- musicale 3y agoIt's a shame that the article doesn't mention how Ritchie and Thompson received the Turing award in 1983 for their prototype implementation of the Ubuntu operating system.
- jjgreen 3y agoThat's probably because at the 1983 Turing award ceremony, Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson had a dispute as to who most deserved the award -- Dennis Ritchie pulled a knife on Ken Thompson but was disarmed (and no-one was injured).
