Allow me to clear up the sun issue for you guys: The sun weighs in at 1 solar mass... That means that it is a main sequence star. It also means that it BEGAN as the planetary nebulae- after sufficient contraction, it facilitated fusion reactions. It was created 5 billion years ago. Using standard formulas, the sun's age as the main sequence star is 10 billion years, which yields 5 billion years into the future... That'll be when it exits the main sequence, and runs out of hydrogen within its core. Then it's in a dilemma. Thus, gravity pulls it tighter, and it heats up, facilitating helium reactions. This will cause it to swell into a red giant. Once it runs out of all possible fuel, it will shed its outer layer (Not by blowing up, but by dispersal)... After which it becomes a white dwarf (which is basically the naked core), and after it's done... a black dwarf. And before all that occurs, we may reach the state of Armageddon on Earth- self- facilitated suicide. However, we will disperse- technology will lead us to colonise other planets, which may or may not facilitate our existence...

That's good then- at least no chance of identity theft..... (well, a minimised one) And the fact that AVG picked it up is even better... And would you mind posting a HijackThis log?

Agreed. Thus far we have a (generally) unanimous consensus.

It is... As a "100% F2P" myself, I'll agree with the above post- it's not an achievement at all... Quite honestly, it just says that you weren't willing to fork over the money, or you're too cheap. And I was the former...

With dragon- they both have their strengths, and are equally matched, relatively speaking.... With Adamant and Rune, it's definitely the scimitar Bronze-Steel- I prefer the longsword, although the Steel Scimitar is great too... Mithril- Either....

Why not just have a thread which lists the forum's moderators? That would simplify things, and it's not link everyone needs to contact a mod all the time....

Fiction- the fact is that they NEVER have switched, on any major planet, without a rattling collision. And that collision won't happen, so I doubt the poles would switch... And Apocolyptic theories have been out since the beginnings of mankind- the year 1000, 1066 (William the Conquerer, anyone?), 2000, etc....

Every time one opens the index, a vast list of moderators is observed- mind you, these are forum-specific. Some have been extended to two lines, due to their vastness- some span multiple color ranges... The vast list of moderators (forum-specific), leads to unnecessary clutter, and does appear to be a nuisance.... Perhaps the list of moderators for each section ought to be posted as a sticky/announcement in that thread, with a compilation of all in another? That would greatly simplify matters, not to mention make the index page more navigable, and be more of an index...

Darwin- not at all.... And I've been considering dual booting with linux, but what I really want to know is how compatible are games with it? Because if I have to reboot just for that one game, etc, then it definitely isn't worth it....

If it was incomplete that meant it never finished downloading- then it shouldn't be a problem... The crashes seem to indicate something else though- did anything else pop up?

As long as the trojan was never run, then no... If it was- well, you may... In the future, tell your sister (and anyone else who DL's anything), to watch the file type in the limewire (or torrent software) window- it should say mp3, or another trusted extension- if it's blank or exe... just don't get it....

Yup... Freakin hilarious... Wish I had a copy of that... he actually knew how to write properly, which made it all the worse....

Battlefields would be nice, but would require a huge amount of server space- maybe that may explain the increase in membership fees?

Not to mention Obama's stance on healthcare- it is IMPOSSIBLE to offer every American free healthcare. Look at Britain, and tell me how it went there. The only way it can be offered in in tiers- one may pay a higher tax to get better benefits, and the funds are placed into a national pool from which insurers may withdraw from. This would lower the effect on individual consumers, but, of course, this MUST be limited to tax-payers....

Fasterfox- Obsolete now that FF3 came out- they still have to update it... if you have FF2, then use it- it really helps... If you're willing to mess with the about:config, go ahead, (only if you know what you're doing) [if using FF3] Better Gmail 2- Adds a variety of features into Gmail, only appears when you open your account with FF, and overall, it makes reading a lot easier... DownThemAll! - A download manager that somewhat speeds up downloads- it's relatively useful for me... Download Statusbar - A must have- places a little bar on the bottom of your screen, telling you the status of your downloads... Google Toolbar! - It's google, and simplifies things- personally, I use the embedded search in FF for wikipedia.... Morning Coffee - Basically, it puts an icon next to the Stop/Refresh buttons, near the address bar, and when clicked on, it'll open certain cites that you program it to. You can set some sites to open everyday, some on particular days, etc. (useful when you just turn on the computer and want to read your usual news, etc) Speed Dial- An Opera feature that's been integrated as an addon- it displays thumbnails of sites that you choose when you open a new tab, a blank page, or open FF, or as your homepage- very useful for 1 click access to your most viewed sites... Those are some of the best that I use right now, and weren't posted thus far.... '
