PDF Browser Plugin for Mac browsers

I second the recommendation for the Firefox PDF plugin - it's free and open source.

The Queue: Wear shoulder pads like it's 1989 and get The Immortal title

Ghostcrawler pic is just pure win.

Breakfast Topic: Would you join an "Anything Goes" realm?

Jan 15th 2009 8:12AM on WoW

Gordal is right. There's surely some correlation between age and maturity but it's not absolute - I know some very mature 16 years old who play on my realm (though they're probably 18 year olds now) and some very immature people in their early 20s. And I'd rather not play on a realm where the age restriction is used as an excuse for unnecessary vulgarity.

Breakfast Topic: What's in a name?

Jan 13th 2009 8:17AM on WoW

My girlfriend decided to rename one of her characters when several people told her that it was Greek for 'prostitute'.

I'm quite pleased with my main's name, but I called my alt 'Faelya' in an attempt to create a mythical name. Unfortunately it's also very similar to 'failure'.

Breakfast Topic: Don't you mean the *healer* shortage?

Dec 9th 2008 8:52AM on WoW

I would agree. A number of our previously holy paladins have used the expansion to justify a change to Ret or Prot, so we're down on healers. Others respecced as DPS to help with levelling and decided not to change back when they reached 80.

Things are getting gradually better - we have more tanks and healers reaching 80 now. Maybe those that normally tanked or healed just took longer to level up?

Would really love to have that mount :)

BBC: WoW's patches may push some over the bandwidth limit

Oct 21st 2008 3:47AM on WoW

While WoW on its own doesn't use much bandwidth outside of patch time, if you raid then you are probably using TeamSpeak or Ventrilo. Between WoW and Vent, I was regularly close my ISP's 5 GB monthly limit.

Mac 101: Find where a file came from

Oct 13th 2008 11:57AM on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Camino supports this as well, but Firefox does not. There is a request to add support for this in Firefox, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337051

HELP! Windows cannot open this file

Real Alternative is actually illegal software - it breaks the RealPlayer license agreement by distributing its components. QuickTime Alternative may be the same but I've never tried it since I have iTunes anyway.

Similarly, I would advise against the K-Lite Codec Pack and stick with CCCP.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
