Dennis was a giant in our industry. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Dennis Ritchie, Creator of UNIX and C, Dead at 70 Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2011 21:39:55 -0400 From: Jon "maddog" Hall <maddog at li.org> Reply-To: maddog at li.org Organization: Linux International To: redwards at golgotha.net CC: gnhlug-discuss at mail.gnhlug.org Wikipedia has his death listed as December 9th, with attribution to an announcement made by Rob Pike via Google +.
