How fast is your internet? (cool little app inside)
Seems pretty fast, might be even better if my laptop were plugged in and closer to router. This ones in New York, way better ping.

Exercises for upper body strength?
bout the wearable weights. Be careful how much you use. If your wearing them all day this is going to put major strain on your spine to the point where you can stunt your growth, grow shorter faster (because you grow shorter with age, the disks in your back stop expanding at night), chronic back pain. If the weigths are porly balenced back to front and sides, you are going to be in ALOT of pain for a LONG LONG time. This also puts strain on the knees, which are alredy pretty delacate and prone to problems later in life. An exra 30-40 pounds 8 hours a day could do serious damage to teh lining of the knee joint. And your FEET. If you have high arches like me, this is just an incredibly stupid idea. Thats a 1 way roaud to chronic pain and plantars faceites(cant spell it, its a foot problem). This will put strain on teh ankle and damage it like the knees, it could also lead to strain on the arch and ball leading to swollen tendons in the bottom of your foot, and trust me, when they get irritated and go into spasam, you will be on the ground praying to God the pain ends soon. I get that pain sometimes just pointing my foot, I have incredibly high arches where all the skin clears the ground by 2/3 of a centimetre. If you go for this, please consult some dort of doctor, and I would not recomend more than 15-25 lbs. no matter how much you can carry. Your going to be wearing them hours at a time, so it takes MUCH LESS weight to do MUCH MORE damage. Things like the ankle and wrist weights at least are far safer than heavy torso weights. And make sure you don't go for any weighted hats. Your neck mucells work much different than normal mussels and alredy strong enough. Any weigth training would only damage them and cause you pain, it would likely cause you to stop before you made progress. A human skull with brain is alredy 10 lbs. (give or take a pound), thats enough. Good Luck.

The chances of being a player moderator
Even once the .3 marks go away (they do with time, or so im told), you will proboly have zero chance for the next year or 2 at least. But there are enough people who have never had black marks (like me) to recruit from that your chances are nill anyways. I think the only way to be selected is to have people write things to Jagex saying how helpful you are, or thats the immpression I get off there site in the player moderator section.

TeamSpeak
Are you suggesting Jagex integrate something like TS into the runescape client? This could prover a disaster for the (supprisingly high number) players who still use 56k modems. I think the game client is alredy pushing 56k as far as it can go without causing lag on moderate to high quality connections. If your just lookign for a good server: 97.82.249.110:8770 label: Roswell's RuneSpeak

Please Help me with smithing
Iron is much faster to mine than iron and coal together. and when you smelt you should get about 14 iron ores. For steel you can make 9 bars per trip. However when your smeltign you spend just over 3x as long smelting the iron than you would for steel. So if you know how fast you can mine iron and coal, how long it takes to get from bank to furnace, and how long it takes to smelt a bar, you can use math to answer the question. If you pm me the times i'll do all the math for you and show you how its done :D

A good deal?
I have no idea how decent acer is. I do know that an eqivalent, say HP would cost more because it's HP. But it looks like a solid machine.

Is your Gameplay on memory?
The servers keep at least 1 minute of ALL activity in memory, and I suspect even more than that. Proboly closer to 5 minutes, that way Jagex can take a look around the worlds and what has been going on in various places within the last few minutes without logging on and using a mod account to cheack things out in person. They would need immense data storgae to keep a video account of everything each player dose of even to keep an hour long mono-view of an entire world (ie only recods from a single view point)

New RuneScape themed TeamSpeak
Well im in and my microphones work (laptop has 2 in monitor). I hope the quality is good and loud enough, the microphones are supposed to be good.

Yet another science question!
And your point would be what exactly? Yes by relesing energy we will proboly have heat as a by product, or some other form of EM radiation. And I belive a calorie is the heat energy needed to heat an ounce or ml (not sure) by 1 degree centigrade. But that dosen't mean that any matter was converted to energy, but that the 'potential energy' in teh chemical bonds was converted to 'kinetic energy' for use by the body. (please note the usage of both potential and kinetic energy in that context is incorrect, but it may help people understand the concept better).

Yet another science question!
All the food is not converted into energy. If that were true we would never take a dump and we would proboly die from electro magnetic radiation. The chemical reactions do result in a net gain of energy. A much simpler example is oxygen. The process plants use to convert carbon dioxide into O2 (an oxygen molocule) reqires an input of energy, provided by the sun. This makes the O2 sort of like a battery, the plant has now stored a small bit of the suns energy in this molocule, and when our bodies preform the exact same chemical reaction in reverse, we get the energy that was stored there. However it is not the food itself that is converted into energy, it is the energy relesed by exothermic reactions that consume the food. And in all honesty, teh output of our rear ends is actualy about the same as our intake of solids. [cabbage] is just fairly dense, but very little of the food exits the body by means other than urine, fecies and methane gas. Thats what your teacher forgot about anus output, we also fart :thumbsup: Oh and the 4th state of mater (plasma) is not pure energy. Thats the biggest pile of Bull [cabbage] i've seen in a long time. It's much closer to a highly ionized gas at extreme tempereatures, with a density simaler to a liquid (not entirly certain about the density part). Tell you science teacher to stop spouting lies. Rember if the food molecuels were actualy converted into energy, the results would be like a 1/4 power atomic bomb going off in your chest 24 hours a day. :ohnoes: I also like wariors answer, I think he took both biology and chemistry. I do chemistry and physics.

Java Help
What version of windows are you using? To me that looks like 98, maby even 95 :shock: (they look veary simaler). And that might be the problem, all new java might not be backwards compatible for anything pre Windows Me or XP. In that case you either need a 95/98 compatible version, or a newer OS. You could also try dowloading directly from the internet, thats what the instaler does anyway. The site should have a few different installation methods, start trying the others. That massege is saying that it can't find/access the server that it needs to upload all the instaltion stuff from (the downloaded installer dosent actualy have Java, it downloads Java itself).

For a while I thought that Algebra was the spawn of Satan...
I thought you were going to say "then I discoved calcules". Which I don't mind by the way, but I havent done much calculus yet.

Personality Disorders? Anybody?
I think I could score higher on the schizoid. I just remembered that no one seems to think like I do in math. I just see things, which enables me to make up my own ways of solving something if I forget how. But my interests lie primarily in science, math, the phycology of facial expresions and interpretation by others, the mechanics of the human brain, and most of the theories in Star Trek. Weird enough for you :mrgreen: I find the dependent highly insulting, but at the same time it's true only without the relation, I just like it when I don't have to keep track of what im doing from day to day, or scheduale anything. I think I would change if I were kicked out and lived with my brother, I would change out of nesssecity. I dont think the narrcistic is true though. Unless it dosent reqire any bragging, or expectation of admiration. I don't like to make people feel guilty though and will allow them to have a lower opinion of me if it means I can avoid making them feel guilt. That on it's own proboly qualifys as a dissorder though. However when I act I give NO regard to what other think and feel, I only think afterwards, and most of the time before (normally preventing an action from occuring).

General Relativity
I can take a stab at it, but my understanding is limated by limated abilitys in non-Ecludian geomatry. The basic idea is that space is curved, what we percive as a strait line would nto be strait if our perception of time was not so limated. To help you viualise this, imagin people living on a sphere who could only percive 2 dimensions. There world would look flat and they could travel an unlimated distance in any direction. However if one were to walk in a strait line for a very long time he would eventualy end up where he started. So space is something like the surface of that sphere. Time is the fourth dimension and we are limated to a seqential perception of its existance. This theory seeks to explain gravity. All objects and energy put dents in this curved space time. Now think about a marble in a bowl with a compleatly round bottom (no flat part). If that bowl is uprigth and you put the marble in it, the marble will go to the bottom. Thats what happens when objects further bend space-time, they create pits that the object falls into along with other objects within range. Large objects like plannets create much larger dents that are cosiquently harder for little things like humans to 'climb' out of. I belive that it is other 'lines' in space that actualy push objects into the 'dents' created by massive bodys (massive as in 'mass' not size). Hope this helps and is correct.

Worm Holes
I think its more like they go in strait lines, it only looks like they bend space to us because of our limated perceotion. Rember it is space thats curved, and by going truly strait your now moving in the 4th dimension which means automatic time travel. Any ways the movies BS.

This has become a popular e-mail scamm do not fall for it
I don't get it. I mean I can see it's got to be a scam of some sort, but I don't really understand how. Hes not asking for money though with a phone and fax number he could possibly harras you by repetedly calling you. And the address thing is definatly dangerous. But how do they get the money, come and beat you up or black mail?

The end of the Internet!
What I got from this is that if you own a site, you have to pay extra or the speed at which anyone can access the site will be limated. Or is this where I have to pay just to view a site? In that case I think I can live without internet, I alredy pay for access, im not paying extra fees to view God knows what.

IS THERE A WAY TO!
Here is a picture of HDMI outlet (the one in your computer. You should only have this on a computer that came with windows vista (game consels have them to, among other devices) as XP can't hanndel the high-definition thing. S-video is also a possibility on some graphics cards, and using this you could get addapters to havdel a TV that only has a coaxial input. Heres what an S-video would look like on your laptop. I woudl also guess that there are addapters for a VGA output (its blue, 15 holes) to S-Video or the 3 colour cables (forget there name).

Favorite cities?
Varrock. Back when I was f2p (only 4 months ago) I didn't really like mining or any of the other skills that are based out of falador, and lumbridge, well kinda blows for day to day stuff. So I fell in love with varrock. Plus it's got access to (via underwall shortcut in palace) a transportation hub (common meeting place) for the canoe, fairy rings, and spirit trees. I'm always going through there. But the 2 banks, rune ess mine, the museum (the reason I became a member in the first place ), the anvils (don't love mining but smithings ok), and all the other fun stuff. Sadly im not actualy there much, normally only appering nearby as I switch my method of travel. I think I actualy spend more time in lumbridge than any other city. Mostly because of home tele, and then I stop by the cukineromancers chest.

Which Prayer book did you choose?
I went for Guthix because im a general fan and it's the only bok that can bless both types of symbol. Plus the pages are cheep, if not really hard to come by still need pages 1,2,3.
