    Microsoft Surface. Wow!

    Looks like it has awesome potential for gaming, but I shudder to think of what happens when you spill a coke on it...

    Embellished Islands map

    I like it, but really the map is the embellishment for the frame. Since the map is the focus, I'd like it see it take up more than 1/3 of the total area of the image. Like Meloncov, I don't like the render cloud too much. Perhaps replace it with some kind of parchment/tapestry pattern?

    What DO you DO for... Fighters?

    Flynn, this thread is really more of a "tell us what you do" type of thing. If you want folks to critique your fighter you should probably start up a new thread for it.

    Defragging

    What do you mean by that? It stopped at 20% again? If that's the case, there's some kind of disk issue.

    Defragging

    Try SpeeDefrag. It reboots your computer and starts the defrag program without starting anything else. That lets it defrag stuff that would otherwise be running. At least, I think it does, because I haven't tried it. I used a different program to do something like this previously, but now I just...

    Can you Cleave with Lay on Hands?

    It's roughly the same as a touch spell, so if you can cleave off CLW, you can do it off Lay on Hands. Note that because the same weapon is required, even if your DM did allow this, you'd basically just poke them with your finger for no damage. It would take you another standard action to...

    Vista Complaints

    Probably yes on both counts. It supports MPEG2, which is the DVD video standard, but it doesn't explicitly state DVDs are supported. It doesn't say they aren't supported either. For WMP11, most codecs are independent of the video player so it shouldn't matter what version you have.

    Vista Complaints

    If your old computer had Acrobat installed and activated, you were supposed to deactivate it before you uninstalled it (or formatted the computer). I assume you've tried to enter your serial number. You should call adobe customer support, and they'll deactivate the previous setup and allow you...

    Vista & Word

    dvvega, is this what you're talking about? http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/f/?en/library/00d04415-2b2f-422c-b70e-b18ff918c2811033.mspx (scroll down to the Virtualization heading, near the beginning).

    A Campaign With No House Rules

    I usually play in house rule free games. By house rule, I mean new rules that change existing rules. I don't consider "roll on the table" or "no psionics or Spell Compendium" or "you're all dwarves" to be house rules. By and large, it's fine. Most people's house rules are either for flavor or...

    Vista & Word

    That doesn't sound correct to me. All my apps are installed in C:\Program Files, which appears to be right where it's supposed to be. If it is virtual, it's completely transparent, so why would it cause problems? Do you have a source for that info? I couldn't find anything about it with a few...

    Vista & Word

    From the website: "Platforms currently supported include Microsoft Windows (98 - Vista), GNU/Linux ("Linux"), Sun Solaris, Mac OS X (under X11), and FreeBSD." So yes, it should work.

    Vista & Word

    Office 2003 definitely works. I think if you go to microsoft's office web site, you can check compatibility of older versions. 2000 probably works OK too. If you can justify the cost, I think 2007 is really nice, but about 1 in 10 people absolutely hate it, so you might try a demo first.

    Secret doors...

    Elves get an automatic search check, not an automatic Open Locks check, which is what is required to open this combination lock. (That, or puzzling it out in character.) In other words, they find a locked secret door.

    What DO you DO for... Wizards?

    Heh, I guess that's a hold over from 3.0. Oh well.

    What DO you DO for... Wizards?

    No major changes for me. I give them Decipher Script as a class skill, and let them swap the familiar for a bonus Wizard feat.

    What DO you DO for... Dwarves? [I'm baaaaack!!]

    Yay, welcome back Nyaricus! Don't forget you've still got to do Wizards too.

    A Lawful Theft

    Cute. Do you actually want feedback or is it just for humor?

    Notebooks with the best keyboards?

    I've been using a dell latitude for over 3 years now, no key problems. You've only got two more brand to test - Dell and IBM/Lenovo. Go over to the local computer store and start typing. If you can't find one you like, get a notebook with bluetooth and a wireless keyboard that you like.
