    Annual Salary?

    Currently I'm an OINK? :) One income no kids, I'm in the middle of the graph. My girlfriend will be starting her new job in a couple months though, and I will join the DINKS. How much free time do you have (is it enough, just right, too much)? Plenty, I don't take my job home with me, and...

    Why PDF vs .doc?

    Seems like all the relevant points have been touched on already. I just wanted to add that Microsoft also gives out a free viewer for its Office Word docs. Word Viewer 2003 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=95E24C87-8732-48D5-8689-AB826E7B8FDF&displaylang=en I use...

    I want to do a web site for my campaign, but I have questions...

    Another vote for the free open source FTP client FILEZILLA http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ For web space, your ISP most likely provides you with plenty, unless you want to have a message board or something more complicated.

    Looking for a good Fantasy Book

    I agree with Joshua, I didn't care for Steven Ericksons Malazan series, and don't understand any comparison between it and GRRM's Song of Ice and Fire (which I love). I couldn't make it through Gardens of the Moon, there was simply nothing I found enjoyable or intriguing about it.

    PCI Express: What do you think?

    AGP is on the way out, newer cards will only be released in PCI-E. If you're purchasing a new computer, you should get PCI-Express. And why is this still in Books/Movies/TV? :p

    Screenshot Freeware?

    If you're talking just 2d Windows elements, then I would go with the alt-printscreen or ctl-printscreen native to Windows like IronWolf suggested. If you're looking for capturing video or 3d games, I would recommend http://www.fraps.com/

    Why do women send mixed signals?

    Thought it was about time for this quote... (From Chasing Amy, edited of course to fit the subject at hand, and shield Grandmas eyes ;) )

    THE BIG "D"---i never thought it would be me:(

    THE BIG "D"---i never thought it would be me:(

    ^ Ditto... I'd have to agree with Frank on this one... they've obviously planned this all prior to notifying you and are trying to dictate the terms. Put the brakes on, get a lawyer and determine your goals before proceeding.

    Rate Spielberg's War of the Worlds

    Saw this at the drive-in Saturday night. All I can say is I'm thankful it's two movies for the price of one, because this movie was awful! I gave it a 4 ... awful!!! (for the curious, the second movie was Mr. and Mrs. Smith which was not bad, it was entertaining for what it was.)

    Why do women send mixed signals?

    Ken the people in this thread are trying to help you. If you've not noticed, they've said over and over again the answer to your question above is YES! Little lies are standard social skills that 99% of the world use to interact and get by everyday. For reasons that have already been...

    ZIP/Compression Utilities

    I'll third 7-zip. It's free, open source, and essentially a WinZip clone so you should find it familiar to use.

    For the Battlefield Players

    You can help speed up loading the game and navigating the menus by turning off the movies. Unfortunately EA/Dice didn't give an option for this, but you can still do it easily. Locate the folder ... (wherever you installed it)...\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Movies Right-click the "Movies" folder...

    Need to update my firmware for my DVD drive.

    Here you go... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?lc=en&product=296682&cc=us&dlc=en&os=228 There's a couple DVD drives listed for that model, so you'll probably have to open your case and see what you've got. There will be a sticker label on it somewhere. Once you know which...

    Early War of the Worlds reviews

    I have the feeling the gag on the previews was to prevent spoilers. I'm assuming (hoping) that Spielberg has changed the "twist" of the story so that the aliens are not in fact defeated by a virus.

    Just saw RotJ Spec. Ed. on DVD for the first time...

    Here you go... You can google for plenty of other quotes from others, including this cheery one from Jim Ward, a VP of Lucasfilms.
