Sure it's fun in the beginning. But please report back if you still find the game challenging and rewarding after a week.

Optimized for what? For which circumstances? What software fits all?

You don't control a whole country, you have on city (or now "region"). Any it's made so that Sims only move to your city if you provide everything. They wouldn't move to a new city where there is nothing, no schools, no fire department. I t

What video card are you using? Mine was apparently too old, so I'm looking for a new one.

I would imagine you wouldn't notice first, but when the scene changes half through the movie you would say "hey, somethings different now"

Maybe it's somehow like uncanny valley? It gets too realistic, but is not real, so it's disturbing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley

So? That is the opposite of "has had nothing to do with [it]".

"because we all know the Chinese government has had nothing to do with the economic boom they have undergone in the past decade." No I do not know that. Please provide a reference.

What? Ruining nature and specifically groundwater with fracking and toxic chemicals is an "amazing breakthrough"?

I wanted to say DO NOT try to build a marketplace for students to buy or sell textbooks. But looking at the site, you made that mistake already.

Please please please do not make links with just the word "here" linked. That's usability and SEO horror.

If you buy as a company Germany actually seems to be the cheapest as you don't have to consider VAT in any countries. Or am I missing something?

Some more missing stuff: does not allow to block specific days or weekdays (e.g. sundays) that should not be picked. Also time ranges (hover over a days and the next x days get highlighted) would be nice.

No ads on the Internet? Seriously, how do you think the economy would work without ads? If everyone got one of these, I could tell my boss on monday to close the company.

This is what I hate about these "I put up funny photos and slap some clever sentence below them"-style presentations. If you're not sitting in the front row, you cannot read anything.

I don't think noreply is about not wanting people to respond to your messages. It is rather a solution for all the garbage you get back when sending out email to thousands of people. You will get many many mailer deamon mails for people who

Yeah, I'd rather have several clear choices of inflexible things than fuzzy choices of stuff that is so flexible that I ask myself what to do with it.

It's good idea to take money for things that took a lot of effort and have high quality. But with all free open source possibilities in this area, I think you're right that it seems a little overambitious.

When I read "fullscreen zoom" I thought it would maybe use fullscreen APIs... so far I haven't found that. Does anyone know a lightbox that does that well (like Facebook photos)?
