    "remember, there are two Eddie Brocks."
    Indeed. From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venom_(Spiderman_vill ain)#Ultimate_Venom
    "In the Ultimate Marvel universe, Eddie Brock is Peter Parker's childhood friend, and the symbiote is not an alien, but the creation of their fathers. Richard Parker intended it to be used for medical purposes, but Brock Sr. was more interested in the military applications. Eddie continued his father's research, and created two symbiotes. One bonded with Peter, leading to a variant of the "alien spider costume" storyline. Afterwards, he warned Eddie of the dangers of the symbiotes, but Brock nonetheless bonded with the other one, becoming Venom. It's interesting to note that whilst the original version of Venom had a personal vendetta on Spider-Man, he just knew he was Peter Parker, this version had a vendetta against Peter and the Spider-Man identity meant nothing to him."
    I think it is likely that Raimi will work with this version of the Venom story.

    Username handling

    Gmail allows usernames of between 6 and 30 characters. The only characters that can be used are letters, numbers, and periods (.). An unofficial feature of username handling seems to be that periods do not actually matter when resolving addresses. What this means is that signing up for the account foobar@gmail.com allows one to receive mail sent to the accounts: foo.bar@gmail.com, f.o.o.b.a.r@gmail.com, etc. Additionally, one is also allowed to receive mail sent to accounts of the form: foo.bar+bas@gmail.com where bas could be any string. This would allow for different aliases to be used when signing up for different services and then being able to easily filter them. /

    WaterCar Specifications

    The WaterCar is a fiberglass amphibious vehicle styled after the 2002 Convertible Camaro body style. It is powered by a Turbo charged 2.5 Liter 300 HP Subaru engine. The transmission is a Rancho Type I-4 speed manual transmission. The four wheel independent suspension and brakes are late model C-4 Corvette with stainless steel rotors.

    The WaterCar can reach speeds in excess of 125 MPH on land and the drivability with the Corvette suspension is outstanding. Once the WaterCars is driven into the water all four wheels are hydraulically retracted with the flip of a switch. The bottom covers that enclose the wheel well are also hydraulically extended to create a smooth high speed bottom which allows the WaterCar to easily hit speeds of 40 MPH on the water. The Marine Drive is a Berkeley 12JE Jet Drive with a place diverter to control the ride depending on water conditions. The WaterCar has four usable seats and the doors are fully functional. The aircraft style lock assembly assures the doors are completely water tight for water operation. The WaterCar has a removable center mount ski pole which makes it ideal for wake boarding or skiing.

    This sporty four-seater makes it possible to drive to the lake, experience an exhilarating boat ride and drive back home again without ever leaving your car!

  9. 3 designs shown on Star Wars DVD Cover Art Leaked · · Score: 0, Insightful
    "Basically, there are three different versions - the "Final Conflict" box (featuring Darth Vader's helmet - my personal favorite), the "Imperial Collection" (featuring various images from the film including a Star Destroyer) and the "Jedi vs. Darkside" design (the most colorful but least classy of the three)."
    I quite like the "Jedi vs Darkside" design myself.

    Thats a different issue entirely. Having a *browser* point you to a search engine is all well and good. You can modify this behaviour to suit yourself. But if the *internet* starts doing this stuff for you... well, it's not a pretty picture.
