Silvermane, do you have any ideas on what could be the cause of the BSODs? It is possible that there is a hardware issue, but what are the odds that a hardware issue hit two PCs at the exact same time? Especially given that both were working fine on Wednesday, and the BSOD appeared the first...

I have my fingers crossed that it is simply a software issue. On the XP box I ran AVG which found nothing, then I ran Trend Micro's online scan and it found a couple of items, which I deleted. Still get the STOP BSOD when I try to boot normally. On the Win2000 box I booted into Safe Mode with...

I did run one of the XP machine, with nothing untoward found, but I think I will run full scans on both machines, to see if anything pops up.

My wife called me at work, advising her PC at home was showing a BSOD. I get home and reboot, sure enough BSOD with message STOP: 0x0000007F. I boot into Safe Mode, and it works, I try restoring to a point from last night, reboot same BSOD. Her PC is running Win XP Pro SP2. I decide to use my...

The pricing difference between the US and Canada is mainly due to the exchange rate; and also a charge for shipping. Here's a CBC story on the subject.

I don't even allow the clerics to have access to all of the spells in the PHB! I don't think there is a problem in adding new spells to a game, but you, AS DM, should be deciding which one are allowed and which are not. And even then, the spell might be available in your campaign world, but it...

The last thread I recall recommended automobile brake cleaner. I used WD40 a few weeks back on a Sharpie-stained battlemat and the Sharpie faded quite a bit although it did not disappear entirely. Then again the Sharpie stain was about 2 years old!

I have to admit, it just worked! I plugged it in, turned it on, and I could surf the web! I did have one problem which took me a couple of weeks to figure out, that was getting the wireless to connect to my network instead of my neighbour's. I forgot that I had my D-Link router running in...

I'm no longer a "wannabe", I'm an official newbie!! :) I picked up a 17" Intel iMac a couple of months ago.

I've only been to GenCon once, 2002, the last year in Milwaukee. To answer your first question, is it worth $1000, I would have to say yes. I went with two friends, and we had a great time. Went to the Safe House a couple of times, went to a nice brew pub, and visited a dingy bar with cheap...

Yes. For me, I feel an obligation to not support people, companies, or organisations whose actions or words I find to be unethical or immoral. Luckily, I have found very few people in the RPG industry whose comments have offended me to the point where I have boycotted their work. In fact...

I would love to buy PDF versions of Dungeon, but at a better price than what Paizo has them listed on their web-site ($5 vs $7 for print copies). For $3, I can see buying a lot of PDFs.

No. I would love to go back to the meld of AD&D and 2E that I played for many years. Conceptually, I like the feats and skills of 3.x, but I find the game gets bogged down with too many rules. Combat is oftem tedious instead of exciting, and creating a 10th level character takes me a couple...

It's difficult to get the group together due to conflicting schedules. Also, there isn't a choice that covers household stuff. Cleaning up, washing cars, grocery shopping, paying bills, etc, etc. This stuff usually gets put off until the weekend so I cannot simply leave it all to my wife! And...

16 years with the Canada Revenue Agency, come October. I am supposed to be chasing down debtors, but instead I was webmaster for our office intranet for 5.5 years, and am currently on an assignment until September doing something that resembles Systems Analyst/Project Manager/Report Writer.

Without a doubt, yes. I will do my best to avoid purchasing product from people I think are jerks. I apply this to non-gaming purchases at bricks & mortar stores as well. I don't necessarily buy from someone I think is nice, just because they are nice. But I will be predisposed to buy from...

It's a good day to die.

It could be the NTDETECT.COM file on your CD is corrupt. Or the BIOS on your laptop might need to be set so the CD-ROM boots before the hard drive?

You have to remember that the show ran while the Vietnam War was still fresh in people's minds so Alda pushing the anti-war side agenda was topical and important. As for your friends, I find it hard to believe that they are insulted by the behaviour of characters on a sit-com. It's not like it...
