I thought it was "doctor Donna."

social and cultural anthropology has been used by sales and marketing corps for a very long time. This is another step in the direction of using tools to manipulate us. As long as massive, ubiquitous, and invasive advertising is permitted, that will continue. (I consider calling my 'home' phone to 'sell' me something as intrusive marketing - unless I may return the call to the CEO's private line, unscreened, and speak with him or he

I have been using opera, and then the tailored version of opera called 'pale moon,' for about six months now. I have not experienced the text scramble you describe. OS is Xp, and that may be the reason?

Suggest you do some on-line research, than hit the Rural Ag. support sites. Then hit Cornell University ('upstate' New York State) for their Ag info (best). SO much depends on what climate you are in as that determines what range of species of bees are likely to be about. Although with global warming, the 'reach' of the nasty types from the tropics has extended further north and south.

The Smurfette declares national day of mourning for brave Caelon.

have a safe trip, my friend, ...be well, ... and come back and let your lizards' roar all over our little dom3 sandbox.

Most desired feature for me would be intense and extensive ability to customize the game at world creation phase -so as to increase unpredictability, and re playability.

Yes, I totally agree with this. Trade offs. yes. its what sid meyer said, many times, in discussing his design approach. He called it "interesting choices.' Same dance, different tune. The player, being presented with interesting choices, trade offs is what, for me distinguishes an 'OK' game from an awesome game. The game can have mind blowing graphics, intuitive and easily used interface, great items, story, etc -but if there aren't i

kantok...Only thing that will fix the US economy (and the people!) is casting a spell to create an ultra size development diary. Such a diary would have several interactive parts: Actual taxes on the uber-rich, and actual taxes on-uber corporations, and a massive government program(s) to employ people, akin the the new deal. Yea Iceland! Boo plutocrats! People matter more than dollars. Oh, and casting this spell would also give us much a better view into whats go

Rumors abound in the palace district of dissent towards the current war party in power. No official word form the big icicle, but prevalent rumors suggest the jarls would be amenable to peace overtures and naps with c'tis. In other news: The current head negotiaitor has ben reassigned to head up an expedition in sunny Dimsdale. New negotiator is rumored to be a no-nonsense, skinshifter of few words. "I don't believe in using words as tools of deception.

The icicle times: The Smurfette hails the bravery of the C'tis defenders who relieved the siege of their castle and obliterated the main Jarl army. Even being twice born availed the jarls nothing. Darkness cast on the battle spelled (pun) the end of the Jarl's fighting chances. Many high level items lost to C'tis as well. The C'tis have carried the day.

Most important factor is what software you wish to run, and what software you may want to run in, say, the next 18 months. The actual machine is secondary. The software decision is first. Next, why laptop over a desktop? Generally, for the same money, one can get 'more' in a desktop than in a laptop. Laptops are more convenient in their increased mobility. But the cost to miniaturize so much of the innards costs. Aslo, desktop are gene

Ah, rings, and things.. I do so love pretty jewelry. I am seeking nature and astral gems. Anyone interested in trading?

Which Dune.. several movie versions.... (just curious..)

Its scary, I have seen, and truly enjoyed all the movies mentioned above so far. My top five: Modern Times (Charlie Chaplin) **King of Hearts Thelma and Louise Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood All About Eve

Its about the human costs of your supposed freedom, Diawa. Every time the free market is allowed to be free of govt 'influence,' a few creatures get monopolies or oligopolies going, and crush competition. And prices skyrocket. That is a fact of history - not a fantasy. Robber barons are leeches - like it or not. Now, i like a market as a mechanism for trading goods and services. ((BTW, go read the classical Greek philosophers comments about the folks who

Diawa, i disagree with you. The problem is the massive cuts on social programs, coupled with massive cuts to taxes on uber rich, coupled with massive tax give a ways to uber corps (the corporate welfare expenses), are destroying the fabric of the USA. You can parrot all the 'get govt small,' so the 'free market' can work, all you want. You sound like the Tea party. However, saying it over and over again won't make it true. The free marke

currently have AMD Athlon 64x2 dual 5200+ . 2.70 GHz, 2.00GB ram. Case = Coolmaster 'armed with honor' tool free installation. ATX mobo, ieee1394 firewire, ubs 2.0 x 2 Could this case be used to upgrade to something like i describe above? several people have said its not difficult to assemble your own PC IF you can follow directions. I can... I'm just lost in what goes with what.&n

While SotS is just below DW, (my fav), and while i really enjoy the challenge of the 3D galaxy - I hate the circular tech 'screen.' I wish they would make it optional, and user customizable.. and give us the option to use a flat tech tree like in civ, or whatever.

agree wholeheartedly with crystlshke. Currently, I use hats, boots, poses and backgrounds to distinguish, visually, the different types of troops i train. Wish there were more options in this area....

Plenty of money in usa - its just concentrated in hands of uber rich because taxes have been cut on uber rich continuously from the Reagan administration to the present. Plenty of money, just in the wrong pockets. Even Obama betrayed the common people by cutting the safety net and cutting taxes on uber-rich. US govt cut taxes, again, on uber rich / uber corps. Then says we can't pay our debts, so lets cut aid and medical to the poorest of our citizens, the
