You can't see them?  I'm getting them clearly on my Mac at home and my PC at work.  Did you play with your settings?

Nope! I get the typical. "This image is either no longer avalible or has been removed by the user" message
http://imgur.com/Oy6Z6nS

If I did play with my settings I certainly don't remember it... Has the NSA been through my things again...

Here's a recopy of one of the images - you can't see this?



The only other possible answer I can come up with is that for some reason, the pathway between your ISP's servers and those used by imgur.com has been interrupted to the point that it's become unreachable.  But since the Internet uses zillions of pathways to move data around, the odds of that aren't good.  When it was still the ARPAnet and funded by DARPA (and later, ARPA), the Internet was built in a way so that if a full third of the network was somehow destroyed, the remaining connections would continue to function normally.  It was intended by the military to survive the nuclear destruction of a nice-sized chunk of the country - and that was BEFORE the 'net grew to become a global network and not simply a national one.  Today, you could probably destroy a few nations and it wouldn't even add up to a speed bump on the Information Superhighway (how long's it been since you heard THAT old moniker?  :))  ).

I think he's referring to this post:

It looks like the photos got deleted after they were posted.

"so many cards, so little money." ... ah, you said it best right there, Sparkz. The only good things about Kickstarter decks is that I've paid for them awhile ago so I keep forgetting the price so it feels a bit better, which sounds really delusional  :)

Thanks.

That red one is the University of Chicago deck.  It's designed by Philip Cheaney, the same guy who did the Amazing deck.  http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/220588101/an-honest-liar-the-amazing-randi-story?ref=live

You can reach out to the U of C Magazine online and they will send you one but you will have to make a "Donation".

Here are some pics of the courts.
