  1. Re:Lord of the Rings Online on Ask Slashdot: Best Adventure Game To Start With? · · Score: 1

    My daughter and I have been playing Lord of the Rings for years now. She is now 6.5 years old and early this year I set up her own Free to Play account. Her old toon on my account is now mine and she has three new characters on her own account. We can play together and she loves it. As far as scary, she just does not go to those areas and the F2P account does not allow y9ou to get into the PG-13 areas. While I don't spend monthly money on her I did spend some to get her horses. I have a lifetime account so it does not cost me monthly either.

  2. As an Engineer on 61.9% of Undergraduates Cybercheat · · Score: 1

    Interesting that they split up the groups by major but not by which classes were cheated in. As an Engineer I believe that the predominate classes that would have been cyber cheated is English and History as they drive the largest papers. It would be next to impossible to apply the same thing to a Math or Science class. Yes in Science/Engineering we do write quite a bit but it is usually based on experiment results or other factors that would be unique to the work at hand. While the internet was in its infantcy when I took these courses I would have loved to had a bit of help from the cyber world. Also I take exception the assumption that technical majors would be considered the bigger cheaters. If this is the case you would have to consider that we as a group have a less likely chance to be caught in our cheating as we know the systems better. While I agree that Intellectual Property needs to be conserved. I take no issue with an Engineer "CyberCheating" to work his way through an abortion paper that has been written so many times that it is as boring a subject as anything. And would not convey its experience towards the written word in a technical sense.

    It seems so wasteful to sell so many phones.
