D. V. Devnull

I know how you feel. I have also had no problems here, and I control my cookie settings completely. Heck, I'm not even on the latest versions, so I'm confused as to what's happening on their end. :? ~D. V. "What causes this anomaly?" Devnull

10,579 kegs of thanks to you. :) ~D. V. "Yay!" Devnull

I've highlighted the one that bugs me... I really hope you didn't remove the underscores in my name, since I was probably on one of the pages you did. Those underscores have been part of my 'shortened' name for forever, simply due to how sites would choke on the longer name. Just look at how I typed in my RSN! I'll have to do something painful to you on the forums if you removed the underscores! Or maybe I'll make you include the infamous periods next year, so it will show as "D. V. Devnull" (obviously no quote marks, LOL!) under my image!!! :twisted: ~D. V. "NO underscore removal allowed!!!" Devnull

10,581 Miserable... Only 1 post between my last and now... Worse, in a 15-hour time period. :notalk: Oh well... At least I got to finish the page I began... Someone, anyone, begin the next page, please? :-s ~D. V. "Lacking a bit, aren't we?" Devnull

10,583 *Yawn* ... 'Ello, world! How are we all today? :) ~D. V. "Wake up time!" Devnull

In that case, make sure (only if you haven't done it already) that you download, install, and run these: [*:1fmljcvj]Spybot S&D -- http://www.safer-networking.org/ (Choose your language to access the site... I made no assumptions. Also, when installing, don't enable the real-time protection on this one. While Spybot S&D is a good product, the real-time protection can - and usually does - interfere with some of what people do.) [*:1fmljcvj]Lavasoft's AdAware -- http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php (You'll need to be on an Administrator ID to install this, just as with most any program install these days... The service that runs underneath Windows' hood is a good thing to have.) [*:1fmljcvj]MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware -- http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php (I don't need to say much here. It does what it says.) But, only clean out actual spyware/malware, and those pesky cookies that actually come from advert firms. (Who the heck wants an advert firm tracking them anyway? I think we would both like to have our privacy!) Everything else should be left alone. BTW, if you can't figure out what should be removed, then come back with logs from scanning with the utilities I've mentioned. Post those logs to the thread, and those who know about the bad items will help you out. Remember, you don't have to make a choice until you know what an item is. ~D. V. "Knowledge is the real true power." Devnull

McAfee is pure fail... Read http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?p=6346693#p6346693 to catch up on one of your other threads, and learn a little of why I like NOD32 over McAfee (and for that matter, Norton) by a longshot. : ~D. V. "Read the linked item, dangit." Devnull

10,600 ... New Page. 8-) In your face, whoever laughed at me for not starting a page. :twisted: ~D. V. "roflcopter" Devnull

I just looked through that whole log... I can't find anything. :| TBH, if you do have a keylogger, McAfee is one of the worst AV in the world to be running. McAfee, Norton, and AVG all stink at the moment. (Unknown to some, McAfee also has a load of backdoors, which basically leaves your PC looking like an open house.) NOD32, Avira, Kaspersky, and ClamAV (Windows Version, possibly named "ClamWin") are all far better options. Heck, I use NOD32 myself, and it has protected me on-the-fly from totally new viruses that somehow got onto sites I trusted. (Obviously, I don't trust those sites anymore. Sure is annoying to find out that your favorite music lyrics site has been overrun by black-hat hackers, though.) :geek: I wish you well on switching to an alternate AV/FireWall layout, J35u5_M4... These days, it is hard to keep a computer safe and protected. :? ~D. V. "Using the right security packages are critical." Devnull

Adding to infam0us911's inquiry, monkeyguy139, are your cookies for "forum.tip.it" (NOT "www.tip.it" or "tip.it", as those won't apply properly!) set to "Permanent Allow", and not set to "Permanent Allow For Session"? :geek: ~D. V. "Cookies settings... What a drag." Devnull

Glad to hear the extended characters are back. I severely missed them, especially this one... ? ~D. V. "The 'not equal' sign rocks!" Devnull

10,604 Juhniz, you ought to mark that video (the excerpt from "South Park" of a 'Wheel Of Fortune' spoof) as being "Not Safe For Work/School"... While I may have found it funny in one aspect, I didn't find it funny in another. Also, WHERE THE HELL ARE THE DANG CREDITS??? How many times must I tell people to put credits on?!?!? Heck, that reminds me that another person forgot theirs! :x <*DVD punches a wall and walks off, then realizes something and walks back in...*> Hey, somebody want to tell me where and when Dsavi_x4 captured this on the forum??? :shock: Really disturbing when someone walks along and captures a copy of your sidebar data. :ohnoes: ~D. V. "Two separate thoughts, no way to summarize in one sentence." Devnull

10,638 Were those vids meant to be funny? All I saw was utter pointlessness. :? ~D. V. "There is no LOL..." Devnull

10,659 Hey, Napalm... As I am posting this, your post count for the forum is the same as the name of a movie! Which one, you ask? "300"! :lol: ~D. V. "Now that is worth a LOL!" Devnull

By any chance are you trying to launch a game server at the time in question? Port 27005 is used by "Half-Life: CounterStrike" and other such games from Sierra/Valve, if I remember correctly. :geek: ~D. V. "Darn pieces, ports, and parts..." Devnull

10,685 To all those not wishing to get harmed in this thread: I only plaster when plastering is needed. I'll try to not be as nasty, but if you 'flub it up'... Well... *BLAM* comes for you!!! ~D. V. "Harm comes to those that earn it. I am pure harm, waiting to be served." Devnull

<*DVD pulls out a giant hammer, and makes a giant pancake out of acenator... What a bloody mess!!!*> Apparently, you also did not check the ~20 pages before... All properly-done page beginnings happen to start with a number divisible by 20, as per the design of the thread. Someone blew it about 2 pages back, and someone didn't catch it before I showed up. Further, I'm the thread's master counter/protector, so when I post, I never miss. I am the one that sets it straight. Don't try to mess it up again. :shame: Unlike what you think, the correct count position is now: 10,698 ~Mr. D. V. "I don't let the counter slip." Devnull

Ugh... This one just had to blow it, didn't they?!?!? :roll: <*DVD walks over behind kehllz, making no sound whatsoever while pulling out Valkirimedira (FYI, that's DVD's personal Fighter Bow) slowly... Then, DVD suddenly makes swiss cheese of kehllz with the bow's "Shotgun Buster" attack option... The sound from the blast rocks the room heavily... Khellz falls apart, turning into a pile of bloody chunks on the floor...*> I was hoping I'd get through January before that happened... :wall: Oh well... 100% more chunkage for this year. :boohoo: Now, where the hell were we? That's right, I just need to de-increment slightly. 10,700 ~D. V. "Even with a New Year, this thread will not fall to ruin." Devnull

10,727 Hmm... Time to get used to typing out those 2009 dates, folks. :roll: BTW, see you all after the new year arrives. :ugeek: ~D. V. "Awww, crap." Devnull

I think that's for the actual RuneScape hi-scores. The server the signatures use is timed to check once every 12 hours since the sig was created. Is there any chance that Pure_MageUK could be talked into creating a page for forcing a manual update? (Which, BTW, is well within RS rules, last I knew.) ~D. V. "Oh, how I'd like to update it sooner..." Devnull

10,790 That totally depends on the gift. :geek: Something like cookies? Yes. : Something like a nuclear bomb? HELL NO! :o As for this... Oh dear... Someone forgot to give you an Amulet Of HumanSpeak before you forgot how to talk like a human... -.- <*DVD pulls out an Amulet Of HumanSpeak, and hangs it around Juhniz's neck, using one of his many natural abilities. Juhniz becomes able to talk like a human once again.*> Now... You were saying? :-s ~D. V. "You're not catching me off-guard..." Devnull

What980, while I don't know if this will help (even though I'm certain it won't harm anything) ... you might wish to reconfigure your Java Applet RunTime settings. (You'll find it by calling up your 'Java Control Panel', then going to 'Java > Java Applet Runtime Settings > View...', which will bring up a dialog where you can double-click the runtime entry, and add the appropriate arguments to alter the behavior. BTW, I recommend copying the arguments I've listed, instead of trying to type them. Typos = ugly...) Just simply adding a "-Xmx256M -XX:GCHeapFreeLimit=1" (no quotes, obviously) should be enough to fix some issues, in case it is finding itself short on space in the default 96 MB of room that is allotted to all Java applets that are running in the browser. :geek: I wish you good luck on your driver change. While I don't know if your changing the driver will work, I hope that you will not have as many RSHD issues as you have now. :thumbsup: ~D. V. "It upsets me when someone can't run RSHD..." Devnull

It can be. What are you planning to do? And do you have a video card that will feed the image from the computer to the TV? :-s ~D. V. "Yeah, you've got me curious!" Devnull

10,803 :lol: ~D. V. "LOL!" Devnull (p.s.: I'm gonna miss those "Santa Hat Smileys" when they disappear.)

No, your not reading. Its the same chance as any other random. But suppose I was stuck with 5 idiots. I would have to do the work of 5 normal random events in one event that happens just as often as other ones. Im doing 5x the work on an event that happens just as often as anything else. First of all, most of the time you wouldn't do everyone's work. Secondly, when you do, you get a lot more exp. And third, you'd get this event INSTEAD of another you might have gotten. LOL! :lol: I'd say the rewards are worth the idiocy that you'd have to deal with. If you're stuck doing their job, you steal their exp away. What's worse for them? Jagex would probably drain part of their stats, just for not participating. You know... Good ol' anti-macro measures. Sure would teach the '/b/-tard' a lesson they'd never forget. :thumbsup: ~D. V. "Stolen, but earned, and at expense to the idiot... I like it." Devnull (Note: 4-chan forum reference used in a humorous manner. Please don't get angry over it.)
