RIP, Dennis.

My condolences to family and friends.

cardoso.rafael:
Probably Dennis Ritchie was more relevant to the Computer Science than Steve Jobs.
There is no way to do a "direct comparison", but I can live without an Iphone or an Ipad.

However who can live, today, without World Wide Web? And how was possible to achieve WWW without using UNIX? Without using C?
Think about it.

Thanks Dennis!!
