I've used both, and I've had problems with both. Synergy has always had issues copying and pasting between computers for me, and ID used to crash all the time and I would need to restart it. I would recommend trying both to see which one works best for you.
I've never personally ran into any issues at all with ID. The main issues that I've had with Synergy is that it can be choppy and unresponsive at times when resource use is high, and it doesn't work well with games that use mouse look. It's still pretty good though and by far the best cross platform option (afaik).

He was beat up really bad and as of yesterday was in critical condition, still unconscious.
"Jess is still critical, but his last MRI showed good improvement on his brain swelling and his fever is coming down. Nothing is still certain, but things are looking better..."

This was broken earlier, I guess, which caused some bad TO ratings but I just did it and it worked fine for me. Still pending. 5 minutes.

Yup! My instructions in email say not to complete it until 6PM local time, though, so I've got 6 hours to wait to do it..

Has anyone done the qual for Kiana Ehsani, what's occluding what? Anyone that wants to give me a hint? Like it mentions how sometimes the pic is crooked and the boxes don't fit right but doesn't say how to mark it. And if a chair is in front of a desk and might be covering up a tiny bit of a leg is it occluding it. And if a box is labelled kitchen counters but includes cupboards in the box and an island blocks only the cupboards. How is that marked? Or the person behind a table..I'm just not clear... I feel like if I pass it it will be luck and ill get everything rejected. It seemed like I messaged requester once but no answer. Thanks! P.S. but really want to do this if I can get a better idea.
