I hereby propose that all physics lessons must be in a pirate voice forthwith, and all examples within must be pertaining to pirates. All who say yarr?

Oh, it's a fletching/runecrafting thing. I can deal with that, it's a good idea.However, I still have doubts regarding the xp system, although I understand you better now. Dungeoneering is about working with the resources available to you and using the products to progress. Simply gathering the resources might gain you favour in the skill you used to get at the ores/logs/whatever, but not using them afterwards is something that you should be avoiding because it's time wasting. You should use those resources efficiently instead of going about and obliterating every rock or tree or passing dinosaur, expecting a reward when you never used the products.

A fair few shopkeepers haven't been updated, and it detracts from the whole thing. They should have just picked and applied generic but updated models instead of just not changing them.

If you look at policy, rather than personality, he's stood up to country leaders time and time again in the interest of Europe as a whole. the politicians of europe "misunderestimated" him based on his introvert and uncharismatic personality. I can't think of a stronger candidate in terms of policy, which is what matters to you and me. Personality is only part of media appearances and leader to leader discussions. political bartering, organization, focus and compromise are his strenghts. I'd much rather have someone qualified than someone popular, which is what we'd get with a popular vote. In europe as a whole, who could we all relate to, someone spanish, german, swedish? I think celebrity politicans would be much over-represented. Do you really think that anyone has the right to hold that kind of position over so many radically different countries, people, and cultures? It's frankly repulsive.

Why not both? Why not present ethical questions to students then offer answers through various religions or non-religion, leaving them to make their own mind up? I come from a primarily Christian school, but that's what we do here and it works very well in terms of personal answer searching. There doesn't need to be any kind of singing or worshipping, just discussion with each other and learning.

Here's mine: Confirmation warning when entering a boss room If you click on a door that leads to a boss on the other side, a confirmation dialogue appears which you must click to enter. There have been far too many cheap deaths that ruins the atmosphere of the final battle in a dungeon when two people click on a door to 'reveal' a room at the same time. One person actually reveals the room, and the other person gets hurtled into the gaping jaws of Har'lakk the Riftsplitter or something.

P2p should be fixed before F2p seeing as F2p is a demo. Paying customers come first. Wow, people still think this? F2P is the core of the game, it's where the basic mechanics of the combat triangle lie because it's relatively simple. P2P should just expand on those concepts. If you haven't fixed the basic concepts, you're going to screw up the expansion.

I like the concept, but there is the inventory issue. We need to have some methods a-la combination runes to collapse down the number of types of runes you need to carry about and/or a way to keep a few types of runes in equipment slots. Having more than one staff as well will be a nightmare for food and potions. I like the concept though, it should be linked to Runecrafting, because you're messing with runes themselves instead of actually casting spells. What's wrong with binding more than one spell to a staff? I would like to right click an enemy and it has 'Entangle Man (Level 2)' just below 'Fire Surge Man (Level 2)'. Magic is supposed to use binds and stat drains as its defence, it need to be easier and faster.

Grab a router. It'll manage your connections for you and you can get wireless while you're at it.

Nowadays, you'll almost never see red/blue tinted glasses, for obvious reasons. Instead, you use polarising glasses and a polarising monitor, or alternating glasses (one eye turns black, then switches to the other eye, 120 or more times each second) in sync with an alternating monitor. Neither of those generally give you headaches.

What about their immigration politics don't you like? (just a question - don't know enough about UK to give you a pro/no reply) What I don't like, not sure if this is the same for Hex, is how they've cleverly made people think that the arbitrary cap on immigration applies to ALL immigrants, not just non-EU ones. So yeah, cap non-EU immigrants. It's not going to do a THING to stop immigration from the EU. I agree, they have tried to make out that they've 'capped immigration' when they haven't. It still irritates me that they won't say no to the EU when I'm fairly sure most of them want to. By the way, isn't discriminating between immigrants based purely from their country of origin pure racism? It needs to be all or nothing.

I suppose a silent computer is very desirable. As I understand it, it's still necessary to remove the hot air from the radiator if you use water cooling, so you're back to a fan or two again. Still, if they're good fans, it's still pretty acceptable. Ah, I don't know. My rig's totalled up eight fans now and it get really loud sometimes. Late EDIT: Out of curiosity, how does a 4 monitor 2x2 system compare with 3 monitors in a row? Isn't it a bit awkward looking up as well as slightly left and right?

Yes it does, the fiscal deficit is huge and cutting it should be the first priority for any new government, as the conservatives have rightly made it. I wonder if any government manages to run budget surpluses to repay debt during the next decade. It's not even about reducing public deficits to less than 3% of GDP anually. It needs to be about building up surpluses, while we raid the world of all non-renewable soruces. What's going to be left for everyone after us? Renewable sources. If the government does what it's supposed to do, there'll be renewable sources.

New WOM quest by the same guy who gave us My Arm's Big Adventure. What's not to like?

That would keep people somewhat happy but it doesn't fix the real problem which Jagex really should work on. The problem is that if, for whatever reason, you need to log out (including system updates, lag, or you just need to leave) you lose all your progress (granted you get a small amount of exp) and leave your friends without (often required) help, unless if it's just because of lag since then you can usually quickly rejoin (though you can't if you're soloing which is another huge issue). That's impossible to fix without breaking the skill. The idea is that you succeed in various situations all in as few lives as possible. If you only have to go though the start of the dungeon and not bother with the boss, you should be heavily penalised. I simply think that they should work on increasing the countdown from 10 mins to 60 mins. If it means that they might have to cancel mid countdown in an emergency, that's fine. At least we get a warning.

Just one of the many fine examples of logic we have regarding politics on OT. Not entirely. The main priority of a PM is supposed to be that they havr the confidence of the Commons, Lords and the public in running the country. Over 60% of the British people do not have confidence in him, thus want to punch him. Correction, 60% of the British people think that someone else would be better as prime minister. It's just that who that person is isn't agreed upon. That doesn't mean that every single person who didn't vote for the conservatives do not have confidence in them. Sorry, it's just that things like this irk me.

PR simply increases the chance of giving disproportionate power to parties like the Lib Dems, who, in a hung parliament, are now in a significant position of power despite having a smaller proportion of the votes and far fewer seats compared to Labour. Is that fair and justified? Of course not. In the end, fairness is not guaranteed or definable in any system, but at least First Past the Post reduces the chances of this kind of thing happening. Just be glad that we got the Lib Dems as the kingmakers, instead of a more extremist party.

Just one of the many fine examples of logic we have regarding politics on OT.

Hurrah for getting rid of Brown, but it was going to happen anyway. I really doubt we'll know what the government's going to be made of today or tomorrow. Yes, Con-Lib coalition talks are getting to advanced stages now, but the Lib Dems still need to decide among themselves whether they want to sidle up with a party that's so ideologically different as opposed to a less popular party that's more ideologically similar. It's a bit of a 'stick or twist' dilemma for them, and it's probably going to take a while yet.

I'd just buy the PSU and get it over with if you don't have one already. A decent PSU (400W and above) is the most versatile component of a computer, and it's almost guaranteed to have the 6-pin connector (but remember to check if you buy one!). Cheap adapters exist which would give you what you want, but I'd prefer to futureproof it.

I'm torn between real ales and cider. Being in Norwich, we have pubs that brew their own beers, some of which are the finest in the country. I'm especially fond of a certain beer called 'Fat Cat Honey Ale', which quite literally has Norfolk honey in it. Ever since a certain 'incident' involving Vodka and bad pizza which happened about a year ago, I've never enjoyed spirits since.

Good God. I see what you mean now. It opens on the right, but the motherboard's been flipped upside down and fixed the the left, which is the opposite of what normal (hint hint, Dell) cases do. If you can unscrew and detach all of the crap that's in front of the motherboard, though, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to take out the motherboard, turn it 180 degrees on it's plane and then stick it in the normal case through the left hand side. You might need to buy a processor fan if the one in there refuses to detach from the black cover thing with the hazard sign, but that shouldn't be too much of an issue. The expansion cards look like they're aligned correctly anyway, so you shouldn't have a problem with that.

Don't hope for that, getting a computer virus is a terrible experience. In any case, get a backup system if you haven't already got one, just in case. That way he might learn an important lesson and still keep most of his data at the same time.

Surely it would make more sense if they were inconsistently inconsistent? The change you suggested might well happen, it would after all eliminate prayer flashing, but I think Jagex are planning to put out Constitution boosters/damagers first. The thought of a 'weapon' which slowly impedes your ability to heal instead of dealing direct damage is a slightly terrifying thought. Suddenly you're going to have to consider a balance of restoration potions and food to heal, which makes combat a bit more complicated and interesting. On the other hand, you could come up with NPCs/weapons that reduce your, er, 'Prayer Point' skill instead of just draining prayer points themselves. Making the separation is potentially a good idea.

It's a disadvantage that you have to deal with. By nature, irons and steels are found mixed together, so the task is about dealing with that.
