One last side-thought... *groan* #-o ... Poorly-drawn jokes just don't work. They gotta be drawn well to be funny, and/or make a point! Who would take such a lacking image seriously, and/or laugh about it??? :wall: ~D. V. "Ugh... <*Falls over...*> ... This is not funny." Devnull

My opinion has changed so much in a year and a bit. :lol: So... What is your opinion now, eh? :-s ~D. V. "I gotta ask..." Devnull

Even better, could we just get a table (or link to one) that shows info on what is vulnerable and what isn't? I don't like the thought of my web requests being hijacked by anyone. :( ~D. V. "Hey... Where'd the page go?" Devnull

11,063 I'm ussually listening music when I browse the forums so I never watch vids :-# Then tap the pause button on your media player, and watch some! I think you'll develop a fresh view on life! :thumbsup: ~D. V. "Music ain't everything..." Devnull

Nope, I've been forgetting the laughter. We already both agree that they have been drawing disgraceful art. I would just like to see them improve. :thumbup: ~D. V. "Why does everyone think I'm up to something, when I'm really not?" Devnull (p.s.: I've been getting all the LOLs I want over in "Countdown From 15K"... Maybe you'd like to come join us? Personally, I've had it with people de-railing this thread, just to get me to answer stuff.)

11,066 Darn... No comments on the vid? Did I fail in picking, did everyone just ignore it, or did everyone end up without something to say? :o ~Mr. "What the... Eek!" Devnull

Then Google fails for not translating properly. As for me, I fail for picking them to translate the text. -.- ~Mr. "Damn... Fail." Devnull

flsed, I refer you to a post I made earlier on, in positive response to another who posted before me about it... Here's the link... http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?p=5210129#p5210129 ...and just to save you time, I re-quote myself here... [quote name=At viewtopic.php?p=5210129#p5210129 ... D_V_Devnull] I fully agree with mchainmail about rule 15... Also, there are parents who have a house policy that doesn't allow display of adverts, therefore forcing the person playing RuneScape to be auto-violating that rule. The rule is effectively, in its' very essence, fully and completely unfair, and should be done away with. The parents (and/or person playing) have paid for the speed and bandwidth they have enabled to them for accessing the net anyway, and therefore have a right to choose what and what not comes through. (This normally puts control of the bandwidth out of the reach of the person playing RuneScape, I shall note again here.) Oh... One more thing. Sometimes the ISP is blocking the advertisement. Guess what? This means that the player who isn't seeing the advert (just like with parents controlling their house policy) is auto-violating Rule 15 again. But, and here's the kicker, in all these cases, that means that the fault is not actually on the person playing and they should not be banned for it. =; I can say, if I ever see anyone wrongfully banned over this rule, I will raise hell. :x ... 'Nuff said. ... and bid you a good night. Enjoy the reading, because you're right. Rule 15 is fully unfair, and possibly illegal... Especially seeing as I've had to help troubleshoot systems that have come to harm because people were dumb enough to follow such an unfair rule... And Jagex calls themselves "Security Advocates"??? They're nowhere close!!! :ugeek: ~Mr. D. V. "Even I know the truth..." Devnull

We wish. :roll: I'm just trying to be serious about my comments and criticism, in an attempt to help both of those cartoonists come up with far better versions... Versions with a quality level that at least runs comparably to stuff I read daily... Call me crazy for being serious, if you like. :geek: ~Mr. D. V. "Heck, I insult myself sometimes." Devnull

Uhm, that could be argued with. Personally, I think the graphical quality of your image is worse than that of what the person who started this thread decided to make. Seriously, dude, add some considerable details. 'Cel-shading' and paint fills, too. :roll: You can't be serious D_V. Nope, I'm serious. :P ... Go read "The Adventures Of Dr. McNinja", which happens to use such a style of shading on its' frames. At least then the spurting blood, the room, and other elements would all look half-reasonable, instead of looking like a 2-year-old scribbled it... -.- ~D. V. "Yep, I'm a critic." Devnull

Now that one took a translator. -.- For everyone else... romu000 said, "Finally, we will be able to speak without being insulting!" : ~D. V. "I'll have to really start learning French..." Devnull

Uh... you might want to read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_lag I have to think that statement of "No Latency" is sarcasm? A more appropriate phrase would be "Extreme Latency"? :?: ~D. V. "You have me confused." Devnull [Edit: Not trying to be a jerk here... just trying to clarify...]

Uhm, that could be argued with. Personally, I think the graphical quality of your image is worse than that of what the person who started this thread decided to make. Seriously, dude, add some considerable details. 'Cel-shading' and paint fills, too. :roll: ~D. V. "Yuuuuuuck!" Devnull

I know... Those people are sitting there with a giant exploit waiting to happen. :boohoo: ~Mr. "Oh dear..." Devnull

11,070 Finally found something funny by way of stupidity... :P " " by 'JosephCollins' k6sszx9Zd2s You know, I should have called it "Explosively Funny", as well as "Explosively Stupid"... :lol: ~Mr. D. V. "LOL!" Devnull

LOL... The reason being that air time for the data to travel, and the fact that the upload and download lines are split in a rather bad, middleman-loaded manner... :wall: ~D. V. "Gamers and Slow Links don't mix." Devnull

Maybe this would be a good thing, then? Put respect back into a cape that's lost respect? : ~D. V. "LOL-zorz....." Devnull

While I have IE6 as an option, I prefer FireFox v2-series... It doesn't have limitations that v1.5-series has, and doesn't have any of the annoying v3-series functions... And heck, I've been hearing about FF v3-series issues anyway... Also, I used to use Netscape Communicator v4.08, and FireFox makes Netscape look like utter [bleep] ... :ugeek: Long Live The FireFox Revolution!!! :thumbsup: ~Mr. D. V. "To hell with IE/Safari/Chrome/Opera/Netscape/any-other-stupid-browser..." Devnull

Call me crazy, but you'll probably have to talk with your ISP about it. :( BTW, did your old connection do RS well, or was it as bad as this one is acting? :? ~Mr. D. V. "That's one ugly net link you got there." Devnull

I've just been wishing for a particular method for changing mine. LOL :lol: I am much of the opinion that locking stuff to a schedule like that was a really bad idea... I think we should be extremely glad that they stopped it. \ ~Mr. "Nothing but positive." Devnull

Umm, see you? Umm, no? We don't need to be losing Forum Moderators over this. :notalk: As for more adverts, Tip.It would have to be careful... Too much, and half the of community's users disappear... :( ... Would there be any way to add some "text tag"-type adverts, as in the kind of a thing you find near the bottom or side of a page? You know, those short "text phrase" thingies with outbound links, but not as large as a 'google text advert'... :-s (Definitely NEVER the ones that lay into the posts on a page... I got really ticked at those. ...) ~D. V. "Whoa, dude..." Devnull (p.s.: Yeah, I'm one of the poor people who has to keep the oversize graphical/banner/skyscraper ads blocked or I won't have a PC to use. However, it does NOT mean that I can not contribute to a thread like this.)

Just a side-thought, don't read if you don't want to................ You're getting full textures, no lag? Nice. : ... I guess the CPU I'm using (Single core @ 2.4 Ghz) is at fault then, because this leads me to believe that without the video card which is in there, I would be repeatedly lagged at full settings... :| ~D. V. "I guess something had to make up for the difference." Devnull

Alright, here's my whole stack of opinions: Falador Achievement Diary --- While I suspect this will be 100% P2P... It would be nice if there was a "Beginner" and/or "Easy" section here for F2P, with "Medium" and "Hard" being the P2P-only stuff. Sadly, I have the fear that such a setup of a diary would probably never happen. :cry: Lunar Isles Achievement Diary --- No Comment... This is a P2P-only thing anyway. :? Stealing Creation Rewards --- Another one where I have No Comment... This is a P2P-only thing anyway. :? New Hairdos by "Ak-Haranu" --- I hope they expanded the répertoire of styles for both males and females. I've noticed too many possibilities for allowing odd hairstyles go by. And anyway, I could use a slightly more 'fluffy' (for lack of a better word) beard on my small purple self. His beard is just too flat. :-k French Worlds --- Even if I can't speak in French, I can understand small bits of it. Would be interesting to go on one and "bone up" on the language. Heck, I got what the JMod posted, which was "In French", that they posted as "en français"... :P Christmas Event --- Another frigid one... This will be interesting. However, I wish they hadn't spoiled the rewards until the event. I guess that other person was right about impatient kids and presents. Oh well, I'll just make sure to do this before the holidays end, because I hate missing out on stuff. -.- Christmas-time Quest --- I wish they'd permanently release a quest to F2P for the high-levels, and/or one that would provide more choices before launching Dragon Slayer. I guess I'll have to scramble to do this as well, seeing as I won't get another chance... :| Mobilizing Armies --- Another one where I have No Comment... This is a P2P-only thing anyway. :? ~D. V. "Stuff to look forward to..." Devnull

Since this idea for F2P/P2P has potential, I will support... :thumbsup: BTW, definitely change the note to only cut 15 gp off the cost, and definitely have a bank at the back of the dungeon, along with a pathway that costs a few ores and/or some gp (About 500 gp and any one ore would be suitable for passage in both directions... There would also be the option of fighting your way across, which would give you the right to use the safe passage for just that time you fought your way across, but only going outbound from the bank.) to go around the load of monsters safely. (Helps to leave options for high-level skillers, in my opinion.) I'm glad to see that greater rewards for P2P were thought of in addition to stuff for F2P on this quest. : ~Mr. "Now this is what I call a good 'idea for quest' thread!" Devnull

That computer will run 'RS HD', but you won't get much hardware acceleration. I recommend upgrading the video card to at least an "NVidia GeForce 7300 GT", which is what I'm using here... Also, it needs to have at least 512MB of RAM on it, if you wish to have a nice resolution and anti-aliasing level... :geek: Good luck to you, Killerred005... 8-) ~D. V. "I like RS HD and smooth graphics..." Devnull
