Companies that haven't been sued, such as LimeWire and eDonkey parent MetaMachine, are anxious as well. Lawyers for the Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture Association of America have made it clear that they view those companies as potential lawsuit targets.

A happy old age is what many people spend their lives preparing for, aiming for financial security and good health in their dotage. But one thing people need not worry about, it seems, is how clever they are. A study of more than 400 pensioners reveals that cognitive ability is unrelated to happiness in old age.

Every character in the simulated world will need to eat to survive, and will be able to learn from their environment through trial and error - learning, for example, how to cultivate edible plants with water and sunlight. In addition, characters will be able to reproduce by mating with members the opposite sex and their offspring will inherited a random collection of their parents "genetic" traits.

In that case the launch could push into early next week, shuttle officials said. While Discovery’s STS-114 astronaut crew – which was strapping into the orbiter when their launch was scrubbed – will stay on at KSC for the time being, they will likely return to NASA’s Johnson Space Center if the liftoff date stretches further out, they added. Discovery must launch by July 31 to make its current launch window. The next opportunity to launch after that runs between Sept. 9-24.
