I look forward to seeing articles on Moore's work; I did not have the pleasure of knowing him.

In the meantime, this headline had me a little confused, thinking of the chip designer Chuck Moore who was Forth's creator. It doesn't seem that this is the same Moore. Just FYI :)

Just to further make it easy to confuse the two, the Forth-inventor Chuck Moore is also involved in chip design these days (at Green Arrays - a company doing embedded heavily multi-core chips running a forth-like instruction set)

Thank you for that clarification - I was wondering if it was the same man as invented Forth.

I wondered if it was the person who coined Moore's law, he's not that either.

Intel co-founder Gordon is the Moore of Moore's Law.

This is probably not the right moment, but kinda funny that AMD has also an important person called Moore.

FWIW, Moore is the 9th[1] most common name in the United States.

I also wondered for a while (checking wikipedia and work...). May he rest in peace, even if from that little article I didn't get to know what advancements he was responsible of (and I'm now quite curious about)
