While I agree with the observations on both sides independently, I think the root cause of the "fighting fires" in IT is not entirely on point. The FF syndrome comes down to money in most cases. This is in the form of both Funding for Projects and Job Security. In Corporate IT, you quickly get...

All the stuff about the hardware routers with firewalls being better than software firewalls - I second (or third or fourth or whatever number I'm on now... :)). For those who want some bump in performance, a solid remote access tunnel and configurability out of the box may want to look at a...

He blinded me, with SCIENCE! :) That's awesome. I learn something new every day. No wonder it sticks so well to my fingers!

The link I put up at the top for clipping shears are a bit more expensive than the ones you can get at Games Workshop, but they are far superior in quality. Not to mention Micro-Mark is a great company to work with for miniature tools and has always done right by me in over five years of orders...

http://web.archive.org/collections/web/advanced.html One of the best tools available on the internet for finding those lost pages! Type in the address of the website in question, and many times their crawlers have hit it and archived the website in question, sometimes at many times per year...

lol I do the same thing (with using F2) but it's because I move through the files with my arrow keys. From learning in DOS and my C64, I feel more comfortable navigating some stuff with just the keyboard (tabbing through fields, files, the desktop, etc.). I'm also a fan of the slightly delayed...

Rather than using an Xacto and getting stitch runs every fourth mini, I suggest using this to clip them from their click bases: http://www.ares-server.com/Ares/Ares.asp?MerchantID=RET01229&Action=Catalog&Type=Product&ID=80334 Games workshop makes the ever-popular slotta bases (both round and...

Funny that you mention that... http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/pcs/intel-and-department-of-transportation-avoid-vista-like-the-plague-242107.php Business-wise, it's totally not ready for prime time. For a Home computer, it's really neither here nor there. If you get it for free and pre-installed...

They rely heavily on Macros for the intro, initial "how can I help you?" questions and good-bye comments. You can customize text macros to say things and enter any number of variables into the sentences (target name, your name, pet's name, mob by type's name, etc.), which saves tons of time when...

Luckily for me, I only need 3.5 rules. :) I was looking in Savage Species because the 3.5 FAQ referred me to it! Thank you both for the quick help!

I apologize in advance if this is an old, repeated topic. I've searched the WotC message boards and here for two days trying to find an example or tutorial that explains all of the details to no avail. Everyone was very helpful when I was trying to figure out Hit Points last time, so thanks...

We currently use Yahoo Groups which is free but has banner ads and the like. Not horrible amount though, and it's free so can one honestly complain? :) You get what you pay for. I've looked into Google Groups as an alternative, because Yahoo typically has poor email/web responsiveness (posts...

This just came up in my weekly D&D game - the party rogue got separated from the main group and was smacked with an AOO as he tried to retreat that dropped him past -10. We were able to retrieve the body, but we're only 3-4th level. We really like the character and the storylines regarding him...

Now <b>there</b> is a pitch man! :) Cool, I'll have to run that by him. Thanks for the link!

Not true: you level per ECL... so I become a lvl 2 cleric at 3k, lvl 3 cleric at 6k rather than lvl 3/4 respectively. You're effectively sacking an entire level for that bonus, which is not a direct transfer of 1st level for planetouched but an exponential debt curve of earned EXP, forever a...

I've been offered the opportunity to play an Aasimar in a Ptolus campaign that a friend is running. I've read every source I could find on the Planetouched (Races of Destiny, MM1, Savage Species, Planer Handbook, etc.) but obviously there is a bit of confusion across the board. The question I...

Out by my way (MD/DC) there is a company that is the guest experts on DC's NPR Monthly computer show: http://www.midatlanticconsulting.com Mid Atlantic Consulting (M.A.C. ha-ha) may be able to have it mailed to them and fixed/upgraded for you. If not, they are a part of a few Mac certified...

Yes indeed! You reminded me of another easy tip... change the default name of the SSID while you're at it! You can type in the name manually or other people who have linksys as their connection will find it, for instance. Even if the SSID is not broadcast, it will respond to a connection with...

Without knowing what model Router & Card you're trying to connect, it *sounds* like you're mixing the key with a passphrase. Here's a quick rundown that should better explain the difference so you know what you're looking at. A WEP Key -either WEP64bit (10 Hex. Char.) or WEP128bit (26 Hex...
