wow, RIP :(

actually UNIX, not Linux, am I right OP?

Thanks for saying... I didn't know who this man was; I thought the meme was just a pic of some random university proffessor. I agree, sounds like he deserves the acknowledgement that Jobs got... But I also think Jobs did a great deal for the image of technology

@Anonymous: Linux is built upon UNIX.

@Anonymous: "He put the C in coffin." is the best I can come up with.

@Anonymous: >implying you're not trolling
>IMPLYING HIM AND JOBS ARE EVEN IN THE SAME BALLPARK

@blkmrkt: This isn't 4chan doncha know?!

@Schefar: You make the mistake I've seen so much lately in all the discussion of Steve Jobs of thinking innovation means invention. It doesn't. Look it up. Steve Jobs pretty much excelled at innovation, though he was not at all an inventor. Sorry to get all grammar Nazi, but seeing this error repeated soooo many times over the past few weeks has really been hitting my berserk button.

At any rate, I was much more of a Ritchie fan than a Jobs fan, as I feel Ritchie's contributions were much more fundamental and important to the computing world than Jobs'. I am sad that Ritchie's death has gotten such little attention while Jobs got an absurd amount of attention. So I salute the effort to spread the word about Ritchie, which in the end is far more important than a minor grammatical error, thanks for that.

@Schefar: Not to mention iOS, Android OS, and the Mac operating systems are all derivatives of UNIX.

@nebetsu: That's a lie.

@Anonymous: How so? iOS and the Mac OS are derivatives of UNIX and the Android OS is Linux.

@djbitblit: I know that. Maybe "derivative" was a poor choice of wording there. Point being: Everyone's all upset about Steve Jobs' death, but when the guy who laid the foundation for all of Jobs' current products dies, no one cares.

@nebetsu: Agreed. Dennis Ritchie is a hacking demigod. Like all true hackers he made his contributions to the world for the sake of contributing, not to make money. Only nerds will be upset. What Jobs did was make UNIX accessible to the masses. The masses will be upset.

@nebetsu: That's like saying Newton was cool and we should mourn his death, but we shouldn't care about him as much as God because God made physics and Newton wouldn't have discovered anything if God hadn't made it first.

@the_ed: I say Nyanix https://canv.as/p/czh7h

I couldn't care less.

@Anonymous: Wtf? Why do you expect someone to write this up for you? Were you mistreated as a child?

@Anonymous: I was :/

I'm not saying that this man was NOT an innovator. HE WAS. But so was steve. Everyone, stop flipping SHIT!

@Anonymous: same here man. I know of similar feels

Steve Jobs was a business manager who stole ideas and branded them under the iLogo mantra. Besides creating calligraphy for the prototypes of Mac, he made no tangible contributions to technology. As CEO, he simply recruited talented artists and engineers to create products that he could only imagine. He makes no pretext about his actions, having once said, "We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas."

@blkmrkt: OK

If only I had a fuck to give... And by that, I mean you deserve a "FUCK YEAH"
