we do live in interesting times.

[quote who="LightStar" reply="3" id="3637398"] That's OK Elana, I didn't even know there was such a thing as free web hosting until I did a search. The only one I found that looked interesting for me is at https://www.freehosting.com/ . I emailed them with a few questions I had as I am interested in opening up a new site too.

When we stopped dealing with our neighbors (main street) for our shopping, we embraced the abyss. "Corporations' milk the 'masses.' Yes, we hope the corporation will 'vet' the products. But there is way too much money to be made 'off' skimming the multitudes. When word finally gets out to enough people, the perps walk free, bcuase its a corporation that did it - not actual flesh and blood people. Until we create a system that does not

cash i so much safer. too bad the rulers want to eliminate physical cash and make it all 'electronic.'

I play on smaller maps...

Hey Lar, did not know about the communitas patch for civ 5. Checked it out because of postings here. It is way better! Thanks. BTW, I also noted two new DCLs, the scrambled map and nations. They worthwhile?

[quote who="willistuder" reply="20" id="3638541"] I guess that you didn't have to buy an adaptor, then. Is that true? If so, that's great. [/quote] yes, not need adaptor. Yea! :) :) :)

[quote who="DMF" reply="16" id="3638692"] How many $$ ? [/quote] $170US

Yes, laptop arrive. Win 7 (and free win 10 :( ) does what I need, basic, easy etc.

Oh, yes. Sorry, I did not subscrinbe to this post - so forgot. Yes, cheap dvd player that playes mods dvds from anywhere except china. Thanks again for pointing me in right direction. Now I just have to figure out how to make copies of a few DVDs I own so that i don't lose them when they wear out. My grandkids watch a few of them fairly often. :)

[quote who="Excalpius" reply="13" id="3638303"] Quoting ElanaAhova, reply 12 The swiss just voted this down. The Swiss always vote these kinds of social referendums down the first 2 or 3 times, before they approve them. It takes time to raise sufficient awareness and educate people.<br /

:) always helpful advice!

You raise one of the basic issues of our civilization: the impact of AI. You then go to a secondary issue, the sustainability of a 7 billion human population where the continual cycle of replacing human labor with machine labor intensifies. This cycle really got got going with the industrial revolution. There many workers lost their jobs to 'more efficient' machines. They threw monkey wrenches into the gears of the machines in a vain attempt to prevent losing t

I'm not meaning to hijack. If MS has indeed changed the "x" to mean yes, I want this; and since it is universally understood to mean the opposite, "NO," then why hasn't anyone brought legal action against Microsoft-gate? And where is Anonymous now? Talk about an appropriate target...

I don't know the specifics of your purchase. But if the registration key has already been used, then the 'second hand' vendor sold you a defective game: (no valid key = zero value of item). If above is true, then vendor should refund all you money including any shipping charges, and tax. It the vendor's 'bad.' If vendor won't - report them. Be sure to find out the physical location of vendor and then report them to Better Business Bure

One of the last of the statesman like 'news' announcers. Good night, and good luck, because that's the way it is. RIP Morley. May your memory be an inspiration.

[quote who="Primal_Savage" reply="2" id="3636025"] The last two on your list aren't likely to get huge discounts. "Mare Nostrum" was released April 2016 so forget about getting a good discount on that one soon. Outside chance for some decent discount during the Summer Sale. "The Cossacks" was released in December 2015, I suppose it will get a decent/good discount during the Summer Sale. The rest will likely get the usual 66% to 85% discount at one point or another.
