  1. Re:Not Re:Bullshit on Jack Kirby Heirs Reclaim Marvel/Disney Rights · · Score: 1

    Ditko is still alive. Not sure about Don Heck's heirs.

  2. Not Re:Bullshit on Jack Kirby Heirs Reclaim Marvel/Disney Rights · · Score: 2, Informative

    Kirby was involved in the creation of both Spider-Man and Iron Man. Yes, Steve Ditko redesigned the character that Kirby created and drew the character's first stories. Don Heck drew the first story appearance of Iron Man because Jack couldn't draw everything. Kirby, interestingly enough, drew the covers for both first appearances of Spider-Man and Iron Man.

    This is all well documented with citations on wikipedia.

    Joe Simon also had a hand in creating Spider-Man. If you want to go back far enough, there's a pulp character called The Spider that one could argue was partial inspiration for Spider-Man.

    "Of course, you could use paper ... but then you take the risk that people will still be able to read 17 years into the future!"

    How would non-paper storage of the same data alleviate the need to be read by people?

    And don't go replying with "*wooosh*"! I get the joke, but the joke is flawed. If you don't understand the flaw, then *wooosh* back at ya!

  11. Killer App idea for the Roku box. on Roku Set-Top Box Gets A/V Aggregation Service · · Score: 1

    If only there was a way to take any video I can now view on my computer and display it on my TV with this nifty box.

    That would be a killer app. There's tons of video I now watch on my computer that I'd rather watch on my TV.

    This should be pretty simple to accomplish with their developer kit, right?

    I'm on a Mac if anyone wants me to beta test this.

  12. How about a new port of Mozilla for Mac OS X? on Classilla, a New Port of Mozilla To Mac OS 9 · · Score: 1

    Firefox doesn't work the same as Mozilla did. Some people miss Netscape and Mozilla. I can't even find a place to download the last version of Mozilla for Mac OS X.

    "there are 6.5 billion people in this world"

    Is this the kind of idiot we're handing out degrees to these days?

    Seems like every new thing is going to be commercially available in 5 years. Why can't we have the future now? Do I have to move to Japan?

  19. Re:Corporate culture on Shell Ditches Wind, Solar, and Hydro · · Score: 1
