@mirabilos As you probably have noticed, it is also "just a face" on Unix&Linux meta, but there it is the most upvoted "ad" there. Why is there such a huge divide between the two communities?
@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.
Just making a distinction between my intro and the question. It is not just for code as you can see from the moderator questions thread. meta.askubuntu.com/questions/8477/…
