"Peter Parker's been a teen/young adult for what? 30 years?"
Only if you consider the books realtime. How do you know each issue isn't one day in the life of Parker? And, uh, he's not still in 1972?
This game looked really promising until I tried to play it on the PC. The control is shit. Maybe I'd have better luck with a gamepad than the kb/mouse, but I didn't bother trying.
Here's hoping they continue development on Maya--unlike Adobe, who bought Syntrillium (developers of Cool Edit), released one bugfix/minor upgrade version, then promptly forgot about it.
And yet, the software, movies and music being produced are also being pirated, usually before it even hits shelves. Your insinuation that these companies would go out of business without copyright controls does not match reality.
www.riaaradar.com says this album is on a non-RIAA label. Presumably just buying it will keep the RIAA from getting any.
I have heard of Harvey Danger, but never heard any of their music. Now I have. It's a bit poppy for my taste, but I'm buying it anyway as my own little "go fuck yourselves sideways with a Chevrolet, RIAA."
This is the future of album distribution. The RIAA's new business model of settling out of court for ridiculous amounts of money will dry up soon enough. Then where will they go? Straight to hell, I hope, preferably dragging Jack Valenti and his gang of fuckheads with them.

Hey, don't disparage the proven techniques of Intelligent Design like that!
"The real story here is how the leak was an inside job."
No, the real story is that this time the industry is going after the right people.
Sue your customers for downloading screeners and you're just wasting time. Fix the problem at the source and you're ahead of the game (ignoring cam rips, which are 50% of the problem).
"I fully support Linux but if I had to make the decision again I'd pick Windows. A big reason is the fact Windows was up and running in two hours at all the right patch levels. The installation of SAP took two days on Windows, the installation on Linux Red Hat took two weeks. The total cost of ownership is actually lower in this case than with Linux because of the hidden costs of the support."
I feel like I'm reading a Microsoft brochure. And keep in mind that I *like* Windows as a desktop OS, for the most part.
"Having Venom would be a travesty since it's unlikely the whole origin of the black suit symbiotic lifeform would be discussed or explained properly."
You're right. Secret Wars just didn't suck enough in comic form--let's bring that shit to the big screen! Maybe Raimi can cram a Power Pack cameo in there somewhere too.

Jack Thompson is a fucking kook.
I'm saying it's been around forever, and my reply also indicated where the proof fails. :P

You can express it as 1 getacalculator (or 10^youlazyfuck if you prefer scientific notation).

It is my understanding that all the free-roaming Iraqi WMDs died out in the 90s.

"54 comments about the double-entendre of the story's headline"
55.
Scientists are getting excited about the gorillas' impressive tools. Heh heh heh.
And of course you forgot: 2 comments about how only old Korean gorillas use tools these days.

Is it just me, or does this sound like an ad?

Windows has been downloadable for as long as I can remember. Move along, nothing to see h--wait, let me read the article.
Oh, downloadable after you BUY it. Nevermind.
They're both rectangular! And have circular shapes on them!
I noticed the iPod mini also bears a suspicious resemblance to the flag of Japan. Someone alert consumer watchdog groups.
"remember when they had parents scared and provided a tool to help parents identify media that may have been pirtaed on a hard-drive?"
I remember it. It was essentially "find / -iname *.mp3" in a win32 executable.
