Feb 23, 2014 at 22:33 comment added haziz @Wilf Point taken. I also was somewhat dissapointed about his Bell Labs webpage ( unlike that for dmr ). It did seem more traditional though and probably done by him or on his behalf with his blessing. I did change the link to his Wikipedia page/biography. I am still very surprised by the negative votes on Ask Ubuntu. On unix.stackexchange.com dmr is the most popular community "ad" and Ken Thompson is not too far behind. I suspect people are expressing their gratitude to dmr for C and everything else he did, particularly after his passing.

Feb 23, 2014 at 18:21 comment added Wilf Also... something like this link could be more descriptive.
Dec 26, 2013 at 23:53 comment added Mateo Right, that is what you need to convey in this add... Right now it is just a face.
Dec 26, 2013 at 23:45 comment added haziz @Mateo Ken Thompson, the father of Unix. We would not be using Ubuntu if he had not written AT&T Unix in 1970!

Dec 26, 2013 at 14:52 comment added Mateo It is just a picture... and the rollover only has a non capitalized "ken" so... I recognize the other, but maybe a baseball card treatment would work better - with name and short what they are famous for.
Dec 26, 2013 at 3:18 comment added haziz @Mateo Image size fixed. I am surprised that the father of all Unix systems, including indirectly Linux, is not more popular here.
