  1. Alternatively I like to use CPUID's Hardware Monitor. It provides a bit more information than CoreTemp but isn't as compact.
  2. [spoiler=Previous Post]Surprised there's not a topic about this yet. The Humble Indie Bundle 4 was just released recently and is only out for another week. For those who don't know it's a pay what you want system where you choose the price and how the money gets divided up between developers, charity, and the Humble Bundle site. As a bonus they've also included most of the Humble Bundle 3 games as well if you pay more than the average. Basically you get: Super Meat Boy Jamestown Shank Bit.Trip Runner Nightsky HD And if you pay more than the average you also get: Gratuitous Space Battles Cave Story+ Crayon Physics Deluxe Cogs VVVVVV Hammerfight And Yet It Moves I'd really recommend everyone to get it, it's an amazing deal. :thumbup:
  3. essiw pretty much summed up my thoughts 100% but I guess it depends on if it would be a quick fix for a techie or not. CPU shouldn't be a problem at all because it takes very little to open a webpage and even with a mobile version it won't save that much more space than it can be shrunk down to already.
  4. Supply-side economics says these two discussions are inseparably linked. Yeah your right, what I should have said is to stop arguing over whether you should play efficient or not. It was veering towards the fun vs. efficient argument again which is discussed to death elsewhere.
  5. I've cleaned up the last little bit of this thread as it's gone way off topic. Neither side is going to budge so let's just drop it and discuss the economics side of red chins, not whether it's worth hunting them or not; that's something for the help and advice forum.
  6. Lol your name change has made my_day.

  7. You'll need to reinstall programs, reset preferences and all that on your desktop. For copying your files over, if they aren't too big and you have a fairly big usb you could use that, otherwise perhaps a crossover ethernet cable. (Not too sure about this since I've never had to connect this way) I have a lenovo laptop right now and it's the best laptop I've ever owned. Might just depend on the model though. *shrug*
  8. I noticed that too, seems like the Jagex marketing team is going full force and I guess you can't really blame them. F2P still gets some fixes, a graphics update and an event though which is pretty nice. They don't have to be restricted in marketing members to be the number one free game, they just have to respect and look out for their free community as well.
  9. It's amazing how the smallest updates are making me the most excited for this month. :D Toolbelt, moneybag, and chat updates are going to be great.
  10. The referenced page that number was gotten from lists 1M+ subscribers and 8.5M+ active accounts. How is it misrepresentation? The numbers are very outdated. It states there are 1+ million subscribing accounts when we know from the highscores that there are only roughly 600k right now. Either way the letter was a good read with a lot of points I agreed with.
  11. Taking away F2P highscores doesn't help pay staff, which is what's being complained about. I agree that F2P don't need updates but taking away existing services and then giving a bad excuse for it is something that's wrong.
  12. H&A moves so fast already I really wouldn't want a subforum cluttering up the top of the page. Same with General Discussion, we already have 2 subforums and a bunch of stickies there. I know the events forum isn't very active but the only places that it could be made a subforum under are busy enough as it is and the events forum is something we need to have even if it's not used often. I'd prefer just to keep this one where it is.
  13. Monster Hunting + Minigames would be a good way to go for the TET. Also hosting events at different times may be something to consider as not everyone can always make the 9:00pm GMT on Saturdays.
  14. Apologies if something like this is being worked on but I was wondering if the shops/bestiary landing pages would be updated to a similar format as the items database is with "Recent Entries" and "Most Viewed Entries". It would be a lot more functional and create a more uniform design across all the databases.
  15. THIS USER NEEDS MORE RED IN THEIR NAME. ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU AWESOME OLD MAN!

  16. So basically what your saying is since you didn't give damn about highscores when you were F2P that automatically makes it fact for everyone else? Not everyone wants to play the game the way you do and generalizing an opinion on why we shouldn't be complaining just off of that doesn't bring up a very convincing argument. What you are failing to realize is that a great majority of the posters in this thread (myself included) are in the exact category you are telling us to listen to. Most of us are current players who have been through F2P and we feel it's wrong because given our past experience, we have found high scores to have been a beneficial part of F2P that contributes to the overall game's community and design.
  17. Why not write down your key code and do a fresh install of that version of Photoshop? Chances are that will fix your problem.
  18. Yeah because if your a member and you botted that's A-OK for you to be on the highscores! Really fair. :/ Correct me if I'm wrong but if I'm reading this right; as a F2P player you are either dormant or a bot? I find that a bit odd. Yep. They also say that they believe in an overall community yet changes like this just segregate P2P and F2P even further by not allowing them to compare scores and compete.
  19. Lets hope so or else Jagex will have just killed all calculators and tracking websites for f2p. I suppose on a slightly positive note this could be an opportunity for dedicated f2p highscore websites being created by fans? It is now so that if you are not ranked in the highscores your stats will still be in signatures and trackers (for example my strength level), so maybe they could just save that and those trackers would be no problem and you could even create your own highscore for f2p. Your strength level shows because Tip.it's stat signatures are designed so that if you have one unranked skill it will calculate that level based on your total level. When Jagex removed F2P highscores they'll also be removing the corresponding lite highscores for F2P which fansites use for stat tracking/signatures so F2P won't have any access to the skill levels outside of the game.
  20. My favourites: What about F2P comparing with F2P? This is basically Jagex saying screw you to Runehead. This has nothing to do with the question asked. Jagex keeps going on and on about it being to remove dormant accounts yet they've failed to give an explanation to why they just don't make it so you have to log on once a month to be on the highscores or something similar.
  21. They do, just change the forum skin to the Tip.it theme. :thumbup:
  22. But they don't give them out forever, they are usually given for a brief time, nor do you hear customers asking for bigger and better free samples and for recognition that they have 'sampled' their goods.....talk about apples and oranges! No but they do change what types of free samples they give out. That's why you can't really compare a game to a store. You don't see Jagex giving out trials of the cooking skill one day and then fletching the next. Taking away the highscores is almost like a store saying "We've scrapped our rewards point system so you lose all your points". Yes it's not an essential thing to have, but taking away something that's been available for so long is going to hurt your customer base. Also Mod Emilee posted an FAQ thread on the forums if anyone wants to read: [qfc]16-17-732-63382107[/qfc]
