    Let's have an easy way to see health built vs city size

    It would be great to have a way to see at a glance in which cities health buildings would have an immediate impact on the overall health number, and in which cities they would not be needed because there's already more health than the city size.

    Sizing issue

    I'm playing on a 42-Inch TV. The resolution is 1920*1080. When I first started the game, it looked blurry and the video output was larger than the screen. I had to use the resize command on my remote to get the output fitted to the screen, but the game still looks blurryish. Anybody else...

    McCain: Stimulus is "generational theft"

    http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/mccain-stimulus-is-generational-theft-2009-02-08.html All I have to say is that the next generation's money has already been stolen by the Bush deficit. And that, yeah, McCain's strength is definitely not his economic fluency:

    Should there be a legal mention that a picture of a person has been photoshopped?

    The thought occured to me while eating my cereals this morning, because I saw the little "enlarged to show texture" caption next to the enlarged bowl of cereals. Now I do not know if that caption is a legal requirement or not, but why not do the next logical step and add a "photoshopped" tag to...

    Do you use your home garage to put your car in?

    I've noticed this a lot, and in at least two countries (France and the US): having a garage is usually a big selling point in a house, yet 95% of the houses I've visited, the garage was used as a store room and NEVER to put the car in it at night. People just park in the driveway. So, if you...

    ... that's what SHE said! http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/21/palin-vp-senate/ And there is also a video provided in the link above. :woohoo: The senators will be pleased to hear that, and Brandon is going to fail his test. Are there seriously any people left who think she's qualified for VP?

    http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1847042,00.html?iid=digg_share So, will we have the usual oppugnant posters vilipending this apodeictic post, or will the niddering and not too nitid ones try to embrangle us with their olid writings? And more seriously (even though apodeictic is...

    Quick sport question!

    So this is totally tongue-in-cheek, guys, but when I read it it made me laugh. The question is: '"You say to anybody, 'What stadium am I talking about when I say there's a hole in the roof so God can look down on his team,' and even people halfway around the world say ______________,' " said...

    Alabama slaps a tax on fat people

    http://pokedandprodded.health.com/2008/08/26/alabama-slaps-a-tax-on-fat-people/ So, do you think it's fair? Should your health care premium be based on the healthiness of your lifestyle? Would it be any different if it was a private health care company doing that? I would tend to be ok with...

    In the 21st century, nations don't invade nations

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaNoIgfjf_o So McCain said that. (skip to 1:10 if you just want that snippet). What do you think of it? Do you think McCain made a blunder, do you think he's right, do you think the interview was edited by the left-wing media to make him look stupid? My personal...
