And he pulled that pretty turn of phrase straight out of his ass. None of those phases is relevant in the context of Britain, France, Spain, Russia, or any particular Chinese dynasty. If you squint hard enough, you might be able to apply it to Rome, but then any vague historical handwaving can be applied to Rome if you squint hard enough.
A 'gay-friendly' guild is one that bans the use of 'ghey', 'faggot', and 'homo' as terms of general disparagement in its chats and enforces the ban. So, the situation is quite the opposite of what you think -- it could be described as an effort to stay in character by limiting the use of contemporary slurs.
To claim the reward, you have to fly to StarForce's headquarters in Moscow and demonstrate the problem (presumably on your own hardware that you have flown in). They get to decide if they are convinced or not.
I was born in the USSR, and I've kept up with what's going on in the region, and and voluntarily flying to Russia is not something I'd like to do. Going to a hostile, Moscow-based "business" strikes me as even less of a good idea.
Since a good number of the people out there ask for money so they can get something to eat, I'd say the results show a lot of dishonesty.
So, if a complete stranger proffers you a sandwich, will you eat it? Homeless people get beaten and worse every so often, so I wouldn't put it past people to put poison and razor blades into such sandwiches. If you want to make an objective study, offer to buy a meal at a nearby restaurant.
It's not GLBT-only clans -- it's GLBT-friendly clan. Straights are allowed to join, as long as they are bashing other people's sexuality. You know, the whole "ghey homo faggot teh winn4h 1337" crap that's popular among the online 13-year-olds of this day. You'd get kicked out for that. You would not get kicked out for being straight. Simple as that.
I can't play things purchased via iTunes in Winamp and I can't play OGG/MPC/other odd stuff in iTunes. jHymn doesn't fix iTunes 6+. I've had to stop buying things in the Music Store since then. Also, iTunes is terrible about recognizing when files have been moved or deleted.
"Aspie"? Would you mind not ruining current medical terms for the rest of us? I'd really rather not have to learn of a new affectionate word for Asperger's suffers because of you.^-^
The past participle of "to go" is "gone" rather than "went". The simple past tense and the past participle are the same in regular verbs, so mistakes with irregular verbs are inderstandable. Nevertheless, you should be using the past participle with the helper "have" for the conventional present perfect.
Uh, are you thinking of Niven's Ringworld? Colour of Magic, the first Discworld book, did riff on it a teensy bit, but they are distinct in other respects.
60 days is 0.16 years. Sounds like a lot less that way, does it not? Well, that sort of perception is how we get the pointlessly long incarcerations for the slightly more serious crimes. Maybe it's just me, but very few crimes merit more than 365 days behind bars, and yet most seem to result in more than that.
And those uses can be handled with more sophisticated rules and better understanding of context. The point is that the common Slashdot misuses can be filtered with a high degree of accuracy.
I can honestly say that today's Civilization IV is a better and more engrossing game than yesterday's Civilization II. And its 3d graphics are awesome.:P
This is actually all irrelevant, as we are discussing voting methods. Discounting Chretien's election funding reform, the Canadian system is just as First-Past-the-Post as the American system. We vote to elect a representative of our geographical riding/district.
More relevant would be the mixed German system, where the parliament half-consists of both candidates directly voted upon by the riding/district, and half-consists of candidates picked by parties voted upon by the country. New Zealand successfully changed to this model a few years back, and it has revitalized their democracy.
The NIH document shows how crucial taxpayer-funded research is to the development of top-selling drugs. According to the NIH, U.S. taxpayer-funded scientists conducted at least 55 percent of the research projects that led to the discovery and development of the five top-selling drugs in 1995.
Whenever a medical treatment is developed, of course.
Paul Allen is the one who actually wrote the original Microsoft BASIC for the Altair 8800. Bill Gates knew how to sell things, but his technical skills were lacking compared to Paul's. Paul is far more deserving of his wealth than Bill.
The last production run had some very good episodes, including Jurassic Bark, The Sting, The Farnsworth Parabox, and Three Hundred Big Boys. It had its share of stinkers -- what on Urectum were they thinking when they made Bend Her? -- but overall I think it's solid.

OTOH, it's a change from the usual theme of "shoot people with guns". Is that really so bad?^-^

A pointy wooden stick is technology.

What ever happened to the time when you could disagree with someone, but still respect their opinion?
I am sorry, buddy, but that's a leftist idea.

A spelling tool may not, but a grammar tool should know that the second word in "too much", "too far", "too litle", and so on is not a verb.
You, comrade, have insulted the honour of Sri Lankan airlines. I do not envy your fate.
Here's a Google search that ought to answer your question. There is a fair bit of scientific research being done in and around Antarctica.
