What would be cool is to have zones dynamically adjust the difficult based on the number of people in the zone... more people = more mobs and more hps on the mobs.

Fyi it is not a racist statement to say that many of the illegals can live on low wages because of their living conditions... ie many people in a small apartment. This is exactly what is happening in Framingham, a town nearby to me. There are extreme cases of housing violations, not to mention fire ...

Yes, I agree with the original post for this thread, that a pre-screening system is flawed at best, and full of kickbacks, corruption, and pork at worst. I see no need for something like that, because as said illegals will still work and get paid under the table and avoid the system. I only see some...

Sorry, but the whole argument about illegals doing jobs that 'americans don't want' it bull. The reason illegals are being payed those low wages is because it is under the table and is avoiding taxes. The employer doesn't report it, and the illegal worker doesn't report it.

Well if you're buying a new PC, the way I'd suggest doing this is to get a motherboard with two PCI-e slots and put in two PCI-Express graphics boards. Best way to support this is with the nVidia nForce3 SLI x16 chipset so that both cards get full bandwidth with 16 lanes each. Set the motherboard in...

Thats why I suggested 200 charges, because I see it extremely unlikely for a Tia run with less deaths than that to occur.

For 19" there are plenty of monitors that use acceleration technigies so you should be able to get in the 8ms range.

Oh and VGA is resolution, not analog or digital. You'll want to run an LCD in digital, so you'll also need a monitor and graphics board that supports digital DVI.

Something like blur though, nope. It doesn't chip, so increasing duration would be a big upgrade to the spell.
