The shop tells you what an item is worth. If you're silly enough to go paying 1,000,000 times what an item is worth then that's your perogative.

Take any object you have to the nearest general store and they will tell you what it is worth. would you like to sell me a blue phat for 1gp? I'd have to find someone willing to sell me one for what it's worth first. But yes, gladly. Since it has no real use I'd even give it to you.

No more so than weilding a whip gives someone an advantage in the game. If all the options are open to all players, then it's not an 'unfair' advantage if he kills me just because I prefer to use my bronze dagger. Jagex are already continuously expanding the amount of information they need to store about players. Every time they add new items or quests they need to store new information about all their players. And even if they did allow 2kb files (which would be a very large number of paramaters) the storage requirements for all runescape players would still only register in the gigabyte range. And, since all the computation occurs on the server, there would be no real reason to send the file back to the user every time - and if they did it would not account for a great deal of that red bar we sit and look at for five seconds every time we load up. How would giving the ability to upload a plain-text config file make them any more or less likely to have their security breached?

Huge files? Open notepad, add approximately thirty lines of text at roughly 15 - 30 characters per line. Save it and look at the file size. Then explain how that fits any definition of "huge". Which they already have to store your profile, all information about your skill levels, your bank, inventory, quest status etc, etc, etc. A few extra lines of text wouldn't make a great deal of difference. If you can explain how it would be possible to embed a virus in an ascii file I'm sure there is a high-paid job in computer security waiting for you. And that would somehow be 'easier' than allowing paramaters to be tweaked via a config script? Exactly how much experience in developing distributed internet applications do you have?

Cruel... effing funny, but cruel. I like ;)

Such programs do exist yes. Programs like "Bonzi Buddy" or whatever that foolish purple gorilla was called. They are all spy/mal/adware of some description or another. The other problem you will face is that they store username and password information for HTML forms. Runescape is a Java Applet and none of them will come close to touching it. Finally, the way they all work is by storing your information as you enter it. None of them can retrieve a password that was entered prior to installing the software.

I presume that of course they do. I also presume that your parents are also not all-powerful, all-knowing supreme beings. Whether God is still creating people, or whether he went on a grinding spree and got his people-making skill to 99 in a few moments is immaterial. This is an all-encompassing God we're talking about. At the instant he created or creates any soul, he has full foreknowledge of the choices that individual will make during the course of their time on earth. It doesn't take logic to know that creating a soul, just so you can torment it for eternity is not the act of a loving God.

Christian doctrine also teaches that God is all-powerful, all-knowing and all-loving. So presumably when (and even before) he creates our souls he knows full well the choices we will make in our lives including whether or not we will accept him and his teachings. Yet he continues to make people who do not accept his teachings only to cast them into a lake of fire for being unfaithful, when he himself made them that way. Which creates an awfully large logic hole in the whole all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving idea. So either God is not all-loving, because he makes people just to torment for eternity. Or God is neither all-powerful or all-knowing because he needs to test us out before accepting us into his kingdom. So we can deduce that either God is all powerful and all loving, and that no-one will be cast into a lake of fire at the end of time, which renders the whole need to accept God into your life redundant - we're going to get into heaven regardless. Or that the course of our lives is predetermined from the start, in which case the concept of sin and redemption is redundant - we're going to heaven or hell and nothing we do on earth will change our destination. Note that this is just a flaw in the Christian model of God, and not an argument against the existence of Gods in the main.

They wouldn't need to, an API which allowd certain paramaters to be tweaked would be all they'd need to do. The config files themselves would need to be uploaded to Jagex servers because of the browser/applet security model, but it could be done.

The cambrian explosion is in no way evidence for the "god put it there" theory. If that was not what you were suggesting then yes, I have misread your argument.

One could ask the exact same questions about God. Lack of evidence is not an argument for the opposing idea unless that opposing idea has some evidence of it's own to back it up. The amount of scientifically verifiable evidence in favour of evolution outweighs the amount of scientifically verifiable evidence in favour of a supernatural creator by several thousand orders of magnitude.

Thats almost like saying that if you can't explain it, God did it. Which basically puts the both of us at a stalemate. Indeed it does. Both are matters of faith. You have faith that there is a God, I have faith that there isn't. Neither of us can provide conclusive evidence to support our beliefs. You can say "Who created the universe then?" and I can reply with "Well who created God?"

I don't believe there is (or was) a "why". It just worked out that way. Who's to say that they never advanced? As far as anyone knows there might be a wealth of fossilised creatures buried beneath the martian soil - to say nothing of the millions of other earthlike planets in the universe.

Evolution is a force that shapes an organism toward a best fit within it's ecological niche. Crocodiles are already pretty well suited to theirs, there is no evolutionary reason why they would evolve. Much in the same way as if you threw a rock in a river... erosion would pretty soon make your jagged rock a nice smooth round shape. But once it was already round, erosion won't have much effect on it. Evolution, like erosion, is a process of refinement, not a progression through any predefined steps.

OK, if it's happening on more than one machine, it's most likely to be a problem with the proxy configuration. Given the lines "Your cache administrator is root. " and "localhost.localdomain" in the error message it may be that the administrator has either just installed the proxy software or is not overly familiar with it's setup. Without actually being able to see the HTTP response that the proxy is complaining about, I don't have any further assistance to offer. I'd say your best bet is to ask the library staff for the email address of the network administrator and send a copy of the error message to him/her and see what their opinion is.

I'm an Atheist. I don't believe that there is an all-powerful god watching over and governing the universe. That doesn't mean that I can't accept the possibilty that there may have been some godlike being create the universe eons ago. But I don't believe that that particular notion answers any more questions than it raises. But no, I don't believe in the Judeo-Christian model of God. I don't believe humans have an immortal soul, and I don't believe in heaven or hell.

I found a good article on the subject in google.public.support.general http://groups.google.com/group/google.p ... 9a9d2c83ed The basic gist of which is "Yes you should put relevant meta tags in all your pages, yes google will read them, no they don't factor directly in determining your rank." However, the use of proper meta tags is likely to result in an increase of traffic to your site, indirectly boosting your rank.

At first glance I'd say it looks like RS has been blocked at the proxy level, but in that case you're more likely to get a message like "Stop looking at naughty sites!" What the message is saying is that when the proxy tried to retrieve the server list page for you, what the website sent back was either not what was expected, or otherwise not able to be understood by the proxy. This could be a freak occurence, or it could be something wrong with the proxy config. As a test, try multiple computers in the library and see if they all have the same response. Also try at different times of the day. See if you get the same result. Someone "In Authority" may not neccesarily know the ins and outs of the library's network configuration. If it keeps happening, maybe try to find out if you can send an email to the network administrator.

Sounds like you're constipated. A good poo should fix you right up.

It's down south of Yanille. Head around the back of the ogre enclave, where the gnome glider is, through the cave there and you'll be on the island.

In the past they did. But people abused the meta tags. So most search engines don't even bother including them these days. In fact all the old tricks - alt text, white text on a white background at the bottom of your page etc... are picked up by most of the major search engines and can actually punish your site rather than enhance it's rating. No-one outside of Google knows the exact routines that are being used (and at any rate they are being refined all the time). But solid, relevant content in the body area of your page, plus a concise and relevant page title are the best tactics for: a) Assuring yourself of a worthy place, and, B) Making sure Google doesn't flag you as a rankcheat. And properly coded (standards compliant) HTML is another big advantage you can give yourself. The google spider is not as forgiving of poor code as some browsers. Making life hard for the spider will most likely mean it will stop spidering your pages. Besides... well written code is easier for you to maintain anyway. I've been over this with so many clients that I've lost count. One guy actually tried to claim he wouldn't pay unless I garuanteed a top ten google place.
