If you had looked at the service, you would have noticed that you can also manually add emails to the list without requiring a reply. So if you just signed up for a new service, then whitelist the email address.
Now if they would just develop something like this for telemarketing calls...
"Hello. You have reached my house automated answering filter service. Please leave your name and number and a brief message and I will call you back if I feel like it. Once I call you then you will be able to freely call me from this number at any time."
This game really made me think, because I made it my goal to raise the education level of my island. You know how everyone's always saying everything would be peachy keen if everyone would just go to college? Well, I found out that no matter what, you still have to have a poor laborer class, and that's about 70% of your population. Jobs for college educated folk is only about 8-10% of your total. And the poor class is lots less happy with their jobs if they have high school or - God forbid - college degrees.
Before this I sort of believed everyone could be rich. Now I know that SOMEONE has to be poor - a lot of someones.
This is like saying you are "saving money" by buying your designer clothing on sale, when you still could have clothed yourself at WalMart for a tenth of the price. Okay, maybe it's not that good of an analogy, but bear with me. Yes, internet conferencing "saves" over driving, but there used to be such things as walking or biking or sailing which were even better (though much more inefficient). To tie it all together:
efficiency = money = designer clothing
It just seems that all our technology keeps making things worse and worse, from an environmental perspective.
I am another female gamer who feels she must reply to this article. I generally do not like games like Quake and Doom. I also do not like puzzle games very much (although my father-in-law wrote a very excellent one called Morpheous). The games I do like are usually colorful and include: * Starcraft and Warcraft * Civilization * Legend of Zelda series I subscribed to Nintendo Power a long long time ago and loved it. I have not subscribed to a gaming magazine in a long long time. Before reading the article, I would have agreed that the magazines target guys because guys buy games. But now it seems that there could be a significant market sector being completely ignored by the existing 'zines. And if the magazines gave us women the info on games that fit OUR interests, we might buy more of them, then people would make more of them, etc, etc.
