A huge recommendation for Stephen Erikson from me as well, but unless you like Objectivism, fifty-page monologues about Objectivism, mysogyny, rape and noble goats then avoid Goodkind - it's a horribly badly-written rip-off of the Wheel of Time crossed with Atlas Shrugged, with gratuitously lavish scenes of sexual abuse.
As someone from the UK I've come to the conclusion a Paul presidency would be a win for me - I agree with a lot of his foreign policy ideas, and FP is where the president has the most influence. I think most of his domestic ideas are, well, naive and simplistic is a polite way of putting it, but he'd be less effective getting them implemented, and they'd affect the rest of the world far less.
Much further. Civs, units, technologies and wonders can be changed via editing their respective XML files, there's an in-game world editor which can adjust terrain, cities, civs and units and import and export maps, Python can be used to customise the interface, write map generating scripts and script events in-game, and there's an SDK which allows you to modify almost everything else - the first big thing I saw it used for was a mod called Better AI which tweaked most of the AI's behaviour based on the strategies players used, made opponents much tougher, especially in the early game.
There are a whole bunch of different games based on CIV written with these tools, one I played was Fall From Heaven, and this was years ago, not sure what's happened in the mean time:)
About equal IMO. I spent way more time playing II, but that was just because I was at uni lol. And with IV there are so many customisations out there you can play forever. Couldn't stand III at all, not sure I ever finished a game before getting annoyed.
Does remind me though, I've got V at home, should actually start playing it!
Well, you can create a live ID using your Gmail address. I've had my ID tied to several email addresses over the years, none of them anything to do with MS.
Further research and development to lower the price would seem the obvious thing to do. Drop the price by a factor of 66 and it would cost the same as the NHS spends on an individual over 75 years, so it would then be worthwhile. That point would in reality be reached sooner given increasing costs of medical treatment and the presumably increased tax income from a longer working life.
Rationing/triage is a feature of all medical systems, not just "socialised" ones. Your example is ok at explaining this, but doesn't really help with discussing the more general issue of health care provision.
Except of course, that CRA loans were a small part of the sub-prime crisis, and had a lower default rate than non-CRA loans, which shows that the banks did indeed fail to give due diligence.
Because Myspace was barely a social network at all? And apart from Myspace's lack of features, narrow demographic appeal, horrible homepages and constant technical difficulties, it lacked anything like the push notion of Facebook's news feed. Really, the two are hardly similar at all.
Oh come on, the FCC's regulation of the spectrum is something that corporations pushed for in the first place - look at how the AM radio market was locked up, and any FM market suppressed at the behest of the same corporations. If you think the industry wants a free spectrum you're ignorant of the history of radio and the FCC.

Try Terry Goodkind! It's all those forms of rape, plus added mysogyny, abuse and Objectivism!

This would be GRRM who didn't write a book in over five years, then admitted he'd screwed up the plotting and had been trying to rescue the story?
I like all the books; the pace is different during that period, but that's what you get when you're writing such a huge, sprawling epic.
Don't overestimate how many companies care about 0.001% of the market though.
Thanks, I'd not seen that option last time I checked the preferences :)

If you do get it, Civ Fanatics is where all the mods and modding community is.

Coca farmers in Columbia have done the same thing with their plants in an even more primitive way.
You can do a lot with the for command, but it's got some horrible syntax for the more powerful stuff.
for %i in (*.*) do move "%i" "%i.old"
Because of course, there are no teacher's unions in the UK *rolls eyes*
I'm not sure you realise 6 out of the 10 largest pharma companies aren't US companies.
Sadly losing my moderations here, but this is well worth reading if you want to understand what Iran could quite easily do.
I'm guessing not from what I've read. You need a Microsoft Live ID to sign into Microsoft Live and use their services :)

Someone been watching Yes, Minister recently?
Glibertarian may be my new favourite word. It's definitely on a par with Randroid :)
Actually zooming in beyond the Planck distance is the same as zooming out from the Planck distance - see T-duality.
