It has been a bad month for the giant names of computing: first Steve Jobs, and today Dennis Ritchie. Even well-educated friends who ought to know better have been muttering superstitious nonsense about these things coming in threes. I hope not.

Don't know who Ritchie is? Don't have a copy of K&R on your shelf? So much of what you use every day
