Default Rest in Peace, Mr. Ritchie

Steve Jobs was nothing, Bill Gates is nothing, Dennis Richie was a god.
I, at one time, thought God came to Richie (and his partner Mr.
Kernighan) after becoming frustrated with all the screwed up code being
written at the time, and wrote C and Unix for these two. Nothing much
has occurred to change those thoughts.

Gates and Job's were marketers that ripped off the public. Gates
eliminated competition as much as possible and uses his monopoly to
gouge the public with 30% profit margins. Jobs rips his customers off
with a 40% profit margin. XOM rips us off with a 10% profit margin.

Almost no one knows who Richie and Kernighan are, quite normal for a
screwed up society. God must have loved this guy to write his code for
him, so I'm sure he is resting in peace. Gates and Jobs on the other hand...
