Stop. You're giving people here a feeling of relevance. They might try to fight the RIAA/MPAA in court next, or come up with a new way to find extra-solar planets, or create new physics, or even run for public office.
Who knows what they might do with this new feeling of power? It's dangerous, and you need to stop encouraging this behavior right now!
I don't think you know what CYA means... it means think in advance to minimize problems later! Sure it backfired here but there are probably hundreds of cases in which children probably as young as 11 would have sought rewards even though it would be violating child labor laws worldwide. is this what you want, for Paypal to engage child labor to search for bugs?
If a 15 year old submits a bug, gets paid, and uses the money to buy drugs, could the parent sue, claiming they were irresponsible to give so much money to a teenager directly?
let me answer your question with a blanket YES - anybody can sue anybody for anything, for any claim. then it becomes a probability game of their odds of winning, the potential cost if you lose, and the cost of defending, even if you were to win. throw in some unquantifiables such as PR reputational costs, etc.
on the other hand, the plaintiff plays the same probability game, and will only sue if there's a good chance of seeing some $$. So it's all a rent-seeking game of thuggery and extortion. welcome to tort law.
what the heck IS ruby on rails? is it two separate things, or one thing? is it like PHP or CSS? I'm bewildered by the technological change on the web. not that I did not say technological advancement, just technological change.
think it allows us to at least study a plant thats 400 years old. To compare its genome to other plants. To see what kind of adaptations it had. What kind of environment it liked.
We can infer from the climate that it grows well in what the climate might have been like prior to a glacier forming over and freezing it.
dude, it was 400 years ago. like year 1600, shakespeare and all that. we know pretty well what the weather's been like since then, more than we'd learn from the plant anyway.
I have seen some theories saying the ice age was a unique event that came about rather quickly. As opposed to a cyclical event. Something that won't happen again without certain criteria being met.
Anyway a lot of questions could be raised or answered by these plants.
The last ice age was 10,000 years ago. during the time of wolly mammoths, like you know the movie Ice Age?
in canada they (you) use the imperial gallon, while in US we use the us customary gallon. difference is like 5%.
No idea what gallon, if any, they use in Canada. But an imperial pint is 20 fluid ounces whereas a US one is only 16. Given that the fluid ounce is more or less the same and both systems have 8 pints to the gallon, that would imply a difference of more like 20%.
so, try again precision boy.
You might want to taste your own medicine.

well then canadians would be wrong. in canada they (you) use the imperial gallon, while in US we use the us customary gallon. difference is like 5%. so, try again precision boy.
don't be a dimwit. if you're traveling at 60 miles per hour, how long will it take you to travel to your destination 30 miles away? now, what if you're going 110 FPS? what then? what do you do, asshole?
Get the world off of daylight saving's time, or convince everyone to use GMT. Kill the leap second. Decimalization is pointless if all human–computer time conversions continue to require politically-driven lookup tables.
if we do standardize on GMT, then as an american I insist that the standard be changed so that 12:00 is the middle of the day in america.
I said this in a post like a year ago, but now apparently obama agrees with me. go metric if you want, but don't try to force your world view on others.
given that much of what we have today is a nearly proper superset of ten years ago, there wouldn't be much stopping you from doing 10-year-old page styles on modern browsers
don't be a douche. soap already has antibacterial properties, which is why you don't need to include antibiotics such as the chemical in the summary, which just leads to strains of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.

next stop, the metric system!
obviously you do not have children. if you ever do you will see what I mean... trust me grasshopper...
wtf the second link in the summary points to the summary itself? that doesn't even make sense.

regardless of what you "use", in US we don't have the imperial gallon we have the US customary gallon

they're not called english units they're called US customary units.
55 is shitty speed limits. 75mph is my minimum "speed limit". sammy hagar can kma!

[blink]i disagree![/blink]
which unlike Google Chrome is open source and doesn't track you as much as their proprietary product.
eyebrows go up. doesn't track as much? is that the best we can hope for these days? also, stop pointing your goog glasses at me!
it's like belonging to the No Homers club...
in latvia, history teaches you!
why is this moderated funny? it's no laughing matter.
my intuition is that pakistani hard liners did this in order to influence the election and take voters away from the moderates.

producers can kiss my ass, because what's best for america is what's best for them.
this is all my bad, guys. I upload 100 hours of video about my cat every minute. Maru!
