But you can also play poker without gambling if you play on sites that give out points rather than money, like pogo.com. That won't be illegal under this act. So the issue isn't poker, it's gambling. Online poker will still continue to exist no matter which way it goes, so it's stretching it a bit to even imply that it's in jeopardy of disappearing.

The game itself is not a crime anywhere as far as I know, but playing for money when the business doesn't have a gambling license is a crime in some jurisdictions, such as where I live. And there are good reasons why gambling houses have to have a license, besides making money for the state and reporting large winners for taxes. Things like making sure the odds are not artificially stacked more in favor of the house than they already naturally are, and making sure that winners actually get paid and not scammed. Any place in my state that has a license is subject to inspections of every aspect of their business to make sure it complies with the rules. Would you really want to play poker for money somewhere that only "special" people can win because they are using stacked decks? Or if you win over a certain amount you will have to hire a lawyer and fight to get your money?

Is there any way there can be an option to have both original text and translation for at least the initial posts on stream pages? This is killing the links included in them. Take a look at my page to see what I mean: http://friendfeed.com/app103

Only one, an older CRT recently acquired to replace the 5" black & white that we couldn't hook the DTA box up to. My husband is the one that watches it, as he's the only person in the house that still watches TV.

I changed it from yellow to mint, so it doesn't clash with the yellow for comments made by people you follow, used in AJ's theme. Replaced it with rgb(220,255,205)

Awesome! I wish a feature like this was built into browsers by default.

I was going to suggest that. Just make sure you to a proper 301 redirect or you could get slapped by Google for duplicate content. I wouldn't worry about the TLD confusing people all that much, unless you are a special education teacher. For a personal website, as long as it's not a 20 mile long URL, it will work just fine.

It's possible to use a picture of your face without using a picture of your face, Kol. Don't think for one minute I'd use a pic of my face without altering it...a lot. The Mucha style is what I used: http://morph.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk//Transformer/

The problem with coffee is that if you pour a cup and forget about it a bit too long and it gets cold, it's nasty. At least with tea it's still drinkable.
