go here to search the SEC's Edgar archives and get corporate switchboard numbers. Call and ask to be connected to the office of the president/ a board member/ CTO/ whatever strikes your fancy. You will most likely be connected to their secretary. Tell the secretary what's going on, and she will do the legwork for you of figuring out who in the company needs to be contacted and hook you up with them.
Works for me.
has no one outside the UK heard of their reputation for spelling mistakes? Their nickname is the Graudian!

You'd think Slashdot would get hip to it and start renaming things to obscure references to confuse outsiders. How about starting with the site's name. Considering the grueling spell check ritual, exhaustive research, and uh, I forgot what I was writing, being high as a kite and all.
hmm..."Unlike a Real World economy, over time, everyone in the EverQuest economy will gather more money, which leads to a strong, steady drop in the value of platinum, the currency. That's fine for a game, everyone can be a winner, but I don't know if a study of it will turn up any findings that are relevant in the real world. "
Uhhh, remember when a bottle of Coke was a nickel? What's different?
Straight-to-video might be overshadowed by straight-to-web, but I would never give up the movie theatre experience. I doubt others would either, because the whole point of paying to see a movie when it comes out is the social ritual. It's hard to time a web-only release so that everyone you know sees it at once, because the web is essentially too chaotic for that kind of coordination. The movie theatre model of a limited number of screens and old movies making way for the new ensures that a significant number of people see the same movie at the same time and have something to talk to each other about. The web, OTOH, is better for re-releases of old flicks, and may eventually put Blockbuster out of business. Besides, why the hell do you want to see a movie on anything less than a silver screen?
Sony have probably finally realized that licensing the PS2 platform will be a lot easier if they don't sue their most likely ( and lucrative)future licensees. Look for Connectix to start having to pay royalties soon...

they picked the shortest month. In a non-leap-year.

Slightly offtopic, sorry, but this really amused me.
