Don't feel bad about it - OT just can't help itself. And :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: to the rest of your post :)

France bans the niqab
Personally, while I understand why people want it gone, I think about it this way. If they *are* being forced to wear this, or feel they can only go outside with the Niqab, then all you're going to do is push them further into repression. If they're being forced, all you're doing is forcing them to stay at home and the women just won't be allowed outside. And really, it doesn't matter. Unless it's at places where ID & Security are necessary (like airports) then why should we try to force them to appease us? I understand that they should follow the culture, but it comes off as a bit wrong to me.

Your keyboard usage
Interesting topic! 1. What kind of a keyboard do you use? (ergonomic, gaming, something completely different?) I use a laptop keyboard, pretty standard Qwerty without a number pad at the side. Many of the keys are alarmingly shiny from where they've been rubbed away. 2. How much do you use the keyboard? Do you often use it instead of the mouse? I used to use the keyboard a bit more for stuff since it worked naturally with a touchpad, however since I bought a USB mouse I'm using it little less. I'm happy using a mouse/touchpad though. 3. How fast can you type? (a link to a typing speed test is included at the bottom, if you haven't done one already) I got 79 Wpm on that test :D I got 100 Wpm on one where I didn't make any mistakes, typos drag my typing speed down a fair bit. Also your Das keyboard looks incredible O_o Though I'd personally want this and add a Star Trek Lcars keypad thing on there <3: That's exactly the same with me, I never knew what the home row was - I just typed a lot over the last few years and just... learned.

Dungeoneering Prestige
How it works is this: Say you have unlocked 10 floors, and you don't have the xp to get to 11. You've finished them all. If you were to go back and repeat those floors, you'll get FAR less xp than you did on your first play through. So, you reset your ring. This keeps all the floors unlocked, but changes it so that you haven't played them. Your prestige number stays at the total number of floors you completed when you reset, for example 10. That number will increase the amount of xp you get when you play through the floors again. Now, you might have enough xp for 15 floors. Once you've played through them all and can't reach 16, you reset and continue :)

Super mousekeys for RS
I'm pretty sure that the guideline is: 1 action put in by the player must equal one action made in the game. If you're clicking a button, rather than a mouse, each time with mousekeys then I think it's allowed. However clicking once and having it all automatically do IS botting.

Tokens
Arcane stream is a definite if you mage. Bonecrusher is pretty decent, especially for hunter and slayer. You might want to consider the scroll of life and scroll of efficiency as well. Herbicide is something I've not tried, but I plan on getting.

Solo Dungeoneering Training
I really would suggest just doing solo smalls, then solo meds when you reach a higher level. Just enjoy the skill for what it is and the levels will come :)

Skill
Buying gives you less profit but it's much quicker, tbh. If you're limited on time it might be worth just buying it.

Trio Dungeoneering Training
I suggest just play it as you enjoy it. I got 72 Dung without even thinking about it, just getting the levels as I played with friends, or soloed, or found groups on 117. I've never found a dung level to matter too much, but then again I've never played with one of these level 138 super skilled teams. I've always played with, and am myself, fairly normal players with spread out levels. Don't waste pengs on Dungeoneering - just enjoy the skill.

Terrorist Threat in the UK - Severe
*shrugs* We weren't safe yesterday, we're not safe today and we won't be safe tomorrow. I can live with it.

Gun Control
A lot of violent crime in the UK is yobbo chavs hanging around on street corners, I'd say. Most of them have guns, not knives.
-
Gun Control
The number of suicides in Japan has nothing to do with the rate of crime, it's the culture. I fail to see what it has to do with gun control laws, not everyone there is killing themselves with a gun.

Manga/Anime Discussion
Still need to watch Paranoia Agent - it's on my endless list of 'anime I should get around to watching but never will' :(

Can we focus more on the actual update, and less on other people's grammar please? Thanks :)

New Laptop - What to do?
I see, well I'll just wait and take it to the computer store. The guy there knows me from my old, rather disastrous, laptop :P He'll just charge me for the cost of RAM. I didn't know you had to get 2 sticks, so I guess it'll just be double what I paid for the 2Gb (Which was about £25, iirc). I might be able to use computers well, but I'm not really very well educated on the hardware of them :P

15-Sep-10 Z-Buffering
Coo. Quite a nice update. I think I can see the difference already, there's much less squareyness on low detail now. I suppose I'm gutted they made the female skillcapes shorter - but it's not gonna kill me :P Auto-equipping the stuff in Dung is epic too <3

New Laptop - What to do?
I'm not really sure about that. Last time I got a ram upgrade I just took it to the local computer shop and he did it for me then and there... I wouldn't know how to do it myself or how to check.

Lolicon
You're NOT a kiddiefiddler if you don't fiddle kids - thinking about it doesn't make you a child rapist. Sure, it makes you a bit of a creep, but lolicon doesn't HARM children and there's no evidence that it leads to the harming of children either. I've thought about killing people, I've read stories with rape - I've read those real life stories where children get raped, but I don't do it. It is perfectly fine to THINK, it's the actions that are the problem. Nobody here will condone real CP, or child molestation, but drawing a cartoon of it isn't any of those things. Just because they get off on reading lolicon, does not mean they'll fiddle kids themselves.

so.... i appear to be pregnant
While I support abortion, I don't really see a reason WHY you'd abort it - or people would suggest it. She's not too young, she's not in a terrible financial situation (it might be hard, but those are the breaks) and even if it was unplanned you can't just abort because you weren't expecting it. Anyway, I wish you all the best :)

New Laptop - What to do?
I would have liked to have bought it myself, that way I wouldn't have ended up with 1Gb of RAM, but the insurance company just said "We're sending you this one" and I guess it could be work. I can actually play Portal on this laptop, it has an AMD Graphics card - not the Intel Chipsets a lot of laptops come with :D I'm just cleaning through the crapware now, but everything is a slow process until I can get my upgrade in 2 weeks.

so.... i appear to be pregnant
25 is a perfectly fine age to have a child, imo. My best friend just had one at 18, so I guess seeing anyone responsible enough to not get pregnant so early is just a bit pleasing to me :P I'm sure you'll do fine, with the support of your family and while it might have been better if s/he was a little more planned... it's a bit late now. :)

New Laptop - What to do?
Yeah, I made a recovery disk already and I'm just working through the 20-odd Toshiba programs, deleting the ones I don't need (Meaning most of them). These are what I've got atm: Toshiba Disk creator, dvd player, extended tiles, face recognition, flash cards support, hardware setup, HDD alaert, manuals, online product information, photo service, recovery media creator, recovery media reminder, reeltime, SD memory utilities, service station, value added package, web camera application... Yeah :mellow: WTF is a Value Added Package anyway? >.<

New Laptop - What to do?
I got a laptop through today in the post, one sent by our insurance company as a replacement for a broken one and it's going to be mine. The actual laptop isn't the problem, it's got Windows 7 and 1Gb of RAM (derp? >.<) which I'm going to get upgraded to 4Gb asap. What I want advice on, though, is what to do with it. It's full of annoying Toshiba software, I mean like almost 20 programs, and I've heard that doing a complete re-install is good for clearing out all the crap they give you. I can go through and clear out every program, but I just want to know if it's a good idea to do a re-install? A big problem is that it didn't come with a Windows 7 disk, like most OEMs, it just come with a recovery partition. At least, I think it's a recovery partition. There's 2 hard drives with about 70Gb each that I can see from the Computer. One called Windows one called Data. It has a HDD recovery folder in it. I'm pretty sure there's a recovery partition knocking about anyway (there HAS to be, seeing as I've no disks). So just some general advice, really. I've not had a new laptop in a very long time :P (Also I have a habit of screwing up computers/laptops the first time I touch them. I managed to make it so we had no user accounts on our old computer, then somehow made the DVD drive on my old laptop disappear O_o. So I'm a BIT wary, really, of doing anything that might mess it up :P)

Lolicon
I very much believe it should be legal. Lolicon does NOT hurt other people, it doesn't hurt children and it doesn't 'promote' paedophilia. What it DOES do, is give people who want that sort of experience a way to let out their urges rather than having to resort to real CP. While it might not be for everyone, I think it serves a purpose and that if we didn't have Lolicon & Shotacon on the internet - there'd be a lot more paedophiles roaming out there.
