     early days he used to hand-cut distribution tapes, often with a note
     that read "Love, ken". Old-timers still use his first name (sometimes

     third-person reference; it is widely understood (on Usenet, in
     particular) that without a last name `Ken' refers only to Ken Thompson.
     Similarly, Dennis without last name means Dennis Ritchie (and he is
     demigod,+{Unix" rel="nofollow">often known as dmr). See also demigod, {Unix. 2. A flaming user.
