Sandler is such a complete fucking asshole. That’s a 48-year-old man wearing that.

Yeah, it makes pretty good sense. Accept that your creation has a life of its own, but don't let other people profit from it without giving you a cut. If every IP holder had this level of common sense, the concept of intellectual property wouldn't be a problem.

This story is a great demonstration of how copyright law is intended to function. It’s supposed to protect an artist’s work from being used for profit by others without permission. The policy of copyright is hard to defend when it’s a bunch of mega-corporations CADing non-profit fan projects to death, so it’s nice…

Some people might flame this guy for enforcing his ownership of the troll face, but I think it’s perfectly acceptable. He’s doing what he should do, which is ignoring people who use it for parody or without making money, and enforcing his copyright when they do make money. Good for him for making some money off…

What’s stopping the exploiters from leaving their cars all over the place and letting people that don’t know about the fix die to them?

I used to do this by sticking CDs over the sanding attachment of my Dremel tool. I'd spin them up and they'd either shatter or spin until I'd try to knock them off. Most of the time, trying to knock them off the Dremel resulted in immediate shattering. Every once in a while, though, they'd land on the floor intact and…

Yes.

Green? That hourglass is clearly blue and black.

The evolution of the Joker is what startles me the most. Back during the 60s, he was just one of Batman's idiot enemies - another face in a colourful cast.

If you live in Argentina, you have FAR more to worry about than the state of your Internet at the moment! Good luck avoiding a dictatorship down there!

So why are US corporations putting up with slow internet speeds? Wall Street in particular.

Billions of dollars can be made with the few minute shift in the price of all sorts of financial instruments.

So if a Wall Street biggie is playing with markets in Japan, his competitors have an advantage because of the…

Aww, you think Argentina has slow speeds? Come to Antarctica and THEN we'll talk about slow internet speeds. Whiner.

You mean in another four.

While the original Samus outfit is absurd, the new one doesn't work either. All of that stuff would get in the way of her power armor. I think something like a loose jumpsuit (like Seven's redesign) would get the point across just as well.

I hope not but there's always some idiot along the lines of "I hate when io9 does a Jezebel article."

I always saw the classic Sonja design twofold: First, she knows her beauty can be a distraction and throw male opponents off guard and thus give her an advantage in a fight.

I worked as a designer for Westwood Studios (back then Westwood Associates). It was a sad day when EA purchased Westwood. But some of the designers stayed in Las Vegas and formed Petroglyph Games.

Please continue this public service that you are doing. Unfortunately, debunking the stuff after the fact doesn't do much for people gullibility now.

I use that simply because I don't care enough to change it.
