Tip.It Times: Jagex interfering?
I can see Jagex's point of view and reasoning for this, it's not a totally unreasonable request to delay the release of a guide that makes one of the trickiest quests a piece of cake; but then again i see the editor's point of view on this. Why on earth should they claim authority over a non-affliated fansite? I totally agree that they need to create "official" fansites, that we don't get banned for pointing out to people who need help. It's ludicrous that they should expect that we get all the information we need from the main site, it's hopeless! And why do they ask permission to remove the guide from two main sites, when they know there are plenty more that people knowabouts who WILL post the guide. It's like they're deliberately removing viewers from the main ones.

Gameboy Advance Micro

Do you lock your doors? (aka. trust the outside world?)
I don't exactly live in a rough area but i would always lock my doors, just as second nature. Our garage was once broken into and a few bikes knicked, since then we've had large padlocks put on the garage doors and we always lock the doors, even if someone is in. Thieves are opportunists, it's not worth risking it. We also often leave the radio in our kitchen on throughout the day, apparently a radio on deters burglars.

Do you beleive in GHOSTS?
No pic no proof 8) Have fun, and does your lightsabre have flashing lights? And is it the limited edition double ended Darth Maul lightsabre from Episode I: The Phantom Menace? If so watch out for the other end...it has a tendency to whip round and stun you. :oops: Seriously though, what's your logic with lightsabres and ghosts?

What movie(s) did you last see?
Yeah that's interesting, the IMDB review was by a guy who went with a Vietnam Vet, and according to him it's the most accurate film he's seen of it, however no film can ever entirely convey the horrors as war, but as Hollywood war films go, i think it's a gem.

What movie(s) did you last see?
We Were Soldiers Easily the best Vietnam war film i have ever seen, and i've seen a few. The acting is bang on on all sides, the depiction accurate, showing not only the front, but the home front with the wives of the soldiers, with a particularly touching seen where the wives are delivering telegrams to other wives to say their husband had died. Some of the scenes are horrific, it's one of the few Vietnam war films that shows it as it was, the brutality and the attitudes. HIGHLY recommended. I particularly love the quote "we are moving into the valley of the shadow of death." Touching stuff.

Ti84+ Calcs, MirageOS, and the myth of the Math Teachers?
Sorry assassin, but i can completely contradict you. I'm doing AS level maths right now, and we need graphic calculators :P . Our college tells us which calculator to get (Casio 9750) and its pretty much a must if we want to do well. But i've never heard of putting games on a calculator or even running an OS :? . It seems pretty commonplace to all you other people, strange that... Must just be me then :P Actually you're dead right, i've just checked my school's syllabus and we do graphical stuff with calcs for AS. But i've certainly never heard of games on them. Unless trying to write rude words with a few letters and numbers counts :P

Ti84+ Calcs, MirageOS, and the myth of the Math Teachers?
I'm with Insane on this one. I live in the UK and go to a leading independant school, and yet i am unaware of the A-level students using any graphing calculators on a regular basis, if at all. It may make it easier, but apart from writing the program (if you actually do) to solve the equation, after that you don't really need any real grasp for the subject. Since using a scientific calculator for 2 years my mental arithmatic isn't what it used to be. I'm not really speaking from a position of authority on this one since i'm only in year 10, but it seems to be that only the US uses these graphing calculators.

Although this is very true, and i don't think Bush should get away with not signing it; the world's fastest growing industrialised nation, China, producing the world's second largest amount of greenhouse emissions, is exempt from the protocol. This seriously needs to be addressed since China's rate of expansion is hardly slowing down.

iPod Video - Apple's back-up plan?
Gah...and i just got an iPod. Ah well from what i've seen the video quality isn't that great, i wouldn't exactly want to watch videos on that size screen anyway, and my 5,000 song capacity is plenty for moi.

what should i engrave on my iPod?
I simply engraved my name, i felt that any jokes or humurous such things might lose their novelty quickly.

Anyone need help with homework? I'm bored and I can do a lot
Which battle? i just finnished world war one, although we only talked about the battle ypres and vimy ridge. BTW, can someone tell me the importance of minore scales... i dont get why they are there... Try the Battle Of the Somme, there's loads of good information about it on the internet, we're doing our history coursework on it at some point. As for the minor scales, i believe certain genres of music are based entirely on their existance, but generally they can change the mood of a piece of music.

Disaster Zone
Yeah, and some people believe that the earth goes through cycles of bad hurricanes etc. It might all be a big coincidence, or it might not, there are so many different schools of thought it's unbelievable, it's just the media likes to pump out the global warming one all the time, because they seem to be able to blame polititicians for it, but i think there's more to it.

Health Risk
Is there anywhere on this planet where we can still feel safe and surrounded by people who had at least some respect for human life? I guess that ideal vanished long ago but this is just low.

Wow, i'm ashamed of myself....
I am English, so obviously fluent in that. I can speak read and write in French to GCSE level, (i'm taking it a year early in June), and i dropped German for GCSE. I can also read and write in ancient Greek, however since i've only been doing it for some 4 weeks, my vocab is limited, and i'm limited to fairly basic sentances. However with a vocab list i'm more flexible. I was taught French from year 3 in my primary school.

Any Hip-Hop/Rap listeners?
The Hip-hop RnB on the charts today has lost touch with it's roots. I like some of the older, original rap, in terms of RnB R. Kelly i like, and Eminem for rap that's still going.

Update Screenshots
The above is my rough post on the Runescape official suggestion forums. I made one earlier this morning but it soon dropped off page 50 due to endless streams of "give us uber gold trimmed dragon pl8 bodies!!!!" and "muskets!!!!". It's a sad day for Rs. I intend to make this here to try and keep a copy alive until the Jagex mods are at work and might actually take notice. If you can please get on the official forums and support it. Thanks Assassin 696

Bali Bomb 1/10/2005 7:30 pm
I can't believe they've hit Bali again, i remember the first one, and thankfully this isn't on the same scale, but the impact that this'll have on people going to Bali will be awful. They were only slowly recovering from the previous bombings. Quite why these "holy maytrs" can see God acting in their hearts as they take away innocent lives is beyond me.

Wondering about peoples musical knowledge...
Erm...not quite sure what your after here but i'll give it a shot. I play the classical guitar, i completed my Grade 4 Associated Board (it's an English music school) last summer, i'm now working towards my Grade 5 associated board. After that i'll switch to Trinity music school, since they don't require grade 5 theory (which i might end up doing anyway) to do grade 6. I'm also doing GCSE Music over a two year course which i started when i went back in the september just-gone-by. Naturally i can read sheet music, and could probably read guitar tabs if i put my mind to it (although i have never had to). I can read the bass clef but not fluently. I'll add some pics of my current pieces later, my guitar's downstairs, but here's the name of one of my grade 5 pieces: El Gatica It's not well known, but quite popular for people doing grade 5 apparently.

What movie(s) did you last see?
In Good Company, with Scarlett Johanssen. I'd better be careful about what i say, considering the author of this thread's affliations for her, but to be perfectly honest i didn't think she was that impressive. She seemed too young and whiny, and not at all attractive the way they pictured her. She can be a brilliant actress when she wants to be, but she wasn't quite up to form in this one. I thought Topher Grace, playing the second male lead of Carter Duryea stole the show, but the general casting was good. The plot was original, but stayed true to the rom-com style, and didn't have the stereotypical ending, which was refreshing. Overall, 7/10 :)
