RIP Dennis!

And UNIX! What's bothering is that he made so much innovations in computer science compared to Steve Jobs, yet nobody knows about him...
RIP Dennis :'(

One of the many great injustices in the existance of humans, although I guess most sensible people are happier with the recognition from their peers then from the mindless masses...

I didn't know him either but it's always a tragedy to lose such a great contributor to things.

RIP

What's even funnier is that without UNIX, NeXTSTEP wouldn't have existed which means OS X wouldn't have been the same which means Steve Jobs' life wouldn't have been the same :P

As some friends said this day, the non specialised press talk about Steve Jobs like a "computer creators", "Father of everything" (or similar) altought he is just a commercial guy.
This world is unfortunately full of injustice...
