  1. Annoying, VERY annoying, especially as the time is insufficient to allow you to fire a full load of clay bowls. Also frequently logged out while fishing - it would be better if you stopped fishing first, and then got logged out after doing nothing about it.
  2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fable A good place to start research. The animal is usually used to represent it's stereotypical character, though possibly the reverse of it, such as a cowardly Lion, or the result is a reverse, as in the Tortoise and the Hare. It would also seem that it can be a moral tale that does not use animal characters.
  3. Picked up 3 frogs while fishing, a couple of Sandwich ladies (took a free teleport from one, but got Ice mountain, about the worst spot), and Giles (used that one to cert the fish I was carrying)
  4. If TFTs burned that easily, every Windows PC sreen would have a permanent START button and quicklaunch burn in. It seems that there can be something less permanent than a burn-in, which will fade if excercised by flashing white/black - though one of the excercisers has also been known to tip weak pixels into complete failure. http://3d2f.com/programs/39-973-tireal- ... load.shtml http://3d2f.com/programs/39-793-dead-pi ... load.shtml Run a few test cycles with various programs.
  5. If your god is so weak that he needs to be defended by violence, then you need a better god. The recent events have shown that the democratic west has been far to tolerant of those who abuse the hospitality. Go to their countries and behave like that, and your feet wouldn't touch the ground!
  6. Gotta correct you there actually. Advertising networks can pay per click (CPC) or pay per thousand impressions (CPM) where the site recieves a certain amount for every thousand page views, aka impressions. CPM is pretty rare these days, or rates would be extremely low due the the low rate of clicks. Some ads are blocked automatically by the default blocklist in my firewall (Outpost Pro). Additionally, for being total garbage, the ad Networks "Falk adsolution" (falkag) and Tribalfusion receive there own special domain based blocking - the day ONE of their ads tried to do a drive-by download on me, was the day they joined my "shoot on sight" list forever - NO COMPROMISES!
  7. I was told to take a bread roll. Since I wanted a teleport out from Karamja fishing area, I took something else. Not all that happy with my free teleport to the top of the Ice Mountain - I'd hoped to get a city.
  8. I'm rather partial to stews (a bit like the bank guard in the tree). At only level 25 to cook, and healing 11 in one bite, they are the poor cook's alternative to Lobsters (heals 12, but level 40 to cook). Another advantage is that all ingredients can be obtained about two fields walk east and west of Draynor. The need to make clay bowls, and to discard empties before picking up battle spoils is another drawback, buy they are the best way to make use of a cooking level that isn't exceptional. For fishin/cooking progress I tend to fly fish at Lumbridge, and once on salmon as well as trout, cook eveerything and then eat, drop or sell the trout at the store, before taking a full load of salmon to bank.
  9. I leave music on auto, as I find it aids navigation, like breathing a sigh of relief as you get the tune for low level wilderness after some dangerous resource gathering.
  10. What do you like better? Can you spare bank space for two pieces instaed of one (prince versus frog head). While wearing, are you happy to be short of body and leg armour, or just the helmet. Prince outfit is quite smart, and if you did the christmas thing, you might find a hat and scarf that goes reasonably well with it.
  11. Sure I saw this in a sig once... MMORPG = Many Men Online Role Playing Girls
  12. With mixed combat skills, you are naturally a hybrid, not a full pure. While you can train magic with no HP (but level for level, will hit lower on magic than a "perfect pure"), you and up with higher hitpoints from range + melee. One defence level = 1/4 combat level, and you've taken another 1. I'd suggest taking the remaining 2 levels, and using full steel as melee and walking armour, especially if you can get smithing up to the level to replace it all. For an "honest" character that gets their own resources, I'd say steel works a lot better, until the point where you no longer have to worry about aggressive monsters in mines etc.
  13. I despatched a Lumbridge noob ... "Will you be my BF". They followed as I walked west, into the Draynor jail compound - oops! Oh well, I needed a new tinderbox anyway...
  14. Try going in through Miniclip, maybe they don't auto-refresh as often
  15. The anvil in the Draynor sewer dungeon - I know it's not that hard to get to, but it's an unusual place to find an anvil, and quite useful from Draynor bank. More people know the less useful anvils in the dwarven mine.
  16. I took my level 6 through it... Cooks assistant to get some initial cooking level, then fish and cook to level 10. Dorics Quest (using dropped iron ore) to get some initial mining level, and to use a steel pick. Then either mine and smith bronze (copper+tin) until you can make iron bars (level 14 and a Dwarven stout), or trade for them. Then the low level tricks to tackle the dungeon... 1. Mine and die - with no items beyond your pick, (even minor worn items like gloves, boots and cape) and any food you carry eaten, if you got a blurite, you will still have it, and your pick when you die - since it cannot be traded, ALL other items would save over it, as part of the 3 you keep if you die without being skulled. 2. Rest and run - the rocky area between the dungeon and cave is relatively safe, so collect your thoughts there. Edge forward, turn the map, and you can see the first rock. If many are fighting there, it's a lot easier, and you can be lucky and get 1, 2 or even 3 rocks, then make a run back the rocky area. Eat, recover and then run for the exit. More than 1 blurite? With extra iron bars, and using talk/drop with the dwarf, then dropping the extras before talking to the squire, you can keep a blurite sword - the second best sword that can be wielded before steel level (best is the Silverlight).
  17. Three theories I have about random event (guardian) monster drops. 1. When you've only just reached the next strength of random (tough fight), drops are better. 2. Higher level = better drop. 3. The maximum drop YOU can get, is only ever an item YOU can use.
  18. Scammers, as you can avoid them. Hackers, you can't avoid. Autoers, not so bothered by them depressing prices, or by accelerating their own level without effort, as by the unfair competition for limited resources.
  19. Standing in Wizards circle, defying attack with "protect from magic" would be good. How long would "protect from melee" stand up in the scorpion infested mines? Proof of a level 8, 43 prayer (full protects) is one thing, but the question is then how well a practical "Monk Pure" would stand up in combat (wielding an appropriate mace) - and the main limitation, how long does protect from last. I'd say the only way to play a Monk, is as a melee fighter, since the items (F2P) would be cheap Iron full helm and kite (do Doric's and Knights sword for mining and smithing, and be able to make. craft up to the level for holy symbol, take robes). Buy appropriate mace, and keep it when skulled by careful timing of "protect item" - PKers will HATE YOU! I suppose you could mage or range as a Monk, but you lose the ability to operate as effectively a 1 itemer.
  20. If you were going to change one thing, for any game that supports decent graphics cards (eg. NOT RUNESCAPE). then it would be a better graphics card - The Geforce 4 MX is actually closer to a Geforce 2 and any current low-midrange AGP graphics card would wipe the floor with it. Id be wary of getting a motherboard/CPU/RAM combination currently running at 100 FSB (Duron) up to the 166 FSB of the final version of the Sempron - it may be limited to 133 FSB. If you can find one cheap enough, a Duron 1800 (they operate at 133 FSB) may be more likely to work. The 810LMR is a "cheap and cheerful" motherboard, and not as good a candidate for upgrade as anything based on the Nforce 2 chipset.
  21. Common name = "French stick" http://tip.it/runescape/?page=random_events.htm#general On the picture shown there (order may change when it appears?) 1. 2. Triangle sandwich 3. 4. Baguette 5. 6. 7. Chocolate bar Could do with an Identification giude... I suppose 1 is a square sandwich or just "sandwich" 3 might be a loaf of bread 6 might be a potato, but what the other round one is, no idea.
  22. Are any other shops supposed to have no basic stock: 1. The ore shop in the mine - actually tells you that it does not restock. 2. The gem traders 3. Grum's - at least, I think it's a no restock, but usually overstcked with lower level items sold by players. The other stores which have a 1-2 base level of something, do they restock: Only on a reset, At long intervals (longer than a rune rock respawn?) The other item ALWAYS in short supply, is addy legs.
  23. Hyperthreading queues up two execution streams (two logical processors) for the execution units that are not fully utilized by a single stream. They can run two independent taks, just as a dual core, but have contention for units that are not paired or under-utilized. Performance gain of a well desgned multithredaing app under Hyperthreading, about 30%, due to contenton for several resources. Under dual core, the gain is about 80%, due to contention for bus and ram. Only code that is incredibly badly written, should have any problem - if it makes problematic assumptions about exception order. Actual usefulness of HT/dual core is still rather limited, though ATI graphics drivers from 5.12 onward have rudimentary dual core capabilities, so all games may benefit - and they are getting better tuned since the introduction of the capability in 5.12. AMD Processors tend to score better in gaming benchmarks, Intel in office app benchmarks. Making use of dual threads for a single task is a new science in the mainstream PC field, though some tasks have long been addressed by a "divide and conquer" approach.
  24. If you haven't finished the quest, then just get another one made - if that was your spare, then that's it, gone. My usual approach is to mine, smith and sell to stores, sell unwanted drops to stores (mine, and anything I can scavenge from killzones, found a noted ruby and some mithril stuff once, though I got nailed at one of my favourite killzones). Self sufficient for food, I tend to neither buy nor sell, other than lobbies that I sell far too cheap at the fishing spot.
  25. Like "alignment"? Slay innocent villagers, monks, city guards, white knights and you move toward evil. Monsters, dark wizards, black knights and you move towards good. There could be some quests available only to the good, and some only to the evil ... there is one, I think, where you do choose sides.
