Comment HIPAA (Score 1) 1307

I work in the managed IT services space, and honestly given this is a health organization and HIPAA applies, I think they're being rather nice. If you're able to build a box, connect it to the hospital network, and get a port opened to the outside world where you are potentially storing PHI (face it, you're going to end up with at least a peppering of health information in even just the subject entries let alone the details for the calendar). . . that's pretty lax on their part. Does the hospital outsource their IT support? If yes, I'd jump on the opportunity to move forward with "just providing a login", because if this works it's way up the chain you'll no doubt be taking that machine how with you soon :) If the hospital manages their own IT, you're chances are better since there's probably less worry of finger pointing in the event of a breach.

Comment it's all about precision and speed (Score 1) 568

I strongly agree here regarding speed and precise control in a fast-paced FPS. If you're a casual gamer, the difference won't matter, but if you're a seasoned, skilled competitor. . it will. The level of speed and precision available is simply higher. I've been playing FPS games on PC since ~95, and I usually play the *same game* for ~3 years. I play for ~7 hours a week on avg. (since 95) If you see you, you're dead. I'd say I'm near instantly on target over 90% of the time with the very first shot I fire. At the higher levels of gameplay, winning or losing is about predicting your target(s) behavior and staying REALLY attentive. Crazy-high levels of accuracy and speed and more like a pre-requisite. Without them, it's not a fair fight. If you still think it is, find the auto-aim feature in your console game and turn it off (if it lets you).
