Disabling safe mode can be dangerous. The mother may not be aware of this. If you do find a way to successfully disable safe mode then you could be eliminating your only way to recover the machine from a virus or a driver problem. Safe mode has saved my butt more than once. For example (this...

I don't have any other portable game systems, but I can tell you that the Nintendo DS has versions of Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior, still. It has other turn-by-turn tactical games, too.

I, too, remember Madeleine L'Engle's books as being awesome while growing up. When I was 14 or so, my uncle took me to a lecture she gave at a library about being an author. To my surprise, after the lecture was over, he walked up to her and asked her if she'd like to go to dinner with him...

Yes, sorry. They look like badges, so that's how I think of them. :)

Does anybody know if my badges will carry over to a new machine if I log in with the same account? I may be getting a new PC soon, and I was wondering if my badges will be lost or if there's something (either the account or a file) that will let me carry my DA:O badges to a new box.

When I first came across a power worded like this, I was confused for probably all of 30 seconds. I realized almost immediately that Close powers don't provoke, and I thought, "Oh, that's a neat way to make a ranged attack that doesn't provoke!" Regarding making everything clear within the...

Like a few others here, I have liked scifi/fantasy since before I can remember. I do remember reading one children's novel about a boy who received a dragon's egg and had to raise it. I do not recall the name of it, but it was part of a series of books that were all connected by the existence...

*raises hand* Female DM here! I'm a player most of the time, but I've picked up the DM's scepter before and I'm about to do it again on Monday. I wouldn't mind doing it more often if I had more time. Right now I have to carefully budget my time between Christmas shopping and DM prep...

Aw, I really liked this show. :(

The entire continent is not covered in 100 feet of snow during winter, and I get the picture that 100 feet of snow is probably also a hard winter, which they do not get every cycle. From reading the books it sounded like much of Westeros just gets really cold and dark but doesn't actually...

One of the first things I do with any PC game is go find the latest patch, so I was running 1.04 from the start. Using Windows Vista. I have been playing the game now for a few months and I had just one single crash. It was in the middle of dialog and happened after I had alt-tabbed to the...

Definitely read the books first, or at least the first book. The TV show will forever color your view of the books if you watch it first. Don't bother waiting until GRRM is done with the books because you'll be waiting a very very long time. :) Anybody know if there's any hope for someone who...

I've seen this work. For my first playthrough I kept him in my party almost the entire time (the only exceptions were where I was needed to keep a particular person in my party that I normally did not have, like ) and I used that trick a lot. I think there are specific maps where there's...

So, what did everyone name their dog? When he showed up grinning, tail wagging, and covered in blood I couldn't think of a better name than Sanguine. And I still can't. I'm on my third character, and the dog's always been Sanguine.

I know those tricks and tried most of them when the problem happened. The biggest confusion I had was when I went to the router's admin page and tried to ping Google and got nothing back at all. Not even a "Ping request could not find host www.google.com". I wasn't sure whether that was the...

The mods would probably be the best people to answer this, but I'm guessing their answer will be, "report the post, don't respond to it" and possibly, "put the user on ignore if they do this type of thing frequently." Edit: And a mod jumps in and posts a second before mine comes through. :p

I'd like to ask... 42 of what??!?!

Just saw this episode on Hulu. Have not seen later episodes yet - no spoilers for those, please. I'm wondering if the whole situation with Chloe is a way to write her out, since she appears to be an unpopular character. I started thinking about that when Young made the comment about having to...

It's not for everyone, but the pre-paid plan I'm on is cheaper than that for me. I never use more than the required $20 for three months. So a year of my phone is only $80. Some cell plans cost that much a month. I have not needed to pay more than the minimum for years because I have so much...

Okay, on my second playthrough I had some problems with the Qunari Prisoner quest... My first time through I managed to convince the revered mother to give me the key with no problems - the quest was barely a speed bump - but this time I had no points in persuasion (whatever that skill/talent...
