I just downloaded the PDF myself. 48 pages, 12 MB. That's obscene for a rules document. It could use a lot of optimization for online reading.

Try updating Reader to the latest version, 8.1 or so. If it still sucks, try Foxit PDF Reader. It's tiny, free and FAST. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php If you have Acrobat (not just Reader), you might be able to optimize the document or tweak whatever the problem is.

Yes, in places where Google owns the Gmail trademark, like the US, they use @Gmail.com. I think in the UK and Germany someone else already owned it, so they had to change to @googlemail.com.

I think Thunderbird is a great client, I used it for years, but I've been using Gmail for my primary email for a few months now and I love it. I've found I don't need Thunderbird. Get a gmail account an pop your mail over from hotmail. Granted, there are some things a pop client can do that a...

I agree with ki11erDM. Office 2007 is a good upgrade, I prefer it. In my experience, I'd say 9 out of 10 people who get some training in it or learn to use it properly prefer it to older versions. That 10th person will hate it no matter what. For a free solution, try OpenOffice or AbiWord...

I didn't even know KVMs could do audio. Hit http://www.newegg.com and look at the reviews.

I think I know a certain RPG making company that should have taken that advice...

Many Dell mice are actually Microsoft mice. You can also find drivers for it on Dell's website, I think.

Wow, messed up situation. It's a laptop - try it somewhere else. If it works, the problem is with the company network. If it doesn't (and the other internet connection doesn't have a proxy or block) then you know it's a software problem with your computer. I have firewalls running on my home...

Here's another thing to try - a different power supply. If your power supply is wonky and suddenly reduced the output, maybe some devices draw too much on boot and overload the PS, causing your weird intermittent problems. It might explain some things, but I'm not sure if it explains...

Ditto. Just start them at 4th level, then you can ignore the progressions completely. The progressions are only there so that you can play the monster races at levels lower than their ECL. Once you get higher you're just effectively playing the monster as written in the MM.

Your comcast web space probably doesn't allow you to access cgi-bin, so you won't be able to do anything interactive with that space. You can edit locally and then upload the revisions, like you're doing with Tiddlywiki. If you like Tiddlywiki, check out http://www.tiddlyspot.com . It's a...

The Dark Creature template from Tome of Magic might have some of the features you're interested in. The level adjustment is only +1, so it's very accessible.

You'll probably get better results if a mod moves this over to the Software forum. Tangent: Vista's sidebar isn't a rip-off of Mac's widgets - it's a rip-off of Google Desktop's sidebar. Which is a rip-off of some one else's sidebar, I'm sure. :) Anyway, if you search the Windows Live Gallery...

I played a good aligned mind flayer once. I bought a ring of sustenance, and fortunately I never lost it.

Does Foxit PDF Reader work on your older PDFs? It probably won't, but it's worth a shot. http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php

Also hideously broken and officially abandoned by its developer. KompoZer is its superior successor. See KompoZer's About page for more info.

Less than what I spent on 2nd Edition. If this trend continues, I'll be SAVING money by switching to 4e! :lol:

There is only one free WYSIWYG HTML editor. KompoZer. Seriously, if someone knows of another one (well, other then the broken crap Nvu, which is what KompoZer is based on) please tell me about it.

I have not played one, but it looks like a glass cannon to me. I would expect it to dominate in every combat until the enemy focuses on it, and then it would die horribly and quickly.
