An interesting theory, but one I doubt. While the NSDAP was ruling Germany, women were given medals for "producing" more children for the Reich. Upon reaching the four, six, and eight child levels, a woman would recieve the Honour Cross of the German Mother. If memory serves, the ancestry and race of the child (and family) had to qualify as Aryan. Images of the medals can be seen here.
Coming from one who plays another HL mod, Firearms, there is something I find even more amazing about cheating. Even with options out there to help prevent cheaters, like Cheating-Death, people would rather bitch about the cheaters than play on servers which require such programs. Talk about wanting to have your cake and eat it too....
Why don't articles actually post the URL to the site?!
Perhaps because AOL is CNN's parent company, and they don't want to deal with the hassle? If you were the webmaster of PayPal, would you link to paypalsucks.com?
Putting it in the sidebar as another poster mentioned is sufficient.
.... those "dark patches" are just acne I'd bet. Our solar system is pretty young on the scale as things go in the universe, so Venus prolly just needs to wash up a bit better.
The stories on this website scare me because I use PayPal regularly but now I tend to withdraw all but $1.35 from my account just to be safe.
Actually, the real reason you shouldn't leave money in your PayPal account is that it won't make any interest there (unless you have one of their super wonder premium accounts). Dump it out to your bank!
I'd go for ordinary imprisonment. Sure, this and lots of other crimes merit worse, but unfortunately our "justice" system is actually a "conviction" system, and doesn't appear to be batting too high an average on hanging the right guy.
Actually, throwing him in the GP (general population) of a correctional facility will serve as the best punishment of all for any guilty party. You can rape a grandmother, shoot a guy in a wheelchair, or light your ex-wife's house on fire. Hurt a kid though, and inmates will make you pay for it. If this guy ever makes it to prison, he'll likely have an "unfortunate" accident within a few days of his arrival, and you can be sure it won't be a fast, painless one, either.
UBB (especially the older versions), the bulletin board software that the post is on, is quite CPU intensive. We commonly experienced that same 500 error until after we upgraded both our server and the software itself. There is no way that their board would be able to handle the load unless it is a dedicated server, and even then, it'd be chancy.
Naturally, the whole world needed a chance to vent about 9/11/01 in the days afterward. I find it interesting that 9/11/02 threads have also popped on my own board. I guess people need to vent about the remebrance, forced compliance to remembrance, or just a need to get away from all of the remembrance.
Being of East Indian ethnicity, I do feel the general hate level against the asain population including Arabs/chinese/Indians.
It's not just an ethnic thing- it's also a question of appearance and sterotypes.
I know a gent here who's as white as Ward Cleaver. He served his country in Vietnam, and earns a good living as a painting contractor. Sounds pretty respectable, right? Well, guess what- he's been a victim of post-9/11 hate too.
Why? Because he's a Sikh, and wears a turban and has a long beard.
Remember folks, just because you have pasty skin doesn't keep ignorant, arrogant youths in a convenience store from calling you a sand nigger.:/
Amazingly enough, Delorean One sells reconditioned ones for as little as $62,500. Why take the Tilley Foundation's word for it when you can play the Marty McFly home game?
Any demonstration that makes the lesson sink in to a student's head.
Kudos to one of my physics professors, Dr. Richard Mancuso, for his toy collection. Any student that brought him a toy that clearly demonstrated a principle of physics for that wasn't already in his collection got extra credit for the semester. I clearly remember the collection filling a few display cabinets, and there was at least one toy for every lecture. I learned 10 times more in his course than I did the previous semester with another instructor because he made it interesting.
I think it'd be fairly safe to say the same thing could be said about simple highway traffic or air traffic congestion. You only need one failure to make an effect ripple outward.....
Oh look, there's a cop with a speeder pulled over in the northbound lane. It only takes one rubbernecker to back up 4 lanes of traffic for a 1/2 mile, and that is in the _southbound_ lane!
Let's say a nice fog bank rolls off the Atlantic, and drops visibility in the New York area. In no time at all, flight schedules up and down the Eastern Seaboard of the US are knocked off kilter as Newark, Laguardia, and JFK either delay flights or shut down.
Earthquakes are just one thing you can relate it to, but just like some other folks replied, it still goes back to string theory.
I'd bet it'd be safe to say it'd be more than the NIC that's already in your PC right now. It seems that, as a rule, retro projects like this cost more than current technology with worse performance.

Actually, my bet would go on "sloppy marketing literature". The reporter is likely just regurgitating what he was told.

mine can still carry a two bikes and a canoe on the roof rack for my honeymoon tomorrow. ;-)

".....planning to propose a new optical disk format to the DVD Forum that will offer four times more storage capacity than current DVDs"
Gee, like DVD was supposed to have been all along? Not gonna buy into it. Wouldn't be prudent at this junc-ture.
... and only against HEAT projectiles. Sabot rounds will still punch nasty holes in non-Chobham armor.

I move we call for a slashback in a few hundred years when this might be possible. ;-)
Even more important - save your opt-out emails, and take screenshots of those that don't send you a confirmation.
