RIP: Dennis Ritchie

If there is any death that should be mourned in the month of October, it is that of Dennis Ritchie.  I doubt that he would want to be evangelized (like another passing that occurred recently), but your respects we ask for.  If you have an iPhone or an iPad, iMac or iPod, his work is there.  Much of it is just the way he left it.  The difference is, he actually invented it.
