You can maybe talk to your DM. You can see what his point of view is. You may be surprised to learn he'd be willing to give you some creative control over his game or hand you the reins. As for modules, there are lots of bad modules out there. The Paizo ones are quite good, as are many of the...

Windows versions and activation The legality of what version of Windows is murky, at best. Keep in mind I am no lawyer. OEM is designed only for system builders. You are on your own for support (you can't call Microsoft). Recently a post on Zdnet indicated that amateur system builders /...

I do occasionally saute steaks in a pan. Seriously, it's freaking cold right now (-1 F this morning). When I do it, I use the Alton Brown way: Pan Seared Rib Eye Recipe : Alton Brown : Food Network

shredded pork, mmm. I won't claim that I know what Southern bbq is but I do like low and slow cooking over a fire. I have a Weber grill and usually the fire is much too hot.

No, I understand. You're a busy professional. You may not have time to muck with Linux. But you'll never know until you try. As to your direct questions, Windows XP 32 bit usually recognizes around 3.5 GB RAM so that ram is not wasted. I assume 32 bit Vista is the same. With RAM ideally you...

Mmmm Chicago style pizza. I have only had the knock-off stuff, but it leaves me stuffed and satisfied. *drolls* Buffalo wings. I prefer the ranch dressing, rather than blue cheese.

Google Chrome has a lot of way to go still. For your old notebook, how about Linux? Even if you don't like it, you're not out much, other than your time. If your type of person who likes to tinker, it could be right up your alley. It will not run any of your applications, but the open source...

Very good advice so far. There is a common saying that upgrading a PC isn't worth it. You can buy new and get faster, better components. I don't necessarily believe that. At some point, the upgrades can easily equal a new PC, however. It's pretty clear that you need more hard drive space for...

I remember "secret life" on Food Network when they talked about Cincinnati chili. One of my favorite episodes. Utah has probably only three regional foods. Jello Funeral Potatoes The first two are common since Utahns typically have big families so you can serve a lot of people affordably...

Any latent political messages that you saw? While I enjoy good relevant allegory, usually it's poorly done.

Just to throw a monkey wrench into the discussion. My mother, who is 56 years old, liked BSG, too. She doesn't like sci-fi like Star Trek or Star Wars, or military shows, period. There was something about being a survivor that she liked, I guessed.

I was watching the Travel channel's "Best Fried Foods". They were talking about chicken fried steak and white gravy like they are exotic foods. I have ate chicken fried steak and white gravy all my life. However, I have also lived in Utah all my life, which is nowhere near the South. We never...

Since the new Caprica prequel series starts soon, I figured I'd start a new thread based on it. We know that Caprica prequel is 58 years before the current time in the the new BSG series time. On the main themes of the series is that this happened before. We also learned the final five cylons...

And I thought sleeping bags smelled bad on the outside.

Wow. What a story! Hopefully none of the cable dudes act like the Cable Guy. I am glad you got something working, eventually anyway. I used to work phones for DSL and dial-up support. It was no picnic, let me tell you. On-site technicians frequently blamed the DSL bridge, while the phone team...

That's an old episode. Not that I watch The Disney Channel or WoWP. *shifty eyes*

I think you guys are right about BSG; Sci Fi (now SyFy) Channel was a secret to its success. I find that odd to write because usually I can't stand any show on Sci Fi; too many lame horror movies. Firefly was due to Fox problems. So, since BSG has been gone for awhile, why didn't SyFy try to...

I hate to make the obvious comparison, but what did BSG have and Firefly did not?

Erik Mona is a Sith Lord That explains so much. I have been pretty impressed with what I have read about PF so far. I haven't read any of the modules, so far, though.

I had a previous post that was eaten. Suffice to say I agree with Umbran. Keep your novel simple. Focus your attention on Jaime Adricks and the world he lives in. I rather like the civil war angle and Nazi combo. Dieselpunk?
