ShowEQ makes the news

Hi all,

I just found this link that I thought everyone would like to read.

http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20021114.html.

Happy reading.

Would appear that the link is broken. Takes me to the PBS "Whoops!" page.

Just goto "Search" and type "Showeq"

Found it shortly after I posted, by using the search function...

They certainly paint us black, don't they?

Raise your hand if you've /never/ died while using SEQ...
/me looks around for a moment

That's what I thought... Invincible players... whatever.

I guess I missed that setting, invinciblity, what menu is that on?

/sarcasm off

An advantage? Yes

Can it be / is it abused? Yes

Would it be more abused by Windows enabled "Script Kiddie" version? Do I need to answer?

Hmm what give on the opinion of someone who probably never play EQ ... /shrug - if it would be paper -> round /dev/NULL

On the other hand it's getting press. Chances are good the most homework this "reporter" did was skimming this forum, and since he reported basically what has been rehashed here again and again (ie that measures too hard could lead towards WinSEQ) perhaps VI will take the possibility a little more seriously.

the reporter read these forums. that is more than most showeq users do.

im actually a little offended by him using the flashy everquest bit of bad guys vs good guys to lead in his pitch for thrashing microsoft.
I mean seriously, does it seem to you all that this guy has had one too many bad microsoft techs stiff him over the phone?



Microsoft doesn't have to be involved UNLESS, OF COURSE, THEY COME AS A FRIEND OF THE COURT FOR PERMISSIONED MEDIA.



...abit of bared teeth there?
