[edit] CompSci and Physics jokes

Cohen is likely responsible for some of the CompSci and Physics jokes on Futurama. I saw this on an interview linked by Slashdot maybe 2 months ago. Calyth 21:55, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Other David S. Cohen

David S. Cohen was a writer for DS9. The redirect to this page should be removed. Tough Little Ship 18:55, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

David S. Cohen is David X. Cohen's real name, which he used while a writer for The Simpsons. He used the X when we became an executive producer on Futurama because there was someone else in one of the unions called David S. Cohen. So if you want to remove the redirect you should replace it with a disambiguation page pointing to David X. Cohen and whomever else there with the name David S. Cohen.

[edit] CopyRight Infringment?

i have noticed this is almost word for word from http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0169326/bio

Edit: I Added the futurama section and two pictures ( originally none)

[edit] middle name

The article claims he changes his middle initial to X, but does not mention a middle name. If his middle name is X, it should not be followed by a period.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Johnnicholson3 (talk • contribs).

David X. Cohen (and everybody else) writes it with a period. Technically it's both an initial and a middle name.--Steven X 13:26, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Did he LEGALLY change his name to David X. Cohen, or did he just choose to be credited this way per Guild rules? Croctotheface 21:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Worked for Brøderbund

There's no mention here that he used to create assembly code for Apple][ programs when he worked at Brøderbund.--76.191.180.171 (talk) 09:35, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
