Gac kicks total butt. I got really bad tile pulls, resulting in very few bingos, hence the low score. At one point I had K,J,V and Q on my rack, and no U, A or T to work against. I managed JOKE on triple word out of it, though. The margin narrows…
Inanis: 499 | Gac: 576
Inanis: 17 Gac: 13
I played RAZE and biZ, with the Z on triple letter. I didn’t manage to get a bingo that turn, but the Z helped make up for it.
Running Windows XP (2k maybe)? Try to boot your computer and all you get is a background with no icons, no taskbar, no start menu and just a mouse cursor? Try this:
When you try to boot your computer: all you get is a background with no icons, no taskbar, no start menu and just a mouse cursor. If you try to launch explorer.exe manually from Task Manager, you get “explorer” could not be found or “explorer.exe” could not be found.
A registry key that handles how the Windows shell (explorer.exe) loads is corrupt.
Delete the offending registry key and reboot the computer. Use Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DEL) to run regedit manually. Then find the following key and delete it:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ Image File Execution Options\explorer.exe
Then, reboot the computer. Problem solved.
Inanis wins, by a very small margin. Gac was ahead in the early moves, but by move four, I started to sneak ahead.
Inanis: 627 | Gac: 597
Inanis: 17 Gac: 12
No big plays. A pretty mundane game, really.
… In my opinion anyways. From the Consumerist…
Circuit City Firedog Charges $40 To ‘Fix’ Computer You Just Bought
“he noticed a $40 fee on his receipt. Turns out the associate claims he had to flash the computer’s BIOS or Vista wouldn’t work. Trent writes, “Regardless of the fact that Vista booted up just fine with out the update, he was more disturbed with the fact that Circuit City would sell him a computer that they knew didn’t work, or so they say.”
I would love to have the time to make one of these and actually use it…
