Because in IE and Opera (and probably KHTML-based browsers, but not Gecko-based), they will interpret the HTML slightly differently in order to jive with modern standards (Strict DOCTYPE) or older backwards compatible methods of rendering. The benefit of using a strict a DOCTYPE is that subtle...

To me, it does not matter either way. As DM, I could always just ignore players rolls that aren't sent to me.

Should have single buttons for main die rolls and be able to type in a die string with mods when doing a custom one (1d8+5+5d6, for example). Takes a bit too long to get a dice roll out. Also, for simplicity, dice rolls should always be broken down internally and over the network. The...

Ummm... what is the point of 7 procs if they shouldn't be used for game control, AI, and physics? What else is there besides audio and video? Why not SLI in another video card or add a nice dedicated sound card in the mix? What gaming benefits does this architecture provide?

My guess is that they are worried that it might draw players into RPGs from the much more lucrative CCG market.

I'm really surprised at the multi-threading comment. What about the Cell architecture makes it deficient at multi-threading? Why can't the multi-threaded features be replaced with multiple process an inter process communication? Anyone know? From what I've seen of Suare Enix's lineup, I...

Your best bet is to use a background image tiled to make it appear like a bar. Here is a good start: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/ Also, here is a primer on DOCTYPEs: http://www.ferrysoft.com/developmenthowtousedoctype.htm . The one to look at is the Strict DOCTYPE. IE will...

What I would like to see (alot more ambitious, I know) is a mapping program that let you zoom from street level up to world level fluidly. Probably not worth it for the tiny RPG market, but the code could have other uses as well. Basically you would start with broad strokes, perhaps drawing or...

That would be useful (I think what you are describing is similar to Mac's Expose if I am understanding you correctly), but it wouldn't replace being able to have all the windows there to look between at all times. I just wish Windows wasn't so difficult to customize in this manner.

Honestly, the best thing I could possibly see is a window manager that allows you to open applications and add them to a single interface. Would be tabbed and support dockable and tabbable toolwindows. Also have slideouts. This would allow the DM to use the programs he likes using but...

More importantly: 1. What browsers need to be supported? 2. Are you using a strict DOCTYPE (this drastically changes the way browsers render things and usually should be used)? 3. What kind of background does the nav have? Tileable? 4. Is the layout liquid or static? (does the nav bar change...

Actually, I think that method will make it 110% the height of the viewport, not the content. And it will cause a scrollbar to appear. If it works in IE, I presume it would work in other browsers as well. IE is the worst browser for height support, sometimes sizing a box to fit the content...

Again, this is the kind of misunderstanding that makes people accept the DMCA so readily without question. You CAN modify any song, movie, or work of art that you purchase. You simply cannot distribute it. This is called fair use. Same law that allows you to rip a CD to your computer for...

Actually, yes you do have the right to modify all the copyrighted material (IP) that comes with it. The DMCA provides MS the right to secure their IP and removes your right to circumvent that security. But you do still have the right to modify the IP. Semantics maybe, but still fairly...

While I'm not a mod, politics does cover more than Right wing/Left wing. A view on censorship is a political view. I suppose it depends on which semantics the board regulations were implying. And anyway, everyone knows censorship is bad. :)

PHB only. Anything else is on a case by case basis, and often rejected. Depending on the campaign, might also include custom material or pulled material specifically designed or used for the mood. When I do it, it's for keeping the game simple and creating the right type action. Sometimes I...

I actually started up a Ravenloft campaign for the express purpose of working towards this adventure (modified, of course, for an actual RL campaign and not a one shot). Unfortunately, I have been away from my group for over a month now and maybe permanently, which makes me sad. I am still...

Now that most PCs nowadays supports booting off of USB drive, you can just install an OS to the USB drive in the first place. DSL (Damn Small Linux) is good for smaller drives. Otherwise you can use the Debian mini distro or various other things.

As for the page-stretching navigation, you need to use fuax columns. Something like.... div#navi { width: 25%; float: left; margin-left: 1% } div#content { margin-left: 27%; margin-right: 1%; float: left; width: 70%; border-left: 1px solid #000; }...
