No matter how disgusting the notion of patron is to me, I feel Ada 
Lovelace would have to be considered too. She's not as freshly dead but 
is Den's father too. This is to put an end to the Jobs / Ritchie mise en

Reading openbsd source code is like reading eloquent poetry, and in itself 
is a fitting tribute to Dennis Ritchie. It is hard to imagine that one man 
developed a software language that is so versatile, and not only is not just 
a historical milestone, but after it's release by Dennis, and Brian 
Kernighan in 1978 is still a mainstay after over 30 years. Thankyou Dennis. 
I love C and you created something I love, and I don't think I'm alone. I 
think that there are few things in this world that are held in as high 
esteem as the C language. It is a privilege to be able to write it really, 
and now the creator of that privilege is on his way to heaven : )

Like Theo has said "The world doesn't live off jam and fancy perfumes - it
lives off bread and meat and potatoes." Den was a bread guy.

It's worth noting too, that Steve Jobs (deservedly) has quite the memorial
going on TV and the internet. But some of his biggest innovations (OS X,
NEXT, iOS) were UNIX based, and without Den, most people might not know
Steve Jobs.

Long live the bread meat and potatoes guys.

That's true. However, I don't think we should feel upset about it. I'm 
sure Mr Ritchie just wanted to contribute to the world, as many hackers 
of that time and he did it. This is his greatest achievement. Great 
people don't wait for an admiration. They just do whatever they can to 
make their dreams come true.
I truly admire all individuals and genuses who make our world even 
little less problematic.
