Guthans - horribly slow, useless with summon\SGS Most useful armour set before summoning Dharoks - good for nothing whatsoever Very effective when combined with pro-melee for slayer and other things like ape atoll gorillas Veracs - good for... KQ? KQ, bosses in general, some use in pvp, barrows Ahrims is the one set that's actually worth using for PVP. Nobody uses the whole set, the staff is 2 handed + cannot be used to autocast ancient magicks Oh, and the melee armor = 1 best set for melee, 1 best set for mage. And ahrims is eons beyond any other mage armor. The top and bottom only. Guthans - Nice to know, but summoning has been out for a year now. I hear bronze dagger was the best weapon before iron dagger came out. Dharoks - Slayer? Not a chance, whip\proslyte and piety are far more XP. Gorillas? People actually do those? Armored zombies with whip is more XP, 190k profit, and quite a few charms. Veracs - Meleeing with a crossbow\karils top in invo works better then veracs, or black mask with a kalphite task for KQ. No other bosses are worth using it on; whip + defender is better for PVP, salamander is FAR faster for barrows. Just because no one uses the set doesn't mean it's good. I use it extensvily, as does muggiwhiplar. It's highly effective, and the top and bottom are the ONLY mage robs with a good mage attack and melee defence.

If your doing nothing whatsoever for 90 seconds, then yes you'll log off. If your DCIng, it's your computer\connections fault. I don't DC, ever.

Well thought out. I agree with everything. Pickpocketing is extremely annoying, they need to slow down the rate. Melee weapons with maxed players like myself are insanely overpowered; +180 stab? I almost never miss, and smack out 30+es at dagger speed. I frequently kill mages who are eating as fast as they can, as I can deal damage faster then they can heal. Teamed up with another maxed player like myself, we can take down any other player in seconds irregardless of defence level.

Did you cannon every possible task? Did you use piety and super sets? If not, then yes, you will make money. Should you have is another argument entirely.

Ya know, they have this thing called the appeal system...

I disagree. I did almost 1,000 hours of PVP from 70-99 defence, playing dozens of hours at each level, and I noticed a huge difference. DD++ specs will tear through a 105 combat\80 defence player in rune, but I don't even bother using them on 99 defence\300+ slash; I hit more with the flail then constant specs. I'm inclined to value 1,000 hours of PvP over a few isolated tests. I might have to try pking sometime... Do so, or just believe compfreak. When he speaks he does so when he has the data to back it up. EDIT: though i'm not sure how a tank ranger has +300 slash... maybe around 250... My PERSONAL range tank setup: Now obviously, that's for safe; I specialize in safe PVP, so it's a bit more then you might want to risk in BH :P However, it's easy to construct a much cheaper setup that still does a good job. Remember, your going to be hitting any 1 defence pure much faster then they can eat, so they'll be lucky to make it to the exit (your vengance takes care of their first attack ;) ): Protect item for DFS; if you think that's too risky, you can drop down to rune kite, which will give you 27 less slash (252). im supposed to wear that pking? thats a lot of money Look at my 2nd setup. With torags helmet it's only around 650k; you can swap it for another helm for a cost of around 250k

Something in the boot sequence, probably a bad driver or a virus, is bringing windows to a halt when it tries to load. Have you tried safe mode? Otherwise you'll probably have to back up your data and reinstall windows. Try system restore if you can get into safe mode, though. (Another valuable vista tool - startup repair, it'll automatically fix problems like this :P )

Non hotspot area of a PVP world. Random paths in lletya should be the best.

That pretty much answers your own question. Remember the event horizon is no concrete boundary where the black hole "ends", so you shouldn't really be measuring its density there. It's really the best measurement though; the event horizon is the point at which the escape velocity is greater then the speed of light, hence everything is trapped and nothing - including time - escapes. It's certainly part of the black hole.

So do I. I would be making well over 30m a day if there wasn't. I get the feeling that that's why there is, though...

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us You can get drivers for linux for the graphics card their. Basically just google the brand or product name + "linux driver".

No, he can't prove it, because it isn't true. Black holes, including the event horizon, are pretty low density. A black hole the mass of earth would be larger then the earth; a black hole with the equivalent mass of the visible universe would be LARGER then the visible universe, meaning the black hole actually has a lower density. The black hole beyond the event horizon is trapping time, light, and space in a fixed point, so it can't really be measured. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/10/30/ten-things-you-dont-know-about-black-holes/ As for the OP, just because what you know now seems to indicate a pattern doesn't mean it holds true forever - assuming quarks weren't the smallest component, we can assume SOMETHING is. Matter isn't infinity divisible; for an example look at the string theory. As stated before, unless your a team of physicists arguing or wondering about it won't really result in anything meaningful. Don't look at blogs for info, it's not reliable. What I learned about Black holes is that they're Neutron Stars that are so heavy and dense that they have enough gravity to deform time and space. They explained it a bit, but I can't make an image of what I mean :wall: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supermassive_black_hole Basically, because the volume increases faster then the mass, the heaver the black hole the less dense, and a black hole the mass of the visible universe would be much larger then the visible universe.

Not true, a high level player can easily make more then 500k per hour SC hammers greatly increase efficiency, and swing the balance even farther towards plates.

I've seen that :P Still makes me laugh :-# It's not really, I guess. Depends on the server and area.

I still don't see an argument. A windows laptop will get you roughly twice the hardware as a mac for the same price, if your good at finding dell deals. Windows has more programs in EVERY area. Period. You'll run into hundreds of things you want to do but can't on a mac; the reverse is almost never true. Any time you have a problem, good luck getting help - you can't just ask your campus IT guy.

ahahahahhahahahahaha.... I'm so bookmarking that to copy and paste into all the threads like that...

Incorrect. Feel free to post any evidence that visiting a website can give you a virus. Until then, I shall assume that you don't know something the rest of the world doesn't, and one still has to have an unpatched system\zero day vulnerability (HIGHLY unlikely), or click on something they shouldn't have. And all of those 3 require visiting a web site you shouldn't. Use SiteAdvisor (plugin for firefox :P ). Yeah, I know they have IE versions (and probably chrome by now). http://search.securityfocus.com/swsearc ... er&x=0&y=0 yeh. What about that? Fixed vulnerabilities, already mentioned before? *ahem* EDIT: There are many more vunerabilities waiting to be found. And proof of concepts. http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7806/discuss http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrary_code http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7806/exploit You still haven't posted active, in the wild websites that use an exploit. Mostly because they are very rare and quickly patched. Not that I've ever heard of anyone using the few that are found for Runescape password scamming. And unless they hijack a legit page (even less likely), you STLL have to visit a website you shouldn't have.

I still don't get the whole 'artest\photographers use macs' thing... The entire CS4 suite works great on windows, and that pretty much covers everything. 'nuff said

Already have one for this. No one uses it though :|

Why did you test from a server 9,100 miles away? :?

Wear monk robes and pray range.

It's not really nessasary to bump your thread when it's 10th down in the list...

This is a great idea actually. If we could make one of these, I could just avoid it and only look at real rants. We could make a couple: FTP deserves X X is (over\under)powered during Y X quest\minigame stinks X group of players is immature\whiny\noobs range\melee\magic is over\under powered Stupid threads sticky - post and it is instantly deleted Only problem is, we'd have about 3 threads left :|
