- inactive, on 02/06/2009, -1/+10Very sad news for Netscape.
- chrisduser, on 02/06/2009, -0/+6I really hope there are major advances in medicine in the next 20 years, or being 40 is going to suck.

R.I.P - GeneralFailure0, on 02/06/2009, -0/+3I guess it's just not as important as the 'Woman Aims for World's Largest Breasts' story...
- djholybolt, on 02/09/2009, -0/+2only if you have Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease like Michael did.
- carterx, on 02/06/2009, -0/+2Not sure what his ties to Netscape were when he passed away as AOL owns it, but you would think it would be a top story on their site
http://netscape.aol.com/ - inactive, on 02/06/2009, -0/+2Michael was truly a revolutionary and an amazing man. It's sad to see someone die so young.
- masterkenobi, on 02/06/2009, -1/+3Despite my past nightmares of coding for Netscape 4, condolences to his family.

- Squaker, on 02/06/2009, -0/+2Michael J. Homer was a visionary man who will be sorely missed. This is no time for quips or pleasant memories of unrelated TV shows.
- sockpuppets, on 02/06/2009, -0/+2404: pulse not found?
Here's hoping God F5's him? - PrestonM, on 02/06/2009, -0/+2Pick up the book Netscape Time if you haven't read it. The early years of this company make an incredible story.
- sockpuppets, on 02/06/2009, -0/+2"The disease has also been shown to result from usage of HGH drawn from the pituitary glands of cadavers who died from Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease"
Blech. - ajUCI, on 02/06/2009, -0/+1mirror?
- postvivace, on 02/06/2009, -0/+1No, we won't. And you're an idiot for not understanding the basic principles of laissez-faire economics.
- TheAirLoom, on 02/06/2009, -1/+2Both digging and burying this just seems wrong. =(

- worldstoaster, on 02/06/2009, -0/+1He was only 50..... That's so sad and scary at the same time.
R.I.P. - inactive, on 02/07/2009, -0/+1Everyone is getting *****, how about you go whine on a blog or something. We all are having hard times.
- sockpuppets, on 02/06/2009, -0/+1The circle of life continues.
- Hashshashin, on 02/06/2009, -0/+1i noticed you last comment,and i replied to it, millerh1 . Read up. I'd hate for you to miss it

- Squaker, on 02/06/2009, -0/+1Go speed, Homer. God speed.
- ProfessorLX, on 02/06/2009, -2/+2Microsoft strikes again!
- moatsad67, on 03/02/2009, -0/+0hate to mention this to everyone, but i read some stats that stated the odds you will die today is greater than the odds you will live another day after you are 40 ......being 41 that kind of sucks....
- anaclagon, on 02/06/2009, -2/+2Bill Gates did it.
- inactive, on 02/06/2009, -2/+1Apparently the server was distraught and died too

- robEstyles, on 02/06/2009, -3/+0Damn it you beat me to it
- thaprinze, on 02/06/2009, -4/+1Hey, remember when Homer met the guy who thought he was Michael J in the psyco clinic? I don't know why that popped into my head just now.
- Stepoo, on 02/06/2009, -4/+1Too bad his first name wasn't Simpson
- inactive, on 02/06/2009, -5/+0D'oh!!!!
- thelocarb, on 02/06/2009, -5/+0He was old, it was time.
Wait. What? - firesphotons, on 02/06/2009, -10/+1Disagree, I'm going to lose a house I paid for but can't live in, I envy this guy...
