In the US, Louisville (thanks to UPS), Memphis (thanks to Fedex), and Anchorage (thanks to Asia - Europe air trade) are the busiest cargo airports. All have huge cargo operations, but not 100% cargo.

The man, the legend has spoken. Thank you for your review on the current status of things.

I mean gee, if your gonna break the law, do so in style, not downloading stuff a 7 year old can afford for free. Its like stealing a peace of bubblegum....quote> Not every single is available for legal purchase, thus forcing you to buy the the whole album for one song if you wanted to be 100% legal. And then you got evil DRM to deal with. Thankfully fewer tracks are coming with it.

Place them only in residential areas. Second, if your transit stops are within walking distance of most of your residential, the sims will simply walk to the station rather than park and ride. Third, if there still is very light usage, demolish the structure and build something more useful there. Cheers

Huh? ANOTHER shooting? That's said as if this is an uncommon event! Originally posted by: sakarr and they still think EVERYONE should have gunsahahaquote> You don't need a gun to murder, good man.

Nice. This thread makes me feel so much better.

Man, I was disappointed I missed that. Just snoozing away at the time...

The population of the USA is more like 300 million, but one in 129 is still high. El Burro: Hell, not just armed police, but armed rent-a-cops as well. It's common for police to carry shotguns and assault rifles in their cruisers as well.

Given how poorly and inefficient other social programs are implemented here in the States is one huge reason why there is such a bad stink about universal, 'free', socialized medicine. Originally posted by: belfastuniguyWhere the UK and US differ is that you can only be treated if you have insurance in the US.quote> This isn't true. You are less likely to be treated if you don't have insurance in the US. What can happen: person without health insurance goes to hospital and gets treated for whatever. Receives huge bill. Cannot pay it. Some fund for people without insurance pays it. No guarantees, but it does happen.

Looks great. But will someone please tell Bank of America to give unique names to their towers, please?!?!? This is really annoying me. There are already 12 existing and proposed B of A Towers.

It's okay guys. Google would beat the US gov't to Mars (with humans) anyway. But seriously, legislation like this greatly upsets me. What the hell...

Originally posted by: coolotter88 yes, many people use limewire to download limewire pro.quote>LOL...I never even thought about that. Hilarious. Originally posted by: Yoshiisland For years and years now, popular open file sharing sources like Limewire have been the basis for most music downloads. While quote "everybody" uses it, it's 100% ILLEGAL. quote> Using software like Limewire is not in itself illegal.

Oh I will laugh and that's what I'm doing right now! As much as I enjoy mocking the US and UK governments, China just went over the top. Too funny.

Originally posted by: Explodingsims As cool as this sounds, this couldn't happen anytime soon because:1. It would take way to long, It takes 2-4 years just to build about 4 miles of highway, 2. Expense, It would cost way the hell too much for some of the poorer countries to afford 3. Like He^ Said, political diffrences would bar some of it quote> 2-4 years to build 4 miles of highway? Where'd that come from? Construction time is relative to several different factors. Besides, construction would be happening simultaneously and obviously, much of the infrastructure is already in place...just missing some very key connectors, eg the Bering Strait. Funding and political differences could get worked out for the most part. I don't see the highway traversing Africa (maybe), North Korea or Burma for those reasons though.

Originally posted by: drevilshenchmanI feel that is completely unrealistic to have sprawling high tech industry because in reality, high tech industry very often operates downtown, even in the same buildings as commercial. The way high tech industry is designed in the game is one of the most flawed things about simcityquote>Much like Intel's campus of 16,000 employees in Hillsboro, Oregon (a suburb west of Portland). Hahaha. Seriously, I have to disagree with you here. 'High' rise high tech makes sense in a city like Singapore, since space is at a premium, but in the most of the USA (and I would assume almost everywhere else that's not as dense as Singapore) that's not how it is. It's best to give those trucks hauling the chips, robots, lab monkeys, etc some room to maneuver around the loading dock. And how often is high tech industry found in a CBD? I don't know, but I'll guess almost never.

Originally posted by: rodent1989 This was a failure at all levels of government. Federal, State and Local officials are all to blame in some way. Blame is futile at this point, truly all that matters is ensuring that this scenario doesn't repeat itself.quote>Oh, this scenario will repeat itself. Let's ensure it happens less often.

Originally posted by: Micah Well, I guess if you want to have an overpopulation problem, this would be the way to do it.quote> Overpopulation? Russia has one of the lowest pop densities in the world. Besides, you gotta catch up to India and China somehow!

I'm pretty sure the FAA has many regulations for that, topcliff. Just because the regs exist doesn't mean the pilots will follow them.

I'm an engineer in land development. Honestly, I enjoyed working the warehouse at Circuit City better. But it's not bad for a job right out of college.

Obviously, if money is there people will come.
