Spidey punches Doc Ock in the face many times AND even shoots webbing onto his eyeglasses in the clock tower fight yet his glasses stay on the entire time.
The only time I recall his glasses getting somewhat damaged is when Aunt May slaps him with her umbrella toward the end of the bank robbery hostage/getaway scene.

p.s. Yes, I realize the glasses are there to make the CGI cuts of Doc Ock easier to blend with the live action cuts.
Of course when i say Seattle, I really mean greater Seattle area which would also include cities like Redmond, Bellevue and Kirkland amongst others.
I live in the greater Seattle area and there are quite a few game companies here. EA has offices here and obviously MS does as well. Others include Valve, Sierra, Turbine, Monolith, Nintendo, Bungie, Wild Tangent, Zombie and many more. Just check here --> http://www.igda.org/seattle/developers.htm
The Martian Information Minister reports that there was no successful landing and that Martian air defenses have engaged and shot down their second UFO in just 10 days.
He went on to say that their Defense Minister "Marvin" is working on a uber weapon known as the Illudium Pew-36 Explosive Space Modulator that will vanquish the infadels in a single Earth shattering KABOOM!
"We believe that Linux is, in material part, an unauthorized derivative of UNIX."
Wow, that argument sounds allot harsher than the argument that Linux simply contains "some" copyrighted code. They also say "We have evidence that portions of UNIX System V software code have been copied into Linux and that additional other portions of UNIX System V software code have been modified and copied into Linux, seemingly for the purposes of obfuscating their original source."
That is some scary language if you ask me. I mean seriously, what if the courts uphold that if a programmer who used to work on a particular program for another company then works on a similar program (especially if the specific aspects that he coded for both are the same) for another organization is illegal?
To put it another way, if I used to work as an engineer for Company "A" writing C++ compilers and then I leave to work for Company "B" also writing C++ compilers... clearly some of my code for Company Y is going to look similar. In part, its due to the style ive learned over the yewars and in part, its due to what I learned while working for Company "A." If what I learned about writing compilers at Company "A" is classified as a "trade secret" or "technology" that I "invented" while under their employment... then in a legal sense, I can almost make sense of it.
Will anyone shed some light on this type of situation? -PizaZ
I agree with you, but would take your proposition even further. After the beaver has finished his drug rehab program, it needs to find God. Let us all pray for 'Born Again Beaver.'
Why on earth doesn't their website have more details about the Tablet specific technology that's been integrated into this thing?
They have no details about the character recognition technology at all. I'm also curious about the type of stylus they use. Windows TablePC's use an electromagnetic type detection of the point of the stylus so that you can wrest your hand on the screen without accidentally pushing window controls. In other words, its NOT really a "touchscreen." In this Lycoris tablet, they do call it a "touchscreen." But if this is the same Toshiba then it too must have the same type of LCD right... maybe not necessarily?
... am I right or wrong? If you want to run a dedicated Half Life, Counter Strike, etc server, its a heck of a lot cheaper to find a company that will host your server on Linux than on a Windows 2k or Xp machine. Duh.

Your example is inappropriate. Things like cars, child seats, airbags, children's toys, etc which have "safety" related deffects can result in serious injury or death during normal use.
The same cannot be said regarding "most" software and as such, they shouldn't be held liable for loss of data, theft of data, or performance degradation. For the most part, YOU MUST take responsibilty for placing your machines on the internet. If you want to shield yourself from the outside, then don't go online.
Was the product (Windows) DEFECTIVE? Of couse. Do you run any mid to large sized software that has 0 defects? You're basically asking if software can be made with 0 deffects and I think most of us here will agree that the answer is no.
I think we need to catch and severely punish the individuals who perpetrate these types of internet crimes. Do you sue the lock maker because a burgler was able to pick it and enter your home?
How does DARPA know that the money granted unto these respective companies will be used for their intended purposes? Surely some method exists to make sure the money (our tax dollars really) doesn't wind up being another form of government subsidy? (a.k.a: corporate welfare?)
Sorry to break it to you boys and girls... but in THIS simulation, I am the one. All of you "bit heads" *cough* exist *cough* only to amuse me. Just thought you should know.
Gonna unplug now... "see" you all later.

I run a portal that allows users from all over the world to order food at my famous Italian Restaurant which is in fact, located in Italy.
However, let me clarify the term 'portal'. My portal allows people from anywhere in the world to physically appear instantly at the doorstep of my restaurant. Many millions of Californians (as well as American's from other U.S States) have teleported to my restaurant and I'm worried that the sue happy American's might find some a way to bring litigation against me.
Perhaps a slew of pseudo Italian Restaurants in the U.S might bring a class action suit against me since I'm drawing so many of their former customers? What should I do?
Thanks in advance,

It was actually a pelican that helped Marlin (Nemo's father) and his forgetful sidekick Dory.

Let's get the people who build battlebots to build our next generation of rovers. Those things can take a beating and keep on ticking.

If they are so negligent in their duties (are they?) can't we start some kind of class action lawsuit against them?

...so what makes you think you'll take any better care of this one? Sorry honey, mabe in a few more years when you're older.
Until then, how's about some nice cheesy poofs?
