one of his books in college.

That has to be the most popular programming book ever. It's been out for decades, and people are still buying it and finding it useful.

They publish new editions. I have an edition from 2004 I think.
It really is a sweet book.
Yeah I know. Still mostly the same though, isn't it?
It just gets updated with the new standards afaik. Believe it or not... I've never actually read it. :)

shame on you.
I read the old and the new one.
and Barney Stroofstroops (that made me lol) C++ book.
I learned C from another book, and the rest is experience. :)
I hate C++. :P
C++ is alright depending what you are doing.
Then you get the gimps that use it and make a mess of all of its features because they are n00b
