Early UNIX Contributor Robert Morris Dead at 78

What are the burial plans?

Conventional Burial?
Cremation?
Crygenic Preservation?

It would be only fitting for the dates on his headstone to be in seconds relative to the Unix epoch.

command line death

[jbeaupre]

God@heaven /usr/earth/RobertTappanMorris sudo mv soul.bin /heaven
password:
God@heaven /usr/earth/RobertTappanMorris rm -f *
God@heaven /usr/earth/RobertTappanMorris cd ..
God@heaven /usr/earth/ chmod 777 RobertTappanMorris

(later other users will move his empty directory to /usr/earth/cemetery)

Except he was an atheist.

God@heaven /usr/earth cd /heaven
God@heaven /heaven mv soul.bin /hell
God@heaven /heaven cd /hell
God@heaven /hell ./torture soul.bin -t fire

Buried in a crypt, of course.
