Zombie Plans-Revised
Just remembered they're called arm guards. Shoulder armour would be good, but it would probably only be used to stop you from being shot. Which is a great thing should we need to worry about raider. That was if they aim for your head and miss enough you will still be able to shoot. Although to stop a bullet it would be rather heavy, so it may not be useful for lugging around. In my opinion, a helmet would be perfect in the case that the wearer becomes infected, as it then stops them from biting people, but it couldn't be anything that could stop a bullet, or else that zombie could keep on going. A gas mask would probably be the headgear of choice. Never know what might be airborne that a zombie has set off. Story time. e.g. A toxic chemical that the zombie has swallowed, for reasons unknown, and is later released as a gas when the zombie's stomach explodes from eating. This gas is one that is fatal to humans in small doses and is heavier then air and so it stays low inside the room. Raiders later come in this room looking for more ammo as they are low and upon entering the room inhale the fumes, and are dead before leaving the building. We later come along with our gas masks and notice dead raiders with no sign of infection and take their ammo. In heaven the raiders yell hax as we avoid death's grasp. End of story time. :D

Speakers wont work after XP reinstall
Try updating your sound card driver, installing them if you didn't after install. This should fix your problem. If you're not sure what drivers to download go to Start > Control Panel > Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers That should be your sound card, if there is more than one then it should be the one to do with audio. Right click on it and select Update Driver Software...

Over-Ear Headphones
C...D...Player...?Yes, I know what they are I have a nice set of Sony MDR-XD100 headphones. They don't have a mic but seeing as you didn't mention them as a requirement I will assume that it doesn't matter. The have really nice Bass, a rather lengthy cable, excellent sound and I sometimes forget I am wearing them. Remember to read people's review on the headphones, they'll give you a broad range of views on the headsets. If the site doesn't have reviews then look elsewhere for them.

Runescape ports are blocked off, need help.
It wouldn't be your ISP, they would gain nothing by blocking those. The only ports they would block would be of ones used for BitTorrent traffic, most ISPs only throttle traffic through those ports though. Have you tried what DeeKay mentioned?

Never display a Notification Icon
It would have been awesome if it was free, but it will do great until I can find free program. (Why do companies charge so much for these kinds of programs?)

Never display a Notification Icon
I am running Vista and would like to have TrueCrypt run, but not display in the notification area. I am not meaning hiding it like an inactive icon, but rather not display there at all. So when I click on expand hidden icons it doesn't display, but I could still mount a TrueCrypt volume (using a hotkey.) Is there any way of doing this? If you need more info please just let me know. If anyone knows how to word this better, please do, as I am not good at wording things. No, I will not tell you what is in any of my volumes. :shame:

How Often Do You Restart?
Mine only goes off when mum is a [bleep] and turns off my powerboard, which I will kill her for one day (not really,) as my computer is always on when she does that. Apart from that it was only off the day I installed Vista, as I did all the updates I needed then, and none of the updates out now I need. The next time I turn it off will be when I install Windows 7, or if me and my friends can argue enough to decide where our LAN party will be before Tafe starts again....

Firefox 3.5 - What do you think?
Browsers seem to become more like each other because in each update they have to fix issues people have, and then add features people would like. What would they like? Those features from another browser that they would like to have on the browser that they use. Why would they want to swap browser over 1 thing it doesn't have? I only want firefox to become faster and more secure. Oh and I can't wait to see what Mozilla can do to the speed with multi-core functionality. :D

Call of Duty: World at War
Lets see the difference, I play in Normal TDM. You play in Hardcore. I am Australian. You are not. Australia has extremely bad internet. Your country probably is 3x better or much more. With australian internet even if I am the host it still lags like a knob, and when I'm not the host the lag could be from 2 seconds to like 8. And if I *do* hit them when they're moving they usually dont die. And Mage, how about we callthe wii the 'wii'? :P And I thought you have CoD5? Cant you go into private game and check o.O? Holy [cabbage]! You can host? I am the only person who can connect if I do. I need to find a way to make it so I can't host, in any game.

Today...
To give those excuses I think I'd have to pretend to be developmentally delayed... Holy crap, I might just have to do that. If they don't accept it I can just tell them that they're not taking me seriously because of my mental condition. :thumbup: :thumbup: Are you ACTUALLY going to act like you have a mental condition? -.- No, just remarking at the fact that it would probably work if I did. :D Oh l0rd. You've got far too much shix in you... Not good. My suggestion : Make up some semi-decent story and if they do not accept, ask to go to the manager. And from their, if they still do not accept, threaten to go to the Consumer Representative Council and lodge a complaint. [i think you have one in America ?] Worked for me a few times. Can you expand that for me in a PM? I want to return something that I got a few weeks ago, but it turned out I have no use for it. So I wasted $30. >_<

Zombie Plans-Revised
Bombs would only be useful at blowing up stuff, such as a bridge. I would only use explosives for killing zombies if you could get it to explode above them and if as much shrapnel as possible was directed into their brains. Even then they would be better traded with idiots for guns/ammo. "Of course we will trade you these 2 (useless) stinger missiles for 100K bullets! Want our (also useless) C4 with a (non-working) detonator in exchange for some female companions?" Well bombs would do some major damage to the zombies even if shrapnel was not directed to their brains. Ever played Nazi Zombies in CoD:WaW? Well there are Crawlers in it, the most [bleep] annoying things ever. They crawl along the ground, they blend in the corpses and are a pain in the [wagon] to spot. They are, more often than not, what kills me in the game. Think what they would be like in real life, they could be crawling just about anywhere, you may be walking through a creek and one, which was submerged, bites you as you could not see it. Bam, you've just become their best buddy while they eat your leg. You're supposed to find the last zombie, throw a grenade at its feet and let it crawl while you do your thing (board up windows, gamble at the box). But I hate when my team takes too long without killing the crawler and the game resets itself. yeah, we do that, but the [developmentally delayed] with the 'nades has to spam them and run off past me so when they come into the area they go after me. If I'm facing the other way then I'll always get downed as I won't see them as I turn around. :( Maybe we should get some form of light armour for our forearms, hands, shins and feet. the forearm ones should be able to deflect a blade though. That way we can better defend ourselves against crawling zombies, raiders and against zombies biting our forearm. They wouldn't defend us 100% against them, but would give us a better defence.

Call of Duty: World at War
Sorry to bring this back up, but would you be happy if it was the entertainment console? As it is one that anyone in the family can play, and seems to be popular with the elderly.That way we will stop calling certain consoles 'proper' ones and others not. As for the glitching, can't help you there, I only know of 2 glitches and they are in Castle. I would assume they have been fixed. one was bayonet jumping the other my friend discovered by accident, where he got stuck in part of the map and you wouldn't notice them most of the time. I was shown both in private matches while at the friend's house.

Why can't adults drink?
People drink for many reasons, to find an escape from abuse, to escape from stress caused by a rocky marriage or work, because their friends do, are at a social event, to get drunk, they enjoy the taste and other reasons. Just because you don't see inything in excessive drinking, other people clearly do. A few of the reasons I gave above explain why. There is no point in trying to argue against alcohol, saying that it is completely useless and has no place using bias. We can see that your father was a [bleep] and drank too much, that doesn't make alcohol an awful substance. Yeah, I think excessive drinking is going to negatively affect people, it doesn't mean I go around tell people it is awful and that they have no to drink alcohol. Smirnoff != coke Also of course they will sell it for a lot more, the cost of making it might be sure, it is an alcohol, so there may be a tax on it, as an alcopop it is seen as the thing to drink at a party, so you will buy a lot when you have a party, so the companies make huge profits on sales. This was typed at 4AM, but I had to type it while it was still on my mind.

Worst way to die
After search a bit on Google (I had forgot the name of it) I finally found something called the Grape Vine. NEVER TEST THIS ON SOMEONE, I AM ONLY SHOWING IT FOR THIS THREAD, IT WILL KILL THE PERSON [hide=]A hard-to-believe restraint technique used by special forces in WWII, the "grape vine" is being demonstrated here for information purposes only. Do not try this unless under the supervision of a qualified person. The secret to this restraint comes from chosing an appropriate tree or post, and from correct body positioning (the prisoner is less likely to escape if forced down). Get the captive to hold to a tree or post 5 to 7 inches in diameter, and cross his/her legs as illustrated on the picture. Force them down the trunk or pole, until they are locked into the restraint position. It generally suggested that two strong adults be present in order to extricate the captive from the restraint position. After 10 to 15 mins in this position, the captive's legs will cramp up, which will cause them to throw themselves backwards. This may kill them! I'm not sure I understand the physiology behing it well.... But after a while (10 to 15 mins), you start getting cramp in your legs, which become unbearable... The natural reaction is to let go off your hands to relieve the pain, which forces you to fall backwards. This unnatural position places pressure on your ribcage, and your breathing is restricted. Eventually, you pass out, and your lungs may collapse if you are not pulled out... I haven't tested this though. Colonel Fairbairn, who first described this technique, actually writes that this "will" (not "may") kill them. I assume he was speaking from experience... not a nice thought...

What if we called the PS3, 360 and PC full HD consoles? Seeing as they can all be played at 1080p.

Why can't adults drink?
If people were more mature then we wouldn't need age restrictions on things, as the people wouldn't abuse it and would use judgement before doing something that could ruin their life of the life of others. Getting a job at 16 allows you to prepare for having to support yourself, as you will need to divide your money to what you need and then what you want. It also means you can save up for a car and start saving for a house that you will end up buying one day. I have asked myself this before, many a time. My best guess would be that with the broad types of porn, including the more violent/erotic kinds that it is best if they didn't start viewing it at 16. I think we should be getting back onto alcohol, unless you want to convince the OP to make it more of a why can't we _____ when we are ___ years old? kind of thread.
