I'd love to use gPal, but they aren't accepted on eBay, and they seem to be having some issues lately. I wish them luck in their transition to massmarket, though.
Ask *anyone* who sells frequently on eBay, and you'll hear a story about how they've been screwed by PayPal. It is a cost of doing business, like paying protection money to the mob. If you complain about it too loudly, they lock your account and take it all.
They require you to offer PayPal - I believe you can use your own generic merchant service, but of course, no one will want to use it because *everyone* accepts PayPal.
I hate them, but am forced to use them if I want to sell product online.
Wikileaks is not a US organization, and has no moral obligation to uphold US law. Further, they are not involved in the collection of data, only in the unbiased distribution and storage of it.
Serious, professional web developers take this into account. While I've not done it for pay in a few years, I coded all my templates by hand, and tested in order of complexity, starting with Lynx. After a while, you begin to visualize what HTML looks like without bothering with the browser.
The problem is, big companies tend to take internal programmers and make them "web developers", instead of hiring outside experts that actually understand and can implement the standards.
Luckily, soldiers with this line of thought also don't think much of using the iron sights on their AKs. After all, if Allah wills it, the bullets will find their targets.
My 2-year-old loves my iPhone. She can turn it on, unlock the screen (with or without passcode), go to "her screen", and open and play her games. It's really amazing to watch.
Yes, but it wasn't direct personal experience. I was putting something like this together in high school, and a bird landed on the mount where the tank was to go. It got crisped before if could fly away.
Weld a black powder-coated tank at the focus, and set it up as a solar steam generator. Be careful, though - the focus is *very* hot. 3rd degree burns hot.
I agree. I use a D70 for my hobby photography, and I would feel comfortable with it even today in many professional settings. That camera is 7 years old now.
Quality Control and Process Improvement are quite important, and in my experience, businesses have a hard time finding external candidates to fill those roles. A fresh college grad with a Six Sigma cert has a job waiting, period.
Stealth is useful against foes like Iran, but the lead time to getting it on the battlefield is making it increasingly irrelevant against modern enemies. There are ways to defeat it, and the compromises necessary to make a plan stealthy aren't worth it if there is a good chance that the stealth portion will be useless.
"Stealthy" is becoming a design requirement is all, just like aerodynamics and keeping as low of a stall speed as possible. You're not designing *for* stealth, but rather stealth is one of the things you're sacrificing to achieve the desired performance in other areas.
The future is in avionics, ECM, and unmanned craft. I believe we've seen the last generation of manned front-line aircraft in the F-22/F-35 programs. Standoff use like the AWACS and B-52 will continue for a long time, but will also eventually be replaced as well. There is just no reason to risk actual meat any more.

Oww, my head.
The Ayatollah had US backing at the time of the revolution. Incidentally, that was also the last time the Iranian people had weapons at their disposal. If they had so much as.22s, there would be no Ayatollah in Iran as of the last "election" cycle.
Finally, the Shah was hardly "tyrannical". We just saw the current government attack its own citizens en masse, because of political protests. Show me the government of the Shah doing the same.
Re-uniting Korea is going to be a nightmare. The South's infrastructure cannot handle the hordes of starving people form the North, and those people will never, ever be able to live productive lives in a free society - they simply don't know how.
Reunification will cause an immediate economic collapse like the world has seldom seen, followed by at least one generation of chaos as the brainwashed masses slowly die off from old age.
Of course, it needs to be done - but it is going to *suck*.
As someone who is attempting to work within the framework of the Republican party where possible to change its direction and focus, I can assure you that the GOP is a fractured organization.
Agreed. I wish they'd take up Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat. I still play that game just about daily, but the community is fading fast. I'm going to have to pick a new game soon, if they don't start active work on the sequel:(

I do this, to this day, for my eBay store. *Everyone* I know who uses PayPal for business has been burned to one degree or another.
I don't think they exist - seriously.

I wonder if we all work in the same place, and this is targetted? Look up my Employee ID - 1747226. Does my name come up?

Wait, what? Did you just seemlessly go from mocking a poster over being a Luddite to insulting the Southern US for no apparent reason?
I'm impressed. Impressed and confused.

Tell me again who's the victim? I must have missed it. Is it the person getting paid, or the person getting their dick sucked?

Heh, if they do this, then I'm buying one and using the sound of the car from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Until you run into the one nerd that disabled it.

I'm not going to disclose exactly how much I make, but it is *well* under $75k per year. I'm a right-leaning libertarian.
I don't see why some people can't get the other have political beliefs based upon principles, not on "how much is this going to benefit me?"

Nah, they're just bringing back the emulator.
I always assumed that there was simply some iron in there, so that a large stack of bills would set of an interferometer.
