Top 10 Rulers in History

There have truly been many great rulers in history. Some managed to conquer the world, some managed to end violence and put their countries into periods of peace and stability, and some changed not only their nations, but the world. Here are history’s greatest rulers: 10. Hitler hitler460 Yes, that’s right. The creator of the Nazi party, the man responsible for mass genocide during World War II, was indeed a great ruler. Germany was in bad times when Hitler rose to power, and Hitler was the charamistic leader that the Germans could look up to.

When I came up with this list of the top ten time travel movies I set some parameters. The movie must have time travel central to the plot. And when you think of the movie, the theme of time travel must jump to the forefront. So movies like Austin Powers, International Man of Mystery were dropped from contention, because even though Austin travels back in time, the theme of time travel isn’t prevalent in the movie.

Likewise, “time loop” films were excluded, such as Groundhog Day and Run Lola Run. While all these films were excellent, I wanted to stay true to actual time travel. If you have any additional time travel movies, please leave a comment. If you wish to create your own top ten list, please submit it to TopTenz.net. 10. Butterfly Effect “Nothing’s all better, okay?

GoDaddy to Stop Offering Chinese Domain Names

GoDaddy is explaining its decision — announced today — before the Congressional Executive Commission on China, which is holding a hearing related to GoogleGoogleGoogle and Internet control. During the hearing, GoDaddy’s Christine Jones explains that the decision has to do with new requirements that require .cn domain registrants to provide a headshot along with additional Chinese business identification information. When asked directly, Jones admits that GoDaddy was involved as a victim in the December cyber attack, which she says was “designed to disable websites that somebody doesn’t like.” She claims, however, that Google’s public acts around uncensored search did not play into GoDaddy’s decision, instead she says that GoDaddy no longer wanted to “act as agent of the Chinese gove
