| While I generally share your views on compression-related topics,

| year. Bill is becoming a philanthropist -- maybe he's finally feeling
| some guilt.

| Thomas Edison *did* invent things, he didn't just steal constantly.
| Edison was doing X-Ray work that was decades ahead of everyone else,

| because of them, and Edison's guilt over the tragedy prevented him

| where we are now in terms of medical imaging.)

| characters he is credited for?
"Spider-Man" = Rip-off of "The Silver Spider"
"Captain America" = Rip-off of "The Shield" (even down to the damn
shield at first)
You ever notice how Stan never gives any breath to Steve Ditko, heck he
never even shared a dime of his millions in lawsuit for the "Spider-Man"
movie with any of the artists or writers of "Spider-Man".
Steve Ballmer is a clumsy incompetent thug. Windows Vista is a
testament to how much of a paranoid control freak Ballmer is.
