Then reinstall Java. See if that helps, as I know it helped someone else in a similar situation.

Knee problem
Diagnostics over the internet, none-the-less a fan site, should be considered irrelavent in most cases (save for eating glass, which you shouldn't need to ask :P ). The most fundamental advice I would give is to stay off of it and put heat on it if there isn't any swelling. Place some fidelity in those PTs.

Runescape crashing for me?
Try deleting your Runescape cache file which is located in your user folder. The file name may be similar to: "jagex_runescape_preferenaces."

Odd RS Related Lag
Do you know how to do it in Win XP and could you tell me how? Nice new avatar btw =P When I did it, I followed an online guide with screenshots. However, I cannont find that site again, but here is an excerpt from another site following a similar step. I don't know how to do it under Windows, I'm afraid. Ooo, and thanks. :P

Chrome Whitescreening
What browser? EDIT: Ahh, I see in the title. I would first open up the control panel and uninstall Java, then reinstall it. I used to have trouble with important Java files that went missing. I have also heard of some issues with 64-bit XP, though I myself have never used it. Have you ever used CCleaner? One user on these boards had Java issues when CCleaner deleted a file.

Odd RS Related Lag
Can you increase Java memory on Windows? I did so on OS X 10.5 via the Terminal. I set the values higher than that of the allocated 256mb. The max was something near 350mb. This cleared up some issues when I occasionally played RS. That and since I got my new router (802.11n) my internet connection has increased dramatically.

Do you ever get that falling feeling?
No, but I do enjoy the feeling when you think that there is another step (on a fleet of stairs), you take a step, but there is no step (on the fleet of stairs). I'm unsure if that relates at all to what you're describing.

"Swine flu can't touch this" ~ Famous Last Words
Honestly, if this is the worst disease you have to worry about, you're pretty well off. You're stating the obvious. The use of the adjective "dangerous" in that area generalizes an opinion. What it means is that it is, using your statistic, you're four millions time less likely to be in that situation in comparison to developing cancer. No matter which way you put it, you're more likely to develop cancer than being hit by a plane. In this case, you're more likely to develop cancer than to catch the swine flu right now. However, this statistic is bias in itself because the diseases are caused in extremely different ways. Environmental variables account for the majority of this bias, though. If you live in isolation, you're chances of getting the swine flu drop considerably whereas cancer is near indiscriminate towards a society.

Same, except I base their RL image on their avatar. Talset looks surprisingly similar except for the helmet.

Mouse Issue
In Runescape, while logged in, click on the wrench icon. After that, select "Mouse buttons currently 2" which is obtained by clicking the icon. As for Vista, I don't have it on this computer. I'll have to load up Windows later and see what I can find. Or until someone else comes along. :P

Mouse Issue
Your settings. It can be changed in Runescape via the in-game settings. If it is outside of Runescape (which I am, forgive me, assuming that is the game you speak of), we would need to know your operating system to change your mouse settings.

Windows 7 beta
Yup downloaded the RC last night. So far so good. I have only experienced a few bugs within IE, but I suppose that is to be expected. However, my disk read/ write decreased largely versus OS X and Linux. Yes, just partion your HD. Sorry for being a lil stupid, but how? Normally I'm pretty good with computers, though never dual booted before. It's a learning experience for me. Alright, open up Control Panel and then Administrative Tools and then computer Management. On the list to the left, you'll see a subsection called "Storage" click on that and then Disk Management. More than likely you'll either have two or one disk partions already there. So, right click on the larger partion (OS), it might be labeld as C: and hit "shrink volume." A query will come up, and tell you how much space you can partion. You're going to need at least 30GB of space, so if you can't shrink it by that much, don't try to install W7. Once you shrink it, another partion will be labeled "unallocated," right click on that partion and hit "New Simple Volume." Just make sure you're formating the maximum space on that partion, which should be there by default. And make sure it's NTFS(for W7). You've now partioned and formated a separate drive in Windows. Now all you have to do is insert the Windows 7 CD and click on the new drive you just made. MAKE SURE IT'S THE DRIVE YOU JUST MADE, OR YOU WILL ERASE OR UPGRADE YOUR CURRENT VERSION OF WINDOWS. [hide=] [/hide] (Oh and my partion was "Free Space" not "Unallocated" because I just deleted the existing format, so don't worry if yours doesn't look exactly like that.

She was supposedly handing them out. The article never stated that she was forced to strip.

You do realize that could be taken as an extremely good thing, right? :P

Breakfast and healthy life
I don't eat vegetables, and I rarely squeeze in fruits; the only things keeping scurvy at bay are vitamin tablets. My diet consists of nearly all carbs now. Cereal for breakfast, ramen and trail mix for lunch, and ramen again for dinner. Sometimes I'll even replace cereal with another bag of ramen. On occasion, the ramen noodles are cooked but I usually eat them raw.

Router Caught Fire - Looking to Buy Another
Yes, but all of the other devices run on 2.4Ghz. The 5Ghz is the one that's dropping. I'm returning this and buying the Base Station. :x

Router Caught Fire - Looking to Buy Another
Yeah, I suppose I meant simultaneous though. I went out and bought a WRT610N, but the 5Ghz frequency keeps on crashing. The only other simultaneous dual-band one at the store was the Apple Base Station. Thank you for the recommendations, but as I think of it now, I don't think I can afford to wait for a delivery. I'm going to return the Linksys, as their tech support said it qualified for a replacement. The only reason I wanted the 5Ghz is because whenever someone would call, the internet would go down because of the cordless phones. But my phone only uses 2.4Ghz so I cannot give up that frequency all together. Funny thing that you mention that last statement, Pure_MageUK, as the salesmen recommended that as well. It seemed that he was just trying to sell off old over-stocked products, nor was he catering to my situation.

Things you're afraid of.
I love getting shots. it makes me all happy inside. What kind of shots are you getting? Every shot I go to get makes my right arm feel numb. rofl, that's the fun part. Agreed, I have always loved getting shots. I've always been scared of clowns, as one nearly drowned me in a pool during my birthday.

Strip Searching A Thirteen Year Old
Using your own words, can you provide an unbiased source? Teenagers aren't the only ones effected negatively by drugs. In fact, can you provide me with something that says there are more cases of teens dying from drugs than adults or anything along those lines? Adults can be just as guilty, but yet your argument is targeting children as if they are the only ones who are known for doing this. It's under any entirely different pretext; an opinion is implied as I stated the word, "I." What would be the point of providing such as source to compare the deaths of adults vs. teens? The poll would be biased in itself with variables such as country, population, frequency of drug participation, drug exposure, etc. Adults can be guilty, but that isn't what we're arguing here. A child has no consent regarding this and has no responsibility in this situation. I wouldn't be a fan of the inconveniences attached to going to the nurse's office just to take my pill which I presumably have been taking regularly without any bad side effects. Plus I have never heard of such a rule. You can't honestly think that it's a good idea to make teens liable for going up to the office every time they have something minor like a headache. School is the only place where I've heard of such a ridiculous rule. No one else seems to freak out when they see you holding ibuprofen. The school goes straight to assuming that a kid's hearsay about drugs = automatic death. If you don't live in the U.S., I can understand. It is regulated by, I believe, the state or county. It might be an inconvenience, but it saves larger ones such as this from occurring. The sole fact that we are discussing this evidence this. You don't seem to understand that drugs have adverse side effects, especially when you give them out to kids that you know nothing of; death is a certain possibility. I'm sure that's the reason it occurs, especially when their child just died due to internal bleeding - at school. No, kids would end up without discouragement to bring these kinds of drugs to school. It's a horrible amendment to make for the sake of connivence. "Priorities" aren't a concept used in medicine. Potentially, a hallucinogenic could be a lot safer to use than a pain-killer.

Strip Searching A Thirteen Year Old
most of them are probably purposeful overdoses, allergic reactions etc. no, just no. Yes, that's how it usually works. I can't tell you the number of cases I've seen similar to that. At thirteen, the girl is just starting to develop higher levels of cognitive thinking for long-term consequences. As he puts it, they're idiots. If you could please provide an unbiased source to that. Which in retrospect isn't possible; that's a false statement. Something similar to what mmmcanabalism said, pens have a large potential at the school, unlike the drugs and certainly at variance to a weapon. But regarding you previous statement, if she housed a weapon on her person, she should be allowed to bring it to school. You're arguing the school's standards and regulations alongside federal law. It doesn't matter what drug she brought to school, it can have devastating side effects for both parties - the school and the family. The family would obviously blame the school should their child die from the drug after accepting it from another student. The act of strip searching her so swiftly was unjustifiable but there is no excuse for why she brought it to school in the first place.

My school bag/s
Function > Fashion. I think they look relatively nice though. It might be a tad hard to pull of every day if you're looking to match. The one on the right appears better in my opinion.

Strip Searching A Thirteen Year Old
Why? It is her body - not the school's. Using that same idea, am I allowed to bring what ever I chose to school? Am I above the rules? The law? the difference between having ibuprofen and a gun is that you arent posing a threat to anyone with pills; detaining the girl to prevent her distributing drugs is fine but everything the school did was over the top and not thought out. The media is the last source we should be using for this kind of situation. I disagree about pills being not threatening; they can do a lot of damage in a matter of hours with no inkling as to their destructive results. Let me refine that statement The difference between a gun and pills is largely in the possible outcomes; while there are plenty of "good" reasons to have ibuprofen at school, there is no reason at all for having a gun at school. Secondly, while pills if tainted could be used to poision a person or persons, in this situation there was no reason to believe there was such a threat(always considered but no support for it here). Taking the girl to the office for holding while her parents came and possibly a later controlled search by police(if a crime was still believed) would have been fine; searching the girl without calling her parents, without getting an attorney, and without hesitating to strip search her was ridiculous. Now, if a gun was suspected and substantiated the school would have the full need to do a pat down search and detain the girl for as long as needed to get the police and her parents to the school. You cant attack someone with a pill, so this girl was nowhere near the threat of a gun/knife/bomb. This girl was supposedly handing out pills like candy. While I agree someone should have been called, you have to ask yourself if she actually said no to the search. Even if so, is a nurse not qualified? In the United States anyways, I was legally, as an intern, allowed to view areas not covered by a bathing suit with consent. Then only issue here is that she shouldn't be her own consent as a 13 year old. The article is blatantly biased to cause commotion as there are few statements to any of the persons involved. And drugs don't have to be tainted to be dangerous - it's all the same. A police officer would have no more qualifications than a school nurse in this case, if not less so. The girl would have also had a higher chance of having an opposite sex search her. It was poor judgment with good intentions, the same as the girl.
