I just thought this was interesting: it's the obituary of the man who wrote the program 'ping' in one night. He seemed like one hell of a programmer.

He died a decade ago, you know.

I would yea+ this for an interesting read if I was a member.
Someone who actually made a list of things to do in his life and accomplished so many of them that he was working on a new list. He sounded like someone who's deeply invested in the things they do. A good role model, its a shame he died young. Who knows what else he could have done for society with another 40 years of programming. |
He had the potential to become the Bill Gates of the internet, died at a young age.
Great role model, great productive individual and an all around great inspiration to anyone. Kinda 10 years late, but I'll yea+ for the hell of it. |
