LOL
Sorry.. enlighten me?
Dennis Ritchie was one of the inventors of the C programming language
and of UNIX. Also, he wrote the "C bible" , the book "The C Programming
Language" (together with Kerninghan - the book is colloquially known as
"the K&R").
Like e.g. John Bardeen, Ritchie is one of those guys that nobody knows,
but whose inventions were key enablers for a lot of stuff - including
the stuff Steve Jobs is famous for.
