Also be mindful of the liveries if you're going for real life locations -- such as WestJet and Southwest 737s together with Austrian and Lauda 737s (although WestJet and Norwegian are running 737-800s across the pond now...)

I'm not really sure what you mean with this, as I can't really remember any other nuclear state behaving in such an overtly hostile way; South African may have had nuclear weapons, Israel and Saudi Arabia probably have, and India and Pakistan have -- a bit back and forth with their neighbours of course, but nothing of the sort that Kim puts up. However: Ukraine used to have them, and they traded them for a Russian "guarantee". And that's what Kim sees: Placate your interested major power -- be it Russia for Ukraine, US/NATO/EU for Libya, or the US for Syria, and they will turn on you. He also lives in the shadow of Chinese statecraft, which dictates that smaller states, such as Korea, are either cordial allies to be nurtured while defending their guardian's interests, or hostile states to be subdued in any manner possible -- be it militarily, economically or diplomatically. Couple that with years of sanctions, and you have the perfect recipe for a Hitler-style bunker syndrom. Are the North Korean missiles pointed at Guam the same as the Third Reich ghost brigades when the Russians closed in on Berlin in 1945? Kim is as unstable as Kim is; that family kidnaps chefs and actors with subs off of Japanese beaches, for heaven's sake. While Mr Trump certainly seems more like a five-year old trying to rule his bedroom than a president, I do feel that we're still at that point with him as we were with Vladimir Putin shortly after the Crimea takeover, where it was alleged that Mr Putin only ruled according to one-page memos set in 18pt fonts... And look at him now, like an Obama just presiding like a dictator light over a bankruptcy estate (according to some European media outlets). Mr Trump has taken a lot of losses as president, and he will continue to. It should just not be broadcasted. However, he might give the impression that "fire and fury" will bring a bloody end to the North Korean regime, but I doubt he'd be willing to commit a large number of dead American soldiers to make up for his Obamacare replace and repeal failures. If you feel you can shed some light on it, I'd really like to hear more about how it is being stationed there. What you're told before/when you're there, what you're doing, how relations are with South Korea, if one feel whether it at all makes sense being there. The only thing I've seen regarding the US presence in Korea lately was when out-of-country evacuation drills started.

Yes I suppose you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that has finished a city (unless we're talking about a faithful recreation to a specific point in time); it quite simply goes against the entire point of cities and city builders. You'd find thousands of examples of people who've given up tho

I notice the login is still plain HTTP. Considering how normal it is to reuse account names and passwords that's rather unfortunate. Any chance to secure it?

Ugly as sin! Perfect if you're a roadworker or as a life jacket, though.

That seems like an understatement. I'd like to know what media you consume if you really believe there is 'no threat to North Korea'. Note that I don't care as to why there's a threat -- the facts on the ground support a notion that pursuing the development of nuclear weapons is a rational choice for a dictatorship whose arch enemy is the US and whose main interest is the prolonging of its life. If the US truly did not pose a threat to NK it would have sought to end the conflict a long time ago. They can't of course, if you've had a cursory look at the post-1953 relationship.

Bill Clinton looked into attacking North Korea but decided against it when the generals told him about the mass casualties amongst American troops if attempted. Ensuring a first strike capability against targets on American soil is the only way to ensure that NK can counter the US threat. I'm glad it's Donald Trump and not me that have to whip out the calculator and crunch the numbers on how many deaths are acceptable. I'm also glad it's Mr Trump that's issuing the threats.

And this really is the core. The guy has spent probably hundreds of hours of his own free time for no compensation -- and then some players are going to get around to decide on how the creations are going to be handled? As much as I agree with a "custodian" feature similar to how the LEX is looking after abandoned files or how some Chinese/Japanese creators have English-language custodians for Western websites, the fact of the matter is that the community generally hasn't provided for this. And then we're back to the concerns that Jasoncw is voicing. Considering that most of us do not create anything, I think it's well worth listening to those who actually do -- after all, the community and its cohesion (as well as its presence) is mainly driven by the content creators. That being said, I seem to remember that the Barry Sanders Project /MiPro probably is one of the better candidates for what is proposed here -- few dependencies, concentrated work, quality content -- and as a player, consolidating work and perhaps dependencies would be considered very, very beneficial by me. But if creators don't want to contribute? Really, we should just steal their work?

See why it makes perfect sense for the guy to focus on nuclear weapons?

A major English Atlantic getaway with a heavy Jewish population?

Copyright law is one of the most exiting areas of the law! Now, if I remember correctly, "first sale" generally applies to tangible objects in the US and that the resale of digital goods -- the transfer of a file -- constitutes unauthorised reproduction. In contrast, in Europe UsedSoft v Oracle was a major case which upheld the right to the resale / transfer of digital goods (i.e. the transfer of the licence to use the software). Thus, in America it is technically illegal to pass on your files (i.e. redistribution is unauthorised redistribution), while in Europe I can pass on (redistribute) my single copy of your BAT file to one person, provided I do not have access to it any longer (after redistribution). This is because your copyright to your creative work is very real, whether you believe so yourself or not: The BAT is your creative work, which is protected, and the lot on which you place the BAT is your creative work, as well. --- Now, on the broader issue of starter packs / thematic packs, etc., I wholeheartedly support that. Especially in the light of the fact that there are now so many consistent related lots, e.g. New York buildings, Parisian buildings, IRM, seaports, airports and so on, it only makes sense to bundle these rather than requiring individual binge-downloading of them. However, two problems: Taking someone elses work infringes on the creator -- the rightholders' -- authorship rights; selling it, for whatever amount, infringes on their financial rights.

Question: Why did Don II believe that it was a good idea to tell the world "yeah, turns out that I did meet some Russian as they said they had mud on the Throne Pretender's opponent, I just totally forgot I spent 20 minutes with her together with Mr Manafort as I didn't think a meeting with an arch enemy's national would be a problem at all, and even if it turned out to be so shortly afterwards I hoped to shield the Pretender so I didn't mention but my brain thought this was a good moment to show that yeah, we did talk to them and thought that was perfectly OK." Seriously, Donald Trump's 1993-1999 presidency wasn't as hilarious as this. --- Oh, almost forgot: Don I is speaking of his son in nice terms. Absent a regicide, Don II is probably out soon.

Making the PDF versions would be so much easier if there was a print button or at least view single post link... However, if you're making them from scratch instead I'd think PowerPoint or a similar app would be your best bet, as it would also allow you to print full page pictures in 16:9 format from the start. If you use Word, making A4 landscape documents is probably an option too.

Fair enough that that's their answer, but it wouldn't take much effort to clarify in their ToS. As of now, if they so decide that forums are a no-go area for their users, they can just point to their terms. Seriously -- it takes one sentence in their .htaccess to make it reflect their ToS -- or one sentence in their ToS to reflect their practice. As for Photobuckets practice... I checked my webhost, and they charge USD 140 a year for 500 GB and lots of other fun things. -catty You'll find that that sentence is standard for all services that host content. Without it, some wise guy would plausibly make the case that he'd uploaded content to Google, but never allowed them to show it to anyone else, or create thumbnails, or whatever, out of his content. --- However ... one idea that I really think we all should take to, is to make PDF versions of things we want stored for posterity. ST has been around long enough to see competitors and partners just vanish into thin air -- along with all their content. Sure it would be annoying, but if Corina had her work stored away in a PDF that could be freely shared -- or with any other set of restrictions she wishes for -- it could have been a single-file back-up with all the pictures and text preserved. Inferior, you say? Yes, but a lot easier to pass around. Think about it: Services come and go, 3rd party services come and go, they change their link structure, come up with nasty pricing plans, etc.; all of us change our interests, may see our countries blocking access if they so wish, and in the end, we all die.

Jet bridges have nothing to do with the year, and everything to do with cost. Pop down to Rotterdam airport and you'll see it in action.
