If it were possible to do. FIDE could just step in and ban you from ever taking part in another FIDE approved tournament. Effectively removing the ability to make any form of recompense for the 'purchased' skill. This is because most of the big-paying events are under FIDE rules and/or regulations.
I completely agree, and I'll share the experience of someone who only recently started (!) playing WoW.
(I'm an alliance paladin, and I dance dance dance, dance dance dance)
Northshire: Human starting area. Nice, peaceful atmosphere for the most part. Sort of shady area.
Elwynn Forest: Connects to Northshire. Very peaceful seeming, but the mass of tall trees, the hills, and lakes gives you a great sense of the initial grand scale of the world.
Stormwind City: Connected to Elwynn, is a very lively city with distinct people and sections, that all feel like they belong together.
Westfall: Dust bowl-y landscape. Slow, rolling hills, farms strewn about, but the fences alone tell you that all isn't right in the world. The fences are falling apart, the farms are dying.
Duskwood: It's dark, the trees hang low, the landscape hides much, and feels oppressive.
Redridge Mountains: Harsh, mountainous terrain. Long treks up steep inclines, with enemies hidden behind sharp corners.
Ironforge: Dwarfs. Little people. Why do they build such huge structures? Overcompensating for something, are we?
Loch Modan: Numerous hills and a dam-blocked lake define this area. the surrounding area is all mountain.
Wetlands: Oddly enough, they are wet. Very much gets the point across that it's a wetland area, with little bridges crossing spans between bands of water, dark green vegetation everywhere.
I'd talk more about areas of Kalimdor, but I just haven't spent much time there.
Every area has it's own feel, you can tell where you are in the world just by how the landscape looks. Once you've been to an area, you could randomly appear there for some reason, glance around and know where you are, just by looks. And every area also has people and things within it that flesh out the details.
I had been considering, for a while, maybe getting one of the cheap small players at wal-mart. Now that I know the service locks out my browser, as I refuse to use IE, I have no desire for one of the devices.
Wal-Mart has just lost business. Oh, I'll still shop for things there, but they won't be getting money for music from me.
Unreasonable changes over time. At current, unreasonable searches basically don't exist. Courts have managed to justify just about every possible action.
Do either of the above posters have a source reference that they can cite? I know that noise-cancelling phones work by generating sound waves that are out-of-phase with the ambient noise, but it would seem that is simply adding to the sound pressure levels?
No need, it's basic wave dynamics.
If you have a sine wave, and add a wave that is out of phase (the more negative, the better), the destructive interference results in a less intense waveform reaching the ears.
Now, before you go "but it isn't a wave, it's a compression and rarefaction of air" keep in mind that the ANC still does the same thing. Add a compression into the rarefaction, and a rarefaction into the compression, and you receive a less intense overall pressure.
The oracle demands a nuclear detonation overpressure capable noise cancellation system. (bonus points for the people that remember where the hell this bit originates)
Does it provide me with the 'main tab-close button that FF used to have?
I used both the per-tab close button and the main one, and rely on having both. Plus I *really* prefer my bookmarks to open in individual background tabs. I can still open a group of tabs in their own ('Open All In Tabs'), but I want to do individual ones, as well.
I play D&D and I can tell you... slingshots do crap damage!
Yes, but level 0 children only get 2d2-1 hit points. (No idea really, just making this up - for the one purist who actually knows how many hit points level 0 children get.)
They may have low hit points, but they have extremely high stamina and charisma.

Yep, there has been more reported security holes in Firefox than IE lately.
But, you, like a proper master of statistics, left out some data.
Firefox, while currently finding more security holes, has a faster resolution time, on average of about 2 days from discovery to patch.
IE, on the other hand, generally takes between one week and one month. People wait to disclose new vulnerabilities until just after the latest patch release date, for maximum exposure.
Firefox has no rigid update schedule, and releases fixes as it needs to. Internet Explorer is bound by the Microsoft Support Schedule and people are able to take advantage of it in that way.
Yep, they employ a web crawler that goes about sucking data of websites, too, so the entire contents of this thread are now going to be used against some high school student writing about the evils of copyright infringment.
Step 1: Teir registration of domains. Step 2: Goggle buys Verisign. Step 3: Google designs a system whereby the cost of the domain is related to the pagerank. Step 4: Profit!
Most people, when they don't want to call it "the moon" call it Luna. It makes sense, too... add an R and you've got our terms for it. Lunar Cycle, etc.
Same type of deal with the sun. Sol. Solar Flares.

Ahh, but in chess, you have a central authority.

Yep, I am a World of Warcraft user. This means I use torrents... I must be a thief who steals stuff from all over.
Nope, the only loot I get is off the monsters I kill.

To be fair, another 41 voted for me as well, that year. On paper ballots, too.

I had tried the RC about a month back.
I then was accepted into the windows live essentials beta, requiring IE6.
So, I follow MS's uninstallation instructions...
One unrecoverable reboot loop and reformat later: I do not like IE7.

Actually, they did. And they did ask about his ex-wives.
But the registrar and nameservers for writely don't match the other google holdings...
So, one has to ask, is it safe?
