When I was going to need one for a funeral it was the same free pick and delivery deal, but it was $110. I guess that could just be the place by me's pricing...

That's how it was on the day of release, but it's since been fixed, or so I understand. You'd get one chance per platebody.

Excellent idea for research, and very well documented.

Then you, my friend are missing out. Lucky for you, Lucid is just sitting on a server or a homemade disk waiting for a new home.... And you can always dual-boot: it fits onto like 5gib (full-install) if you really want it to.

And another reason to hate DRM and built-in content management.

How can it be confusing to use? I agree about it not being great for music, but neither is the Microsoft Crashware that we call Windows Media Player; use Songbird instead. VLC doesn't use a fancy UI, it doesn't list your music, playlists etc. And I disagree about WMP being bad for music. It has a easy to use UI, easy to make up playlists etc etc. It does what a music player should and it doesn't do anything stupid. Oh and I've been using WMP for about 5 years and I could count the amount of times it's crashed on me on one hand. That's pretty good if you ask me. I said that I already agreed about it being not that great for music. I disagree with it not crashing: first off all, you can only run it on Windows, so it's doomed to crash, it's got built in DRM, it's had multiple serious exploits... I'm sure that I'll think of more later, as well. Songbird, on the other hand, it free, cross-platform, in my opinion is better than WMP, although I'm sure it's at least as good, is open source, had huge numbers of extensions, and isn't targeted by hackers. It's stability on Linux is impressive, although I don't know about on Windows.

Agreed. It would be cool to know, though. I've wondered about this a few times, but not really enough for them to use their updating resources on it.

I agree, the prayer is a good idea. Doubt that the ring would go over well though, since it would make almost all monsters AFKable.

It can be done, it's just not very effective. (Yet.)

I called Cogeco today, and they're like "well, other people using the Internet is unlikely, so maybe it's your modem" So my Mom and I went over, and we replaced the modem. I doubt it will actually fix anything, and I made their customer service go nuts: Lady: "Well, you know, it's really hard to use such a secure network." Me: "No, it's actually not." Lady: "Is the password on it the same as the little number thingy on the bottom of the router?" Me: "You meant the MAC address? No. I have a 20+ character hidden SSID, WAP encryption, decreased signal strength and a password that gets changed every 24 hours." Her: "Yes, that's what I mean, it would be a lot of work to crack that!" Me: "No, not really: you can crack a network quickly if you have the right tools, usually in under 5 mins." Her: "Can I talk to your mother?" Then she was telling my Mom that she should be keeping a close eye on me, and that I was an illegal hacker and that it was all my fault, me being an evil and morally-questionable child. :rolleyes:

I know this post is old, but since I am browsing, I figured I'd reply. AVG8 now removes spyware, so I no longer use AdAware. Anyway, I found AdAware 7 to be a bit buggy - it always crashed whenever it ran an update check. : No offence, but I hate that pile of ... y'know. I installed it once, and the next thing I know my hard drive is corrupted. Full of spyware. Correlation, not causation. Spyware doesn't corrupt harddrivers, either.

I would use it, but not all that often. There's really not that much of an incentive for Jagex to add a system like that though. Wait, something similar is coming for Dungeoneering though: photo-booths where you can upload the pic to the forums, I believe.

I would: it make the forums far more interactive. This is something that I've seen on other forums, I believe. I'm not sure though, whether or not TIF would support it or not.

Wow, that's awesome dude. Wonder how many mage seeds you'll be picking out of those.

Intelligence =/= arrogance. Stupid + presumptuous = accusations of arrogance.

Total crap. We've been hearing these stories for years, if anyone has bother to pay attention.

It's not about expense, at least not to me. First of all, the people going "Ubuntu is Linux for Windows users, it's soooo simple!" - that's crap, unless all you want to do is use FireFox and OpenOffice - It's harder to use than Windows: the way that Linux is designed will likely ensure that it always is. Free is good, but it also has a negative overtone, since it's basic human trait to go "if free is good, expensive must be better" - it's an important part of the pricing games that marketers play. But I choose free, open-source software over the crashware that Microsoft provides, and the simplified, graphically redundant programs that Apple sells. (I actually don't like Apple that much more than Microsoft). The level of access that Linux provides to me is unbelievable: terminals allow me to do things that I had never imagined possible when I was still a Windows user: there, the OS simply hides the actual workings of your computer from you and over-simplifies using it so that incompetent users don't damage anything. In Linux, you have the ability to alter (and distribute, if you are so inclined) any changes that you can possibly code into it. http://makezine.com/04/ownyourown/ ^"Screws, not glue." Yes, my computer is at times inaccessible to me (I'm considering building my next laptop, if I can find someone with the necessary technical skills to assist me) but my operating system is not just an pretty GUI - it's a tool, that I can alter freely, according to my own will. Opacity is never a virtue - if you have to hide it, it shouldn't be sold. (There are obviously exception: nuclear weapon blueprints should be kept secret, and people ALWAYS have the right to absolute privacy: it's just that companies and their products aren't people). In short, if you can't take it apart, see how it works, alter it, and then put it back together again, you don't own it. Also, I do truly hate Microsoft. Not the people that work there, and not Bill Gates, but Microsoft and their products.

For starters, you can probably go into the router settings and ban any MAC addresses you don't recognize. If that doesn't stop him, then well... I can only allow, not deny, although no luck getting any of the settings to save....? I Would not recommend Dlink to anyone. At this point, I'm fairly sure that this is an experienced cracker: hiding my SSID, changing pass, encryption and frequency shut him out for not even a day, according to my bandwidth tracking (it spikes whenever this guy gets onto my network: from about a gig a day to 10+), although I can't see individual hours, only the day it was used.... I've turned down the broadcasting strength, but I'm starting to run out of ideas if that doesn't work. Soon I'll just have to run ethernet cables all over the house, lol.

No, continue, please. Because I'm pretty sure you were just trying to be pretentious and flaunt your nutritional understanding of fat vs. sugar. You said you dont like the comparison, but they arent making a comparison. The commercial doesn't say "Drinking a soda has the same nutritional impact as drinking this huge glass of fat!" They just want to disgust you. There was no attempt to "flaunt" anything: that's why I abruptly ended that train of thought.

Worth it if you have the cash and the inclination.

Awesome guide. If I ever make another account, I think that this is the way I'll go.

Ahh, there are a ton of these in the bathroom readers..... One, I believe, is that you may not ride a duck inside the city boundaries (can't remember what city it was). http://www.lawguru.com/weird/part01.html
