Play by Play: What Caused the Current Economic Crisis

deedub81 says...

^If a company wants to buy a debt package with bad loans thrown in, that's their problem.

...as long as there was full disclosure and there aren't any government sponsored organizations involved.

If that's the direction we head with more regulation, I'm all for it. The problem is the white lies and deceit that occurs when good investments, collateral, and loans are packaged together with poor investments in offshore accounts using shell companies that are labeled as "long term" and "safe" investments.

We obviously need to increase consumer protections but when it comes to the financial markets, it starts to get really wordy and many won't pay attention anyway. I digress.

Mating rituals: How to turn someone down

Krupo says...

Gah, are those her real teeth? Dunno about the drunk thing... white lies too? Those are rather harsh. Though effective. I guess the point of the video is to say "no" by saying "no". They could've probably done a serious version of this more effectively; as it stands, it's more comedy than documentary, eh?

Perhaps, though, it's greatest benefit is not in teaching people how to do the obvious, but opening their eyes.

Crysis = teh suck. Worst release ever. (Blog Entry by MarineGunrock)

The reason you sound like a noob is you can have so MANY different problems and still try and blame it all on the game. I don't have any of the problems you describe. My only problem is my video driver occcasionally resets itself, which interrupts play for about 30 seconds, and my computer has locked up a few times. Like most PC gamers with a clue, I accept that it's only been released for 72 hours, it's the most demanding game ever created, and there has not been a patch and no targeted video drivers yet. There are going to be some bugs, and spending an entire day making multiple calls to tech support expecting them to wave some magic wand to fix your clearly fucked up hardware just paints you as a clueless NOOB.

The guy probably "lied" to you because you were being self-righteous. Demanding his personal e-mail is like demanding his cell phone #. That address doesn't exist to serve you and he is not obliged to share it with you. Stepping outside of procedure like that creates huge inefficiencies when you're dealing with large call volumes. A lot of people who have to deal with the public learn to tell little white lies so as to avoid wasting time, and hearing undue sanctimony from the bleating morons who call up to dish some abuse. I'd love to do a quick poll of people who have worked in customer support and see who'd be willing to give a complainant their personal contact information, even if it's work-based.

You assume the most demanding game ever released is not causing heat problems just because your fans are on max at all times... well maybe you are wearing the damn fans out, maybe the stock cooler on your video card is not up to the task, etc. Like I said before, this is the only game that causes my video fans to spin up to maximum, so obviously it causes more heat due to rendering load than other games. I can play TF2, HL2, etc.. all day at 2560x1600 and the fans never spin up... play Crysis for 20 seconds at 1680X1050 and both cards have spun up to maximum...

Try a different video card. If you're broke, just buy a fast card on credit and return it after you've diagnosed the problem. I've experienced the problem in your screenshot, and some of the problems in your list before, and it was due to the video card hardware being basically borked. In one case the cooling fan stopped spinning, which caused heat damage due to overclocking, and in another there was a bad capacitor on the card. At any rate, there is just something about the tone of your post that really rubs me the wrong way.
