  1. Re:Coop all the way on Two-Player Games for Mixed Skill Level Players? · · Score: 2, Informative

    EQII in its lastest Live Update changed its "Mentoring" system (where a higher level player effectively becomes the same level as the player they mentor) The changes implemented make it VERY easy and userfriendly. I use it a lot with a friend who is lagging behind me.

    There are many of us that still do have the render problem. And I, like the previous poster, didn't find the slashfix extension helpful. btw...it doesn't render wrong every time, I'd say 1 in every 15

  10. Re:Before people go nuts... on Study Recommends Mac OS X as Safest OS · · Score: -1, Redundant

    We can discuss statistic and scientific method till the cows come home... the study is clear on one point Linux didn't top the list...in fact quite the opposite, no amount to stats manipulation can explain that away. BSD didn't suffer, OSX didn't suffer. Don't take the victory away from the victors because of your anti MS bias....the world isn't all about Linux vs MS

    Don't forget how many horrible games sierra has published, OMG for years my firends and I woudl goto the game store see a great box, read about the game, look at screen shots, buy it and find out the play control is crap. Sierra's publishing strategy is based on flooding the market with games hoping that one will be successfull..they got lucky with halflife. Blizzard on the other hand puts all it's work into one game at a time, and they are phenominal every time

  19. Free Market Economy on Mandated Regulation/Certification for Computer Repair? · · Score: 2

    The Free Market Economy is self regulating in this respect. Those who desire to pay more for certified work can, and those who wish to pay less for uncertified work have the right to do so.

    Besides you've all taken the tests, thier paper tests, A+ doens't mean you can fix everything, nor does it make you a trustworthy business person. Think of the possiblility of the guy with lots of certs on the wall lying about what needs to be done to fix your computer....mimics may peoples fears of the auto industry.

    I just don't see how regulation will really make the market place better than it is.

    I jsut bought a house this year and for mortgage approval I was required to show my last 3 years worth of tax returns which I had saved and printed on a different computer than I originally printed from. I guess I'm glad I use TaxCut instead.
