Good god. I had no idea about this. What a sad way to die for a man who starred in one of the greatest movies of the 80's.

Science fiction author; former BYTE columnist. During the mid-90s he was definitely enthusiastic about trying out new things that are dropped onto his desk. Remembered reading about him getting the first-generation Pentium-powered PCs and christened it the Pentafluge as it was lightning fast back in the day.

Three cheers to that great old man!

Ay. I liked him. Especially Footfall and Fallen Angels. (both collaborations with Niven, whose fan club Gainax ran in Nihon) RIP

Kyoko's Melons: Currently being completely rewritten, so... if anyone liked it so far, great. I did too. But... not enough. ;)

Comedian Ralphie May, dead at 45 from cardiac arrest.

He was really funny, but it's not totally unexpected considering the obesity...

No, that's Louie Anderson, he's still alive. The show was Life with Louie.

Wow, there are a lot of obese comedians.
