The Associated Press Stylebook, the style guide used by most U.S. newspapers and news organizations, says it's "e-mail." I suspect this is because it's a combination of two words. Newspaper people and English majors love to use that hyphen when combining two words into one.
Having learned long ago you don't argue with a copy editor armed with the AP Stylebook (particularly when he/she is on deadline), I'll go with e-mail.
I think The Cringe used "girls" because they are not adults when they make the life-direction decisions he was discussing. They are women, however, when they face the consequences and/or the rewards of those decisions.
According to the some of "what's new" documents available during the beta period, the latest version's executable is actually 1 MB smaller than version 4.x.
There's yet another FPS documentary, this one with a pedigree. Anna Kang, who's married to John Carmack of id Software, owns a company called Fountainhead Entertainment. That company is working on a documentary called Gamers and it, too, has a trailer.
If I remember right, the judge in the DeCSS case was not banning merely linking to a page that had DeCSS links, but rather linking directly to the software itself stored on a remote machine. His complaint was that this was, in effect, if you click on a remote link and the download commences, it's the same as storing it on your machine.
So, in linking to a page of DeCSS mirrors, CNN was not violating the judge's order. (It may have been violating the wishes of its parent company through its MPAA suit.)
While the judge's ruling is a dangerous precedent, it's not necessarily as bad as it looks. You can still link to pages that might contain DeCSS - just not directly to the file.
The Sony executive is just yappin'... He's an ape, banging on his chest in the jungle, hoping the opposing tribe will hear. Sound and fury signifying nothing.
Sony cannot block Napster at your ISP, at your phone company, at your cable company, or anywhere. They certainly can't "firewall it at your PC." The guy doesn't understand the Net; he may not understand the courts system; and he certainly doesn't understand (or have respect for) U.S. antitrust laws.
All this, of course, is to presume that Napster will survive in its present form. Most legal types don't think Napster has much of a case, that the injunction will be imposed and it will go down, hacking out ugly death-throe sounds.
Sony won't have to "firewall it at your PC." Napster's about to have its air supply cut off.
First, Graeme Devine is on the id team. He was the developer of The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour - full motion video, puzzle-oriented games. Devine has said he was hired specifically to design and develop the next game. Hence, don't assume at all that the next Doom (not necessarily Doom III) will be an FPS in the purest sense. I suspect it may have more aspects of an adventure game - maybe even more than Half-Life.
Second, and this is the Bad Mojo... Steed may be gone, but Adrian Carmack and Kevin Cloud remain. They are essentially being told they are going to work on a game they don't believe in. What kind of workplace scenario is that? Carmack, Carmack and Cloud all work together in the same big room, or at least they did when I last visited. I suspect that's a pretty tense workspace.
You whiners. The X-Files has at least one more good season in its hoary old body, and here's what should happen:
Duchovny signs on. It's announced that this is the last season. The entire season is spent in a wind-down of Mulder/Scully vs. the Mega-Conspiracy. CM plots to completely shut down the X-Files investigations for good, and succeeds. At the end of the season, Scully/Mulder are fired and are set up to become X-file-investigators for hire, which will be the theme used in several follow-up movies that will make everyone rich.

You should, too.

It will get worse before it gets better.
