[edit] Changed link to Turing paper
The old link to Reflections on Trusting Trust now points to a list of classic computer science titles. I replaced it with the document's DOI.

[edit] Anachronistic
I swear: the junkie who wrote this was on drugs. Ken and dmr didn't 'take' anything to Bell Labs. Read dmr's bio - his father worked for Bell Labs and he came straight from Harvard.
It gets worse: for Multics was used not outside Bell Labs but inside. Bell Labs being one of three major locations for this 'GE' project.
Dennis didn't not come to Bell Labs until years after Ken.
Seriously: where is the responsibility? This article is a POS and its author should be banned. I'd consider gutting the entire thing but in such case there'd be nothing about this stellar and important individual. I'd consider the rewriting myself but just reflecting on what kind of pinhead came up with this sophomoric stunt makes my physically nauseated.(This comment added by 90.5.134.228 · 2007-06-25T15:31:58)
- I don't understand the drama. If there are misstatements in the article, please fix them, and document them with references. —johndburger 02:31, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Trojan Horse
Did he ever get any backlash for basically creating the Trojans that are the bane of most computer owners' existence? They are really evilly genius but nonetheless if doesn't make him any less of an a-hole for making them... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.160.222.253 (talk) 20:52, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
