"As seller claims this Crickett Bat is fully capable of whacking Zombies, as Zombies are creatures of magic (alternatively: Magyk, of Magical Enchantment, Spellbound or upon retainer to dark and nefarious fiend(s)) they are therefore out of compliance with eBay policy and this item has been withdrawn."
So they may know the sufferings endured by their customers, may a great lamentable curse be upon them!
Not like using ebay isn't some kind of curse, from both buyer and seller perspective.. every try to get online help from these goofballs? Have a lot of spare time to kill.
Why in the world would you even try to do it? What is the goal of this endeavour?
Its like squeezing a Chevy V6 into a Ferrari.
Because you can.
When I was in Michigan I saw what I thought was the most outlandish faux pas I've seen to date.. a Chevy 454 engine in a Porshe 911. Talk about a down grade, bet the handling is horrible. Pointless.
I could make a joke about presidential candidates here, but they already have fossilized brains.
I was considering an alegory to Tea Party members, but it would fall flat as I suspect everyone immediately made that association by now and has moved on to Young Frankenstein, Frankenstein and FRAHNK-en-STEEN.

It's a game.. seeing how many pieces of hardware we can run Linux on. There's always the question, is it the suitability of the OS or the hardware which is the chief difficulty. I'd say with problems prying into how the Mac is made and what tricks you have to overcome, it's not a particularly good choice (particularly as there may be small deviations during the production, which you won't know about, until you trip on them.)
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies Don't fence me in Let me ride through the wide open country that I love Don't fence me in Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees Send me off forever but I ask you please Don't fence me in
Interesting perspective. I'm a hiker and I'd love to hike Mars. All these photos are tantalizing, to imagine some of the great vistas available, which only a robot can see for the present.
Some day the Sierra Club will be trying to protect areas of the planet, to keep open and undeveloped. Trails will descend into Valles Marineris and there will be campgrounds. No scorpions, no rattlesnakes. A trail or two will ascend Olympus Mons and even in daylight you will be able to see the brighter stars and constellations. The hint for every martian Geocache will be under a pile of rocks. It'll be a glorious place to wander. I'm seriously envious of those who will enjoy all Mars has to offer, aside from just another place for the human race to populate and industrialize.

It's bad enough when I have a few seconds of internet lag, let alone the amount of time it would take to send instructions to Rover and wait for a return.
Most people are idiots. They immediately jump to a conclusion based upon flimsy evidence like photos (never thinking maybe the photo has been doctored), or something they read at FOX or MSNBC.com, or were told on facebook. (See my sig for examples of these idiots.)
My favorite quote on the subject: There are people who will doubt a panel of highly educated experts who have gathered evidence, studied, assembled the facts and presented them in a thoughtful manner, but will accept for indesputable fact the word of a blowhard on the radio, TV or internet, who has nothing at all to back up their assertions.
Somewhere in the world a father is proud of his son, a graduate's sister wants an ice-cream, and a mother is happy. I challenge your assumption that the statements are referring to the people in the picture, and conclude that all the statements are true with extremely high probability.
Argued like a lawyer. Well done. But the jury has been instructed to decide not on a preponderance of circumstatial evidence, but on facts.

And my plan to flood the world with magic would have worked if it weren't for you meddling kids at Ebay!
More seriously. If you're going to ban people for buying stupid useless things, you might as well shut down Ebay right now.
This does not prevent you starting your own magic item online auction service, they've left that door wide open.
EBAY - Getting our cut while helping rearrange the world's junk.
Just start reporting them then *shrug*

First they ban used underwear and now I can't even buy magic spells? Sheesh. It seems like there's nothing left on eBay worth bidding on.
Yeah, you can't even sell your spare body parts anymore. What's the world coming to?
But you are free to sell all the grilled cheese sandwhiches depicting Jesus or the apostles your heart desires (gette thee the compleat sette nowe!)
Does this also include oxygen-free cables and that CD that's supposed to re-tune your speakers?
Sounds to me like any sufficiently advanced technology will now be banned as they are indistinguishable from magic.
Holy water is still for sale http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blessed-Holy-Water-4-fl-oz-118ml-/110919177479?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d34c5507
Sounds like a case of "who backs up your magic?"
to sell magic brownies on Ebay
To say nothing of Magic Mushrooms
Or little tea cakes with the lettering EAT ME on them
So they may know the sufferings endured by their customers, may a great lamentable curse be upon them!

Smells like a class action suit to me...
Sounds like the old clause: "Subject to change without notice" at work.
I was sitting in a pub and it made itself look like a pretzel.

It's tough luck coming late to the party.

The card reads Abby Normal. Should be OK, what could go wrong?
in favor of Apple.
Now I think her wild mood swings must mean she's medicating?
No, she has just gotten to know Apple better than she did before.
Got to know the ugly side of patent fights and how everyone can be such a poor actor.

Wow, this is one of the most retarded questions to date and that's saying something for an "Ask Slashdot" question.
Yeah. Joan can't possibly interfer with Blake's things anymore as he's R.I.P.
Yeah really, I was thinking more like:
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in

South American non-aligned flexing its muscle.
At least it's not Venezuela, which would be putting him on parade to rub US noses in it.
It'll just go through a period of inflation, which will devalue the dollar and those who bought bonds in the US will be screwed.
It's knowing how the game is played.
Move to California, it's still a cool place and a lot is still being done here.
Seriously, we don't need more space junk. This "artist" is a griefer.
I hope it comes down in North Korea. In scrap value it might double the GDP of the country.
All you would need is your own massive 230-foot dish antenna and a 400-kilowatt transmitter
In that case, yes. Yes, I could.
On your way to the Hamfest in Findlay, Ohio, then?

This combined with the power of the Baskerville font will empower you to crush the free will of others, MUAHAHAHA!
Fortunately, facebook's Timeline format will make your efforts unintelligible and people will rapidly lose interest in ... OH, LOOK! SHINY!

critical thinking died 10 years ago, guess you missed the funeral.
I think that' was Irony's Funeral. They're still nailing Critical Thinking into a coffin.
