Appeasing the lowest common denominator is a strategy of failure in the long run.

Funny, socialism works that way too.   :D

Lets all do our part in keeping HTC in business.  :banana:

If you're running a computer that was built in the early 00's, go ahead and upgrade so HTC can improve some areas that could attract new customers. :bhead

I don't think we need flashier graphics.  I think the current ground objects look fine, as I am not one of those guys who thinks graphics are king.

What I really would like is just a better, more detailed map that doesn't have gigantic pyramid mountains ever 5 miles, but does have a small hill every quarter mile, with tree lines that separate every farmer's fields, a road network that is actually a road network, complete with rivers with bridges.

When are you planning on plowing the tree lined fields?

Where would you like to drive to on this network of roads?

Don't you mean Greece. Switzerland is not socialist.

Well, I have to admit I haven't been to all of Switzerland, but everywhere I went there was universal, free, socialized medicine.  And a universal, comprehensive social welfare system.  And universal, comprehensive government run retirement benefits, and post-secondary educational funding.  And universal, government run disability coverage, unemployment coverage and maternity leave.  Admittedly the Social Democrat party is only the second largest in the country, and there is a 2 year waiting list to get your child into subsidized, state-run daycare, so it's less socialist than Germany, for example, or Sweden.

Greece actually spends less of its GDP on social programs and is lower on it's after-tax gini co-efficient than Switzerland, so you and I must be defining "socialism" very differently.  What measures are you using?

They do not have universal, free, socialized medicine. They have compulsory health insurance, which means you are required by law to purchase basic health insurance within three months of taking up residence or being born in the country. So universal yes, but not free or "socialized".

Now, enough with this Skuzzy baiting digression.

You're right.  I should have said universal, non-profit health insurance.  I stand thoroughly corrected.

You should. I live in a country with socialized health care and the difference is huge. I wish we would adopt the Swiss system.

We have socialized health care too, but I like it better than the Swiss system. 

We now return you to your previously hijacked thread.
