I have been a SimCity fan since the playing the first verison on a 286. Absolutely loved the game. Even went so far as to play hookie from life for week playing SimCity2k. Ever since the release of SimCity4 I have been waiting. Waiting for a demo just in case but finally I broke down and made the purchase. I have to give Maxix/EA a thumbs up on the out of the box. The tutorial was great, quick to the point and picked with a real game play at the end. The visuals were stunning. All in all it should have made for a great game. See the should? For some reason it was just absolutely no fun to play. Maybe the series has been played to death. Maybe they just didn’t really add anything imediately new and captivating. Regardless 0 fun factor.
So while on almost every level I would give it a thumbs up it gets a “sucked” and deleted from the harddrive.

He become as famous for his image as an outlaw figure, for playing in prisons and creating the myth of the Man in Black, his semi-official nickname.
The man will be misses but the music keep us moving on.

One more reason to like the Brithsh.
As every serious economist since Adam Smith has taught, good intellectual property policy is not the same as maximal intellectual property rights. And as every serious policymaker should therefore understand, Wipo’s objective should be good policy, not maximal rights.

Bush’s Miscalculations
I’m just pulling the same quote rc3.org, rc3.org | Lest we forget, pulled from Slate’s Bush’s Many Miscalculations.
Painful as it is to recall those planes smashing into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon two years ago this week, it’s nearly as heartbreaking to think back on the moment of nascent harmony that ticked in the wake of the attac–until President Bush decided to reject the opportunity that History thrust before him.
Remember? The French newspaper Le Monde, never one for trans-Atlantic sentimentalism, proclaimed, “We are all Americans.” The band outside Buckingham Palace played “The Star-Spangled Banner” during a changing of the guard, as thousands of Londoners tearfully waved American flags. Most significant, the European leaders of NATO, for the first time in the organization’s history, invoked Article 5 of its charter, calling on its 19 member-nations to treat the attack on America as an attack on them all–a particularly moving gesture, as Article 5 had been intended to guarantee American retaliation against an attack on Europe.
But the Bush administration brushed aside these supportive gestures–and that may loom as the greatest tragedy of Sept. 11, apart from the tolls taken by the attack itself.
We in the US really need to remember the outpouring of sympathy and support form the rest of the world after 9/11. Now contrast it with the outpouring of mistrust and hatred directed at the US today.
