    printf("goodbye, Dennis");

    Who did more for computing: Steve Jobs or Dennis Ritchie?

    RIP both. Pax.

    Denise Rich is dead so it is thanks to him that I can study the language
    c php etc ... I find it sad.

    All credit to Dennis but if you look on YouTube and see the view counts, then
    his passing goes almost unnoticed.

    Meanwhile Steve Jobs made the front page on every news site.

    Dennis had more impact on me even though I came across Esquire's 2600 article
    before I learnt to fly and subsequently studied C and went into security
    work.

    Ken Thompson is about the same age as Dennis. He could be going sometime
    soon.

    Nice vid about Dennis. Ironically the Japan Prize (worth over half a million
    dollars) is only awarded to living persons. Dennis got it in April.

    You are going to start your Trolling as per your question and past history say's
    that I am right. None of your business what he flew. You claim you flew for the RAF
    until they grounded you for your own safety and that of others

    BTW: He flew an airplane. That is what he flew

    Keep him away if he's trolling. Tell him I flew various planes. Senecas,
    Navajo Panthers, that sort of thing. Don't encourage a conversation.
