New Graphics Card
If that's all you need, a 560ti or even a 5770 might be a better choice for you. I'm not sure how demanding AutoCAD is though.

Wait, did you actually take a picture of you giving the finger and send it to someone?

Tip.It Times - 3rd July 2011
First article was a bit strongly worded, although I agree with what was said. When I started the second article, I thought it would be just another 'don't tell your friend your password' article, but it was quite interesting and informative. The S U O M I interview looks like it will be a good read next week. He's definitely my choice for first to 200m. EDIT: Strange, even if you double space using BBcode on one of the spaces, it still appears as a single space when displayed.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
Google removed the precise image search tools from the sidebar, and replaced them with generic options. Gahhhhhhh rage rage rage.

Clean Windows 7 Install
What version did you buy? I mean OEM or Retail. I believe if you're going from vista to 7 with a retail copy you don't need a format, but otherwise a clean install would be best. Do some googling, I'm not 100% sure on this. Also make sure you have the driver CD for your laptop or certian things may not work.

New Graphics Card
Make sure you have enough power for the card you buy (use the newegg calculator), and that you have the right slot for it, i.e. PCIe-16x vs. AGP. For your pricerange, you're looking at a GTX 570 being your best option. Remember if you use NCIX to price shop around, and pricematch to the lowest price. As for the TV, you'd need a DVI-VGA adapter plug, which usually comes with the card, and then a VGA-RCA cable.

Census 2.0
It is likely that the majority of those who voted as such are "agnostic." I am too, but I placed myself under "atheist." Pastafarians are sadly unrepresented in the poll.

Possible way to fix RS Economy?
But if you use the martingale system and double your bets every time you lose, it beats the system. You'll be infinitely wealthy! I will not bite. :D I'm tempted...

One of the things that really helped me become a slightly better speller....not looking at the keyboard. If you don't have a spell checker (IE8 Today, IE8 Tommorrow, IE8 FOREVER) then you NEED to learn how to touch type. Then you can look at the screen while you type and thus see the mistakes as you make them. Polotic looks wrong, but if I just typeed polotics, then I might not realuse I had made any mistakes untill I looked up again. IE8? FIREFOXES! KILL THE INFIDEL WITH FLAMES! And as I said, most American Conservatives are stupid. Fox news is the best example of this. Seriously, try watching an hour of their commentator's shows. It's almost as funny as the Daily Show, except they're trying to be serious. [Removed political rant]

DED BLOG IS DED
Finally done 4 straight days of painful work, so now it's update tiem! I didn't get much done the last few days, but I got some good playtime in tonight. I was on my way to do the sick sheep quest, when I walked past the cake stalls in Ardougne, and decided to train thieving. I got level 30 on the cake/silk stalls, then moved to wine/seed stalls in Draynor. My new short term goal is 38 for Master Farmer pickpocketing, and 50 long term for the Silver Stall. Also got 1000 total levels, so I can now use the f2p skill total world. Finally, some nice guy named randomly gave me 500k while I was thieving in Ardougne, so I went out and bought my brackish blade <3. Next step is finishing my Guthix set, with a plate. They're really cheap right now, so that should happen soon once I go back to fletching and alching. Also did a bit of agility after completing the Barcrawl at the Barbarian course with my new Surefooted Aura, but didn't get any levels worth screenshotting. I'm going to be training thieving (and defence pwnting guards) for the next couple days, then it'll be back to either slayer or fletching and alching.

I'm enjoying this blog. Are you going with buying/selling from npc shops or not?

Addicted To Runescape
I'm not addicted in the sense that I feel like I should be playing when I'm doing something else, but I play more than I like. I managed to double my xp from my 2 years in f2p in about a week of p2p, so take that as you will.

200M in all Skills
Wow, I can't believe he's gaining this quickly. Anyone think he may end up being the first to all 200ms? Nah, he has too much stuff to do IRL. I won't be suprised if he stops playing a lot after he's done with dung. I'm curious to know who gets the honour of dunging with him though.

[TF2] It's MANN Vs. Machine!
I just downloaded this game yesterday, and I have to say it's the most fun I've had playing a FPS game ever. I find sniper and heavy the most fun to play as, but medic and pyro are kinda fun too. Anyone have good server recommendations?

Firefox Addons
Adblock Pus - Especially during RS to get rid of those unsightly flash ads. That's actually the only one I use right now. FF5 messed up on the update and I had to reinstall it, and I've yet to replace the addons I lost.

Buying a laptop, not sure what to look for
I think the general consensus is that intels are better, but not necessarily better 'bang for your buck'. At higher tiers you should definitely be looking towards intel. As of today, if you're going for gaming, Intel beats AMD starting at the $120 pricepoint with the i3 2100. By the time you reach $180-200, there is no AMD processor that can compare to the i5 2500k. That said, AMD is still good for a budget gaming rig, as the money is better spent getting a better GPU. However, AMD has Bulldozer and Llano coming up soon, and Intel has Ivy Bridge coming out Q4 '11 or Q1 '12, so the game could change in the coming year.

Can I run RS on the highest specs with...
Intel HD graphics are alright compared to the old Intel GMA chipsets, but they still are worse than most 4xxx and up Ati/AMD onboard chipsets.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
When you switch emails to avoid the masses of spam you get on a daily basis, carefully choose which sites you give this spam free email to, then one of the sites gets hacked because their auditors can't secure their computers properly, the databases get leaked, and suddenly you have more spam than a low income senior. All my raeg.

The Back Room
I cba to take the test again, but last time I did it it put me somewhere around -2,-3.5 (assuming 5,-5 as the max/min). In reality I'd put myself closer to -1, -3. If you had brought up politics a bit earlier, I could have posted a nice long rant about how stupid the average American voter is, but I'm too tired to word it properly. The tl;dr of it is that the 'Any tax raise is a bad thing' mindset is stupid because the small amount of money you save won't mean a thing when your country collapses under debt because you needed low taxes and a nice shiny army. And on a lighter but still slightly morbid topic, I discovered today that the best way to kill spiders and centipedes in your basement is to spray them with axe.

200M in all Skills
Ah, thanks. TBH none of them are really that spectacular looking. I'll probably pick up the Agility one, to help with Agility pyramid. Even jack of trades wouldn't be useful for any of the top players though if 10k xp per lamp is true.

How do you already have auras? I only started with 500 points, and I thought they said that everyone was starting with a fresh slate... To keep this post OT, when is Elias expected to get 3B?

So guys, lets say theoretically I had a body, and I needed to dispose of that body in the next, oh let's say, 2 hours. What would be the theoretical best way of doing it. Theoretically.
