Nobody stays dead in comic books. Not even Uncle Ben is sacred these days.
He'll be back in time for an extra special issue when sales flag. I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed. One day they're going to ban them.
I'll hold you to that, because I can't imagine a Marvel film without a cameo by Stan.

Speaking of which, I wonder if he'd filmed a cameo for Avengers 4?
I know he filmed a whole bunch of cameo scenes back-to-back so they could be inserted into various Marvel movies, but I don't know if they've already been used or if there are still some in the queue.

RIP Bill Godbout, who amongst other things co-created with George Morrow the S-100 data bus (which made personal computers possible) and sold surplus hardware at discounted rates to computer hobbyists in the 1970s and 1980s (which made designing the Altair, Apple I, and other computers of that vintage possible).
His family has been left with nothing - he lived in Concow, and was unable to escape from the Camp Fire. GoFundMe page to help his next-of-kin - if everybody who has a home computer kicks in a dollar or two in thanks to the man who supported the people who created the earliest home computers, well...

RIP John Wharton, another of the early home-computing pioneers.
Quote:Wharton was the architect of the machine-language instruction set of the Intel 8051 micro-controller, one of the most widely used (for a time, the most widely used) chip in history (PDF). In a 1999 profile, The New York Times described him as "a Zelig-like presence in Silicon Valley for more than two decades", detailing his skill at reverse engineering. Quote:Wharton made a discovery in the document Gates had left behind. It was the technical reference for an Intel-compatible operating system developed and sold with a plug-in board. In July 1980, Gates' Microsoft bought the one-man outfit who sold it without revealing its purpose: the default operating system for the new IBM PC.

95-year-old Harry Leslie Smith said a year ago that he'd 'drop dead' before he stops fighting for equality.
He stopped fighting for equality this morning.

Correction.
He dropped dead. Whether or not he's still fighting for equality is uncertain.
So very true.
