  1. Internet censorship in the USA?

    You can't judge a bill solely by what it is intended for. You must look at any way it could even possibly be abused. Is there any way this bill could enable the restriction of a legitimate website, either on purpose or by mistake? Is there any way this bill could be used to censor material that the government - or, more importantly, an influential interest group or politician - finds distasteful? Incidentally, the paranoid part of me suspects that the actual target of this bill is wikileaks.org
  2. Where Ships Meet, Sault Ste Marie.

    Started a new region with this map. Never before have I constructed so many ferries! It's well done, I'm loving it.
  3. Also, if you cut all funding to a waste to energy plant, it will not produce any power, but it will burn 500 tons of trash every month. Much better than landfills!
  4. Schools and Zones

    Connections will still work, even if the edges are not reconciled. Obviously, for road and rail connections there needs to be land on both sides.
  5. Help Building a City?!?!

    You just have to keep working at it. You're not going to get millions of people in a few hours, probably not even a few days. Keep growing, slowly but steadily, and you'll get there eventually.
  6. Planet offer: Manipulating the trading market.

    I think I recall reading that once a contract is accepted, it stays in effect for 5 days before it can be cancelled. I could be making that up, though. If that's true, it should be sufficient to prevent buying up contracts and then cancelling them. You'll actually have to try to sell them at a higher price or lose all that money. If I'm just making that up, well, hint hint, MC.
  7. Planet offer: Manipulating the trading market.

    Scenario 1 is an exploit that would need to be addressed. Scenario 2 is just economics at work. Remember that it would take a significant investment to buy up the competition, which is money that could be used to further develop your city. Also, if someone realises that their resources are being used in this way, there's nothing stopping them from cancelling the deal and re-listing it at the higher price.
  8. Agriculture useful???

    this thread has a list of landmarks and their effects on commercial desirability.
  9. Agriculture useful???

    To get the Farmer's Market, you need 600 farm jobs and a residential population of 3,000. It is possible to get this reward on even a small tile, as long as you don't take up too much space with water/ other terrain. Also, smaller size farms provide more jobs, so try zoning lots of small farms instead of a few large ones.
  10. SC4 won't work... =(

    Backup your plugins, and then uninstall and reinstall SC4.
  11. Welcome to Simtropolis! Avenues are only available with the Rush Hour expansion, which is included in SimCity 4 Deluxe. There is no other way to get them. Also, most everything on the STEX here requires Rush Hour as well; it's really a worthy investment!

Eventually I think the borders of the district are going to be enclosed with skyscrapers.
  13. Q:Dealing with Trash

    The Maxis W2E will still burn trash even without any funding. It won't produce any power, but you can burn quite a bit for free just by setting the slider to zero.
  14. Can't find the CD

    I have Vista x64, everything runs fine. I didn't have to do anything differently than with XP.
