BTW it is possible to "pin" applications to one core or another if multi-core cpus are causing problems. This tells you how. http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6168870.html IIRC, M&M V was just an extremely buggy game when first shipped. Which is probably why there's so many...

Don't hold your breath. I've not even heard any rumors of such things being released. I'd guess you're looking at a minimum of another year until a 64 gb model. Probably 2-3 years before a 128. That might speed up if the flash based HDs take off in a big way, but remember a 64gb Solid State HD...

Well what do you want the cohort to do for you? The mystic theurge cohort you spec out seems ideal for buffing and support spells. I'd drop the Spiked chain bit though. There's a lot better things for casters to be doing in combat and with the feats required to make effective use of the Spiked...

There are actually about 5-8 versions of Vista (one of the complaints about it). The 64 bit version has no advantage for you and likely would only be a liability. It is only useful if you need to run applications that can benefit from more than 4gb of Ram (that's what the 64 bit gets you, a...

Huh? I have read several books on Apple and while I know he does care about how stuff looks and feels, the company's problems in the late '80s were hardly due to lavish spending on purely cosmetic features by Jobs. He left Apple in '85. So you might want to go back and re-read some of those...

Woz was great, but he hasn't been a part of Apple since the very early '80s (he was seriously injured in an airplane crash) and he's had no roll in Apple's since then. So he has had nothing to do with their revival in the past couple of years at all. Also it's somewhat of a myth that Apple...

Well I don't believe you should ever let a PLAYER die and you might be liable for some sort of manslaughter charge if you did, irregardless of if they made a mistake. ;) Legal advice aside, it's perfectly possible to run a terrific campaign where character death is essentially banned, you...

I think he's talking more about random background details (ie. the tree is green) more than actual plot hooks (ie. your sister has been kidnapped). Also I think a good reason to avoid excessive background details is that there's a strong tendency to want to use stuff you've invested a lot of...

Don't feel like you have to have a grand over arching plot from day one. I know with my characters it always takes me a while to get a good "feel" for the character and for a "personality" to really develop for a character. In part because one of the things that defines a character is the...

1) EN World is a resource use it. Read story hours for plot, BBEG and NPC ideas. Pay particular attention to SHs that are using your setting. Even if it isn't a good read, it may still have ideas you can use. Some DMs have suggestion threads for their campaigns, where people suggests...

It looks like it was less a design decision than a financial one. AT&T's 3G network was not ready when they first introduced the iPhone and since they were the ones willing to meet Job's terms for the iPhone, the iPhone 1.0 got built for AT&T's EDGE network, not 3G. There was some talk about...

Another thing is that at medium-high levels lots of monsters have greater than or equal reach to that provided by the spiked chain, which negates the reach advantage. The spiked-chain seems mostly to me, to only be "too good" if you permit pcs to run things like a large creature that's enlarged...

While there were Windows emulation packages for pre-intel macs. They were much slower than the current generation of intel mac emulators and had little or no support for any sort of 3d graphics. Most of the current intel mac emulators have at best weak support for 3d graphics/direct x and they...

We had a Gelatinous Cube Monk face off with an awakened Bull member of parliament.

This simply isn't true. Dying even with easy access to rez, means a loss of resources, perhaps all or some of a character's magic items, if Raise Dead a level loss, which is quite a hefty penalty. It also means failure, defeat and/or humiliation. Things almost all PCs hate. Lots of players...

If you're traveling to link up at lvl 1, it might not make a difference, since you won't have much of anything to be damaged. In general, if you know you are going to die a lot, it's a good idea to remove your equipment and carry it in your bags. So that you can avoid repair costs. Your...

Well at least someone else's character died for once.

It wasn't so much of a surrender, more a bribing of the dragon to let the remaining PCs go. We just happened to be bribing him with the lives of Gareth and Nameless. It only cared about the dragonmarked characters and most of the group had proven to be of little threat to the dragon. So it's not...

Some cards require an additional power connection. Usually it's the same connection as for a Hard drive or the power supply has a dedicated connector for this. Most lower end cards shouldn't require it, but I did just install one that did and it wouldn't function until the additional power...

The only really great thing about the first movie was the Queen Theme Song. The rest of the movie was average at best. So there are far worse candidates for a remake. I have given up being surprised at Hollywood remaking movies though. I suspect they ran out of ideas about 10 years ago.
