I don't think you can go wrong either option, honestly! I have the 12" Powerbook. I like the ultra-portability of it. Although I finally got an actual laptop bag, it's small enough that I could put it in my backpack when I needed to. The size of the screen doesn't bother me, but of course...

I had a similar experience once. I went to the barber shop that I've gone to my entire life. There was a new person working there, a woman, which is odd for a traditional barber shop. She was kind of shifty-looking, but I was in a hurry. I sat down in her chair. I asked her to leave me...

I think you've confused tolerance and acceptance. Don't you watch South Park? :) Lemmywinks, Lemmywinks...

Safari does everything I need it to do. -Ryan

Thanks for the suggestions. This is helpful. -Ryan

I'm going to be running an Arcana Unearthed game at some point, and I was looking for some module suggestions. I'm not even aware if there are modules specifically for AU. Are there? This will be a low-level game. Thanks, Ryan

I've been a little busy getting married and going on my honeymoon. Funny how much time these things can consume. :) -Ryan

1) As long as you didn't explicitly create the object using alloc/init and you didn't explicitly retain it, you can assume it's been autoreleased. Since we used the convenience method "dictionaryWithCapacity:" rather than alloc/init, it's already been autoreleased. That being said, I'm not...

The other thread about OGL content in software has made me apprehensive about posting everything just yet. But there's no harm in posting the parser code: http://evilscholar.wivesofely.org/~ryan/spellsearcher.zip -Ryan

I'm just glad someone else did the work of converting the rtf to xml. A monsters version, as well as a magic items version, would be awesome. -Ryan

I guess I could clean it up and make it available. :) Are there any legal issues surrounding the use of the spell list? I got it from here: http://www.dndresources.com/index.php/files/1418 -Ryan

Cocoa really is quite a nice programming environment. Just for the heck of it, I downloaded an xml doc containing all the 3.5 spells. Within a few hours I had built a simple "Spell Searcher" based on NSXMLParser that can search on any available data element (Name, Level, School, etc.). I then...

I think there should probably be a better PCGen for PC. :p -Ryan

I'd want a hex-mapper that can do this!!! http://evilscholar.wivesofely.org/~ryan/battle.jpg -Ryan

In system32/drivers/etc there are two files called "hosts" and "lmhosts". These are used to map computer names to IP addresses. Some spyware programs probably mess with these files. Jerks. :) For most Windows users, your hosts file should have only one entry: localhost 127.0.0.1 Your...

Does anyone know if the latest Safari update has improved Javascript support? I was using one of our web apps at work on my Powerbook, and I know that this particular web app uses pre-w3c DOM, IE-centric javascript constructs (because I wrote it). I was expecting it to not work with Safari...

So, umm. I just wanted to say that I've had my Mac for about 4 months now and I love it to pieces. I do not miss my PC at all. :) -Ryan

I don't really have anything negative to say about it, per se. The animation was beautiful, and the story was certainly imaginative. However, I can't even pretend that I really "got" the movie. Apparently, there's a whole subtext about Japanese culture that went completely over my head. For...

I'd question the logic of buying any console for the purposes of online play. PC is best for that. As far as "What does a console have that a PC doesn't?" is concerned, in the case of XBox, not much. If you're looking for something different from the PC experience, PS2 might be a better...

But ... Spike TV already told us what the best games of 2003 were at their ABSOLUTELY RETARDED AWARDS SHOW. :)
