Or compare the public reaction of the death of Steve Jobs vs. the death of David Ritchie


You mean Dennis Ritchie...

BTW, I posted news about his death (I heard of it a week after he died, go figure) on facebook. Its sad that one person replied with RIP Mr. Ritchie and a "like". I was pleased though.

That's the way the world turns.


Yep, same with John McCarthy, who died around the same time.


The irony of you getting Dennis Ritchie's name wrong is strong...
