Seems like it's part of the discussion to me. There are no ads on p2p. Blocking the ads is against the rules, so try playing on low detail to minimize memory usage. If you are on a slow computer, there isn't much you can do about it. Upgrade your system/internet connection or p2p.

Here's a pretty good walkthrough that may be of some use. It's pretty much the same procedure on any distro. http://kev.coolcavemen.com/2006/05/how- ... riva-2006/

If you are going to do this, you need to make sure your other hard drive's jumper is set to master and not cable select. If it's on cable select, then make sure the jumper on the slave drive is set to cable select as well, then plug it in the slave end of the IDE cable.

Another oft-overlooked solution is to buy a hard drive and a stand alone case which you can connect to your system via usb. This method is useful if you only wish to store files(mp3s, jpegs, etc) on it, not use it as main drive to host applications. The major advantage to this is that you don't have to take your pc apart to install the new hard drive. The disadvantage is that you'll be pulling data over usb which is slower than if you were connected via IDE or SATA. However, if you use this for simple storage, that should be a moot issue.

If you aren't a computer buff, stick with Windows. Most(notice I said MOST) people that bash it are just ignorant 13 year old trolls who just installed another OS the day before and have no idea what the are talking about. XP will do anything the average user will want to do, and will do it very well. It isn't a bad operating system by any means, it's just widely exploited. Run a good firewall(hardware AND software), a good virus scanner, and practice safe surfing and you should be more than happy. However, if you wan't to experiment, I'm a big fan of Ubuntu Linux. You can get a live CD(put it in the cd tray, reboot windows and you will start with Linux. Reboot the system with the cd out and you will boot into windows). This will let you play around with the system without having to actually install it. There are other live CD's for other linux distrobutions so you can check out different ones to see which you like the best. You can also download VMWare Player and install Linux on it. This way you can run Linux inside windows. It will slow down both computers though, so only run this if you have a lot of ram.

My wife and I took my daughter around town. She was having a pretty good time, but was tired by the time we took this photo. She loved saying "Thank you" after people put candy in her pumpkin.

I don't have any complete code for you(don't have time to bulid and test). However, you would need to get the viewable width of your page. Subtract the e.clientX from your viewable width. If the result is less than the width of your floating div, then you will need to adjust to the left(e.clientX - divwidth - arbitraryamountyoudecide). e.clientX is your mouse position when the event was called. If it's at point 442, your page width is 500, and you div witdh is 100, then it isn't going to fit without running over the page. Here are two functions for getting the viewport width and height of the page function pageWidth() { return window.innerWidth || (document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.body.clientWidth); } function pageHeight() { return window.innerHeight || (document.documentElement.clientHeight || document.body.clientHeight); }

Are you talking about the wayback machine?

(K/X/Ed)Ubuntu is my personal favorite. It make things easier for the true linux beginner, but still leaves plenty for the experience user to dive right in. I like any debian-based distro.

Start firefox in safe mode(no extensions). Choose a members only world! The game will still load, but without any advertisments(you still can't log in unless you are a member). If the applet loads just fine, then I would say it's an ad or extension conflict, or both. If the applet still takes forever to load, it may be java itself. Try clearing out your runescape cache(c:\.filestore32 or something similar, running linux here so I don't know), and see if that makes a difference.

I wrote a perl module for this some time ago(right after construction was introduced). It looks like it still works too. I never got around to putting in some POD doc though. This just gets the data. It doesn't create the image. You would need to use ImageMagick or something similar to do the graphic. #Example #use RuneStats; #$stats = RuneStats->new('olgath'); #if($stats->{Success}) { #while(($key, $value) = each(%$stats)) { #print "$key = $value\n"; #} #} #else { #print $stats->{Error}; #} use LWP::Simple; use strict; sub new { my ($self, $user) = @_; my %STATS = (); my @runestats = ( 'Attack', 'Defence', 'Strength', 'Hitpoints', 'Ranged', 'Prayer', 'Magic', 'Cooking', 'Woodcutting', 'Fletching', 'Fishing', 'Firemaking', 'Crafting', 'Smithing', 'Mining', 'Herblore', 'Agility', 'Thieving', 'Slayer', 'Farming', 'Runecraft', 'Construction', 'Hunter', ); my $content = get("http://hiscore.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/hiscorepersonal.ws?user1=$user"); if($content) { if($content =~ /does not feature/) { $STATS{'Success'} = 0; $STATS{'Error'} = "$user is not in the high score list!"; } else { $STATS{'Success'} = 1; foreach(@runestats) { $content =~ /$_.*?\>(\d{2}|Not Ranked)\; $STATS{$_} = $1; } } return \%STATS; } else { $STATS{'Success'} = 0; $STATS{'Error'} = "Could not contact high score list!"; return \%STATS; } } 1;

If you the company you bought the laptop from is worth anything, they should have at the very least given you a recovery disc with all the proprietary device drivers on it. However, companies have been providing "recovery partitions" in lieu of disc because it is cheaper. You should be able to load the drivers from the device manager. You may be able to find them on the interweb.

There are a several firewalls in synaptic. Install some of them and try them out and see which one you like best.

VLC media player has a conversion tool that will convert many file types.
