When it comes to power supplies, I don't fool around. I always use high-quality parts. Why? Because one nightmare of a computer had it's power supply burn out on me three times. It wasn't the system itself, since every piece of it besides the floppy drive had been upgraded at one time or another ...

I can't recommend "best", since I've only tried one, but Mandrake (I have 9.0) has been good to me.

You should know that it will technically be more than one partition - I forget the exact setup but it's 2 or 3 partitions at minimum IIRC. Also, I have my Windows partitions split as NTFS (boot and ...

The reason I asked browser is because Flash has issues with the Mozilla derivitive Firebird (formerly known as Phoenix), mainly the fact that it doesn't create registry entries.

I'm not surprised another browser worked, as they're completely different plugins. If you still want to use IE, I'm out ...

At our school anytime a student needs their laptop reimaged, we end up giving their computer a new name and adding that to the domain instead of dealing with that hassle.

If you have the access to add a domain member you can use that, but if you don't the easiest way is talking to the sysadmin.

Monk w/ a little Rogue shouldn't be too bad. If you want, you could have a high hide/move silently to avoid many battles. The rogue levels to take disarm/unlock skills, obviously.

You wouldn't be that high on HP, but when you don't get hit it doesn't matter :P

Uh, you shouldn't be able to see Chapter 2 movies selection - you haven't seen the Chapter 2 movie.

You can start a game in chapter 2, now that 1 is finished, but the chapter movies come at the end of the chapters.

I would highly recommend the metamagic Feats Empower and Maximize.

A Maximized Fireball is almost garunteed to cause more damage then a Delayed Blast (unless you're reallly high level), and costs a lower spell level. Likewise, Empower can be nasty in it's own right.

Spell Penetration is also ...

If you don't know what a hex editor is, you probably shouldn't be touching one.

As a note, if you're persistent: I'd recommend looking up a Hexadecimal Editing FAQ or Tutorial on the web. It takes quite awhile to learn it if you have no experience with it or other non-decimal systems.

Depends somewhat on your class.

If you spontaneously cast (Sorc/Bard), then you decide right when you cast it if it's Empowered/Maximized/Whatever. In the 'Cast Spell' section of the radial menu there's a 'Metamagic' spot which lists what you can do.

If you prepare, then you have to decide if it's ...

Known Bug

I saw over on the Official Forums:

This is why occasionally you see an item that requires say level 11, when you're only ...
