Look at the Arena quest too. It doesn't change tactical maps, but it goes through a half dozen (or so) battles back and forth between tactical maps and the strategic map without stopping (unless the player chooses the dialog choice to stop).

[quote quoting="post"] A Solution – The Shorter Version Phil Osborn 07/06/12, 11/16/13 (Note: I DO appreciate the ~200 comments so far, but how can I possibly read them all? I have tried to skim or sample from the existing logjam of comments, but it will clearly take most of a day to sort through.

Bah. This is just another example of my curse to keep finding cool things about cities after I no longer live there.
You could also just have the pin stop at the line initially. It would have to be selected again to drag it into the negative. In other words it's impossible to drag from positive to negative without first having it forcefully stop ON the line. Then you don't have to worry about hot keys.
Your two new suggestions screw poor people. You realize that, right? Mass market grocery stores make groceries significantly cheaper and concrete construction is much cheaper that old school brick and mortar, especially if the brick and mortar construction has to conform to modern building codes. Both things will pass costs on to end consumers at the same rate regardless of the consumers income level. That hurts poor people hugely and rich people not at all (e
[quote who="GeomanNL" reply="1582" id="3427213"] Adding to the solution: Perhaps we can also bring back small grocery shops, so that everyone can walk to buy his bread butter and milk, instead of having to drive there. And perhaps we can also abandon use of so much concrete and go back to building brick buildings. Those are nicer to look at as well. [/quote] Is this a serious post?
So can those of us who are willing to deal with (or actually enjoyed) the painful crapfest (i.e. un-fun old school SD beta) have the game now if we promise NOT to post complaints about the level of fun? [e digicons]O:)[/e]

And when Russia, India, China and Brazil, at a minimum, tell you to take your plan and shove it up your ass what then? Are you willing to go to war over your plan? Because that's what happens next. Our you let them out of it and your plan solves nothing.

Generally people who play accounting tricks like the ones in that story go to prison in the US too. As an example, it just happened at Goldman over the last month or so. A trader played games on the accounting of a big trade trying to hide the trade. 9 months in jail. If you're talking about the financial meltdown and why more people haven't gone to prison, well that's a significantly larger problem than simply lying in your accounting. It&

The guy wouldn't know subtlety if it hit him in the face. The story, acting and production were all great. A michael bayesque approach to movies. I liked Snyder's Watchmen myself. The slowmo action thing kinda grows old but think the movie itself was pretty
Brad's point is a simple one. For CO2 to be the primary driver of climate change it can't be moving in the opposite direction of temperature on the graph he linked. If CO2 really is primary it's not possible for CO2 to be going up while temperature goes down. What's more, temperature would follow CO2, not vice versa, if CO2 were the primary driver . None of that denies that the climate changes, than man is responsible fo

[quote who="Alstein" reply="61" id="3425628"] I don't think the real issue is the size of the countries as much as the structure, though it is a fair and valid argument to say that large countries tend to have different structures than small ones, given that large countries tend to rely more on natural resources, which by the very nature of their businesses tend to be exploitative.
