Actually, no. If you advertise virtual child pornography as real child pornography, in the eyes of U.S. law that is as bad as if it really is real child pornography, because it is the intent that matters. Someone tried to squirrel their way out of a charge on the basis that the material wasn't in fact child pornography, but it didn't work.
This is true, but they're a foundation, which is a different type of non-profit to a 501(c)(3).
The issue is likely to be that the IRS sees Mozilla as largely funded by a single entity. Having 90% (or whatever) of your revenue does not fit public funding goals, which I believe require at least 1/3 of funding to be from the general public.
I lead WikiFur, which was recently lent hosting by a fan. I didn't want to hog the server, so I scoured the web for tips on reducing the impact of websites. There turned out to be a lot of improvements that could be made which significantly increased our performance while drastically cutting the load.
The biggest difference is not in reduced bandwidth or increased maintainability but in the user experience. Simply put, people love being on a fast site. No site will reach its potential if you have to wait ten seconds for pages to load. If you can cut that to mere tenths of a second, you're more likely to have a winner on your hands.
Well, I don't have much experience as a seller. The main thing I'd be worried about is that for popular books it is quite a good place for buyers to get a good deal - which means the price you'll get as a seller is not likely to be great. But if you're willing to settle for the lowest price, it should be a reasonable way of selling them.
I tried eBay for a few recent purchases but I found that Amazon was winning most of the time - either with its own stock or through third-party sellers.
The marketplace is far more efficient for buyers - you don't have to wait for auctions that you might or might not win to complete.
eBay might still be the best place for unusual or one-of-a-kind items - I've seen certain out-of-print titles go for far less than the offers on Amazon - but for most things it's just not worth my time.
If you're subscribed to Google Alerts, and they post a malware-hosting blogger site with material you're watching for, it comes straight into your inbox.
I've had this happen to me with spam copied from one of my own wikis.
They seriously need to clamp down on the ability to redirect people automatically from Blogger.
Unfortunately those customers will find themselves in the same position as pirates - without keys that can download software updates from our servers. Perhaps they will buy direct from us in the future rather than rely on retailers, who clearly cannot police themselves.
Actually, there are rules for this. If you feel a judge would be prejudiced towards you, you can file a motion to have them removed from the case. Not saying it'd work, but might be worth trying. Better yet, the motion becomes part of the case history, so his past actions are being brought up as well.
Deletionism - or at least, less inclusive activity - is a tendency that I think grows over time. Wikipedia's idea of quality takes some time to sink in, but after one too many edit wars, you learn to appreciate sources, and become wary of those articles lacking them - and this often includes pages of an inclusive nature.
Of course, some people just don't like Pokemon, or furries, or Star Wars mucking up their encyclopedia. But that's fine - we can take our business elsewhere.

That's how you know it's the proper term. It's a poor kind of word that can't be spontaneously invented as required.
You haven't played WoW recently, have you? Those Tauren babes . . . well, let's just say they serve a damn fine milkshake, if you know what I mean.
They're just ugly. Uncanny valley, here we come!
Skunk included a short comic exploring the result of getting a catgirl in your bed. It wasn't pretty!
Whatever happened to doing things because we *could*, rather than because we should?

Some of us don't *have* TV, you insensitive clod!

Real furry conventions are much more fun than PafCon. As for furry cartoons, Softpaw Magazine springs to mind, but they take pains to avoid a resemblance to humans.

You mean this? Working on it.
Wrong to who? A company can sue you and they might, in fact, be wrong, but you would still be out thousands of dollars by that point.
