I don't know if it's worth mentioning...
but it looks like Dennis Ritchie's page is down....
http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/
At least there is the wayback machine (

) but it just seems odd his page being lost in the void....

It seems like "http://www.cs.bell-labs.com" is down. Doesn't seem to be
DMR specific.
But it is cause to reflect on all that bell labs brought us. What a great
place! When I was going through grad school, bell labs was _the_ place to
be. I read their papers, watched what they did, and I knew I didn't have
a chance in hell of getting in there (my Dad did physics and a lot of those
guys did physics and while newtonian mechanics and I got along just fine,
it all went south after that.)
I can tell you that I really wanted to be there. I suspect there are many
here who feel the same way.

I tried this and it's a dead link.

Sadly, the Wayback Machine is now not serving up the page either:
"We're sorry, access to http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/ has been
blocked by the site owner via robots.txt."
Indeed, the host's robots.txt file has this entry in it toward the bottom:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
so I assume that the site has been re-scraped since coming back up,
and is now no longer made available by the Internet Archive, according
to their stated policy on robots.txt exclusions.
Just an oversight, I'm sure, but it shows off the fragility of
information on the web. You cannot trust the Internet Archive to make
information publicly available forever.
