[In case your disdain for anything but cuneiform on clay precludes even trying to read the forwarded message: Jeong Kim, President of Bell Labs, will host a celebration to honor the legacy of Dennis Ritchie on Friday morning, September 7, 2012, in Murray Hill, N.J. The event begins in the Arnold Auditorium at 9:30 a.m. EST, and will include several guest speakers, including members of the original UNIX® team as well as members of the Ritchie family, who will share their personal perspectives of Dennis and the impact he has made on society.]<br>
