easy to follow
This book is easy to follow and offers good examples and suggestions on creating a sound network. I recommend this book to small businesses for understanding how to best protect computer activities and sensitive information from hacking, fraud, etc. with detailed description for improvment.

Not bad
3 of 5 found this helpful During the PS2's lifecycle, the FPS genre as a whole has been surprisingly underwhelming for the system. Sony's own Killzone was supposed to change all that, being labeled a "Halo killer" when first unveiled. Well, here we are only a few years later, and the original Killzone is still pretty underwhelming itself. Killzone puts you in the shoes of one of four playable characters as you battle in an interstellar war. What sets Killzone apart from other FPS' is the game's very well done story and ideas. The game's story alone will make you want to get further into the game to see what happens next. Whether or not that happens though is entirely up to you. The single player mode is lengthy and is heavy on action elements, but there are a number of noticeable glitches and bugs that mar the graphics and gameplay. Thankfully though, the multiplayer mode is pretty sweet, even though there are some lag problems when you take Killzone online. The game also features some great cinematics and voice acting to boot, but it's just a crying shame that more time wasn't put into getting the bugs out and getting rid of the overly generic feel that is prevelant throughout the game's length that would have made Killzone something special. All in all, Killzone isn't a bad FPS for the PS2, but one can't help but feel disappointed after playing it. Hopefully Sony's next installment for the next-gen will be every bit as drool-worthy as it seems to be.

great finance textbook
This is a great finance textbook. I dreaded this course but the moment I started working through the material in the book it all came together. Very well written and excellent explanations of concepts that seem intimidating but once broken down are quite simple and straight-forward. The text actually made learning finance principles enjoyable and very interesting and applicable to daily life and business.
