PayPal Restrictions

I recently tried to use my PayPal debit/MaterCard to fund my stack at a poker web site. The charge was rejected, not because I didn't have sufficient funds, but because PayPal denies charges from gambling sites.

Personally I don't think PayPal ought to be imposing their moral standards on their clients. On the other hand, I do understand and support their restrictions on what items can be sold on eBay. It's a fine line... I say they've crossed it. (Not to imply that these are new policies, this has been going on for a while... I thought I vaguely remembered a post here when they first started imposing the restrictions?)

What do you guys think?

Libya: "Did you even try?"

Haha... I found this amusing.

I think Spain has the best flag, even though it only got a B-. Maybe a bit too detailed.

Outstanding free host

Anyone who is in need of a free web host might like to surf on over to http://www.100webspace.com/freeplan.html. You can host a domain, yourname.com for free there(of course you have to pay the registration fee for the domain...). They offer 1Gb bandwidth and 100Mb of disk space as well as php with 1 mysql database(2mb). Pop3 accounts, frontpage extensions and other goodies make it the best free host i've found. Accounts expire after one year, but you can apparently renew them for free.

I have found it perfect for my situation because I've owned ryanmorley.com for a while, but didn't have enough interest in maintaining it to pay for hosting. It's nice to have a place to dump images and things you know.

If you don't have your own domain name, they give you a yourname.freeunixhost.com url. That url is also usable while your name servers propogate if you use a domain.

...just thought I'd share
