Lexx had it all. What more could a sci-fi nut want? Great tits, erotic undertones, a dead assasin and a live ship. Only thing it was missing was full frontal nudity.
Oh God, I hope I didn't miss the full frontal nudity.
Anyone know which episode it was in if I did miss it?
I run a small website offering adult digital content. A few weeks ago I recieved a letter stating that i had to pay paypal a total of $1500 setup fees plus $750 a year for paypal to continue processing my VIsa and Mastercard transactions. they classified me as high risk even though we have never had one customer complaint or refund request. The more questions I asked to paypal the ruder their responces became. After a week of research I finally have found that visa is charging these "high-risk" fees. Other companies I've talked to have heard nothing about mastercards fees though. I have looked around and found several other oreder processing sites that will do the job. I wonder how much profit paypal will make off these extra charges. HAs anyone else recieved this letter? Encluded is the letter in full for your readign pleasure. Notice it doesn't have paypal's protect your password sig.

Dear Merchant,
We would like to update you on new Visa & MasterCard regulations that affect the way Internet Payment Service Providers (IPSPs) such as PayPal conduct business. Both Visa & MasterCard require high-risk merchants to complete a registration form, pay an initial registration fee, and pay renewal fees on an annual basis (details below).
We value our Merchants and are dedicated to providing you with the high quality service to which you are accustomed. Please note that these fees are imposed by Visa and MasterCard, not by PayPal. In keeping with PayPal's core policy of not charging set-up costs and/or annual fees to our Merchants, PayPal (in contrast with many IPSPs) will not add any additional or hidden costs to these Visa & MasterCard fees.
PayPal, like all other IPSPs, must comply with the regulations. In order to assure your continued access to PayPal's transaction platform, we need you to provide the requested information by November 1st. If we do not hear from you by the close of business on November 1st, PayPal will be unable to process your transactions until all such information has been submitted.
While some IPSPs have announced that they will cease processing for non-US merchants, that is not the case with PayPal. PayPal will continue to process transactions for high-risk merchants in the United States, Canada and Europe through our existing banking arrangements in these areas. In addition, we will continue working to expand our banking relationships worldwide.
Below is a summary of the requirements for both Visa and MasterCard:
VISA:
* Visa will require an initial registration fee of $500
* Visa will require an annual renewal fee of $250
* Paypal must provide Visa with monthly sales, chargebacks and refund information on each Adult merchant.
MasterCard:
* MasterCard will require an initial registration fee of $1,000
* MasterCard will require an annual renewal fee of $500
We will be sending another email out shortly requesting the specific information we will need to bring your business into compliance with the new regulations. We will also provide instructions on fee collection.
Should you have any questions, please send an email to setup@paypal.com. We will endeavor to respond in a timely manner.
My wife and I have come up with a good one. When the telemarketers start their pitch she and I go into mock battle inthe middle of the kitch. I start screaming what a c*nt she is and how dare her pick up the F*!king phone when i'm tlaking. We will slam cabinets and have even been known to break dishes. it's lots of fun and we have a jolly ol time. We have left many an unsuspecting telemarketer in tears and screaming appologies because they think I just beat the crap out fo my wife for answering the phone. of course I never touch her but they don't need to know that. They never call back though. Give it a try. The fmaily that plays together stays together right?
a 200 doller door stop. Oh Joy. who cares what os it runs. Lets take half a computer (if that) and spout obout the os. Common! I want a 200 doller video card. what the hell would I do on a 200 doller computer? It might make a good target. is the motherboard certified to explodenicely when a shotgun fires at it?
they already are in hot water in the courts. it seems like they are gonna fuck themselves with the consumer also. lets guarantee p2p sharing fails. Geesh.

put ut on a lan and play with people that are actually getting good framerates. I was a walking target with my old voodoo 3/3000. it doesn't show in single player but when you put your machine up against other machiens through a lan game....
FRAMERATE IS LIFE!
when OS X first went into development I heard a lot of hubub about Apple developing it for both mac and pc platforms. Was this just rumor and speculation? Anyone hear anything recently about it?
I too have used and abused a digital camera. I tend to swing toward the Olympus brand name just from personal bias. it takes sweet shots. and has taken thousands. there is something to be said for that perfect shot per hundred.
It's all in a computer data base at our library. It pops up a screen when we re-rent a book. They say "Oh, you read this two years ago." So they must keep records.
what's with this. part of essay writing is gettign the spellign right. it's not 'r' it is 'are'. if it's not right it's wrong. lets teach our kids to concentrate on getting things right not what they can fudge. Geesh.
