Some of it goes to the domain name registrant, some of it ends up with ICANN. The "about" page at ICANN's website has some goo info. http://www.icann.org/

That would really depend on two main things: a) What sort of 'fire' we're talking about, a candle or an inferno, and, B) What style you're looking to achieve.

Google has very sophisticated algorithms for detecting this kind of foolishness. The best way to get a good Google ranking is to have solid, relevant content. Make a good site, you'll get a good Google rank.

I'd be less worried about the dancing beggars, and more worried about the fact that your computer seems to have some form of malware running, which is actively inviting you to download and install more malware.

You need dry clay, not soft clay. Get a pot of flour and a bowl of water. Use the water on the flour, select Pastry Dough. Use the pastry dough on a pie dish to make a pie shell. Use a bucket of compost on the pie shell. Use a bucket of water on the pie shell. Use a dry clay on the pie shell. Bake.

IE is pretty much tied to the windows operating system (after the big antitrust case where Netscape tried to sue Microsoft for bundling IE with Windows, Microsoft said "no wait, it's really part of the operating system" - and so they made it such that the IE control is now pretty much an integral part) That said, for web browsing you can easily set Firefox to be your default browser and hide the IE shortcuts. I use Firefox for all my web browsing, but I develop applications that run using IE because that's what most corporates have on their desktop SOE.

No.

I am so trying that right now. I took some into the wildy but no-one was interested in a pie fight.

how do you make the pies? there is a book i saw? There is a book, you can buy it from the new NPC in the cooking guild. The mud pies are made as so: Flour and water mixed together to make pastry dough. Pastry do is used on the pie dish to make a pie shell. Bucket of compost is used on the pie shell to make a "part mud pie". Bucket of water is used on the pie shell & compost to make a "place holder" (which I assume is just a bit of dev text that no-one remembered to change to something more useful) Clay (not wet clay, dry - freshly mined - clay) is used on the wet compost pie shell. Uncooked Mud Pie is baked on a range. You now have a mud pie (or preferably ten mud pies). If you right click you will see the option to "Wear" the mud pie, select that and it will equip it in your sword arm. Then, when you attack next, the mud pie will be thrown at the target. You have the same options as for ranged weapons, Longrange / accurate / rapid. I went up to the wildy and threw a few about, but most people weren't in the mood. If anyone wants to group up and have a big mud pie fight send me a pm (in here so I can add you in game). I'm still unsure as to what the effects of being hit by the pies are. I tried to ask the fellow I threw them at and he just said "Go away pie noob!" and stabbed me with a dds :(

But still should be encouraged, as long as the side doing the arguing can back up their arguments. If you start to ban outright denial, then you have started on a very slippery slope to banning any contrary opinion being voiced at all.

See I don't think you can actually protect a 'truth' by making it immune from questioning. And what is the "truth" of the Holocaust? No one person's account would ever be expansive enough to accurately reflect it so we have a mishmash of accounts - verbal and written, a handful of theories and a large amount of speculation. I don't think that any good can come of protecting something that isn't able to be verified to any level of accuracy as a "truth". I think that things like the Holocaust, and here in Australia the so-called "Stolen Generation" should be open to questioning without those doing the questioning being howled down as racists or antisemites. It's only through critical analysis of all the competing ideas, theories, accounts and recollections that we will ever be able to whittle away the myth and arrive at a cohesive "truth".

Agreed. Denial of the Holocaust - or more correctly disagreement as to what actions actually constituted the Holocaust - do not equal antisemitism. Bearing in mind that Irving does not refute the idea that Hitler was committing genocide against the Jews and others, more that he argues the extent to which those plans were put into action.

I'd hazard an educated guess that the advertising revenue from a handful of google targeted ads would barely cover a quarter of the hosting costs for a site this size. To say nothing of the bandwidth requirements. Presumably if he has no active role then those he has chosen to carry out his wishes do. The forum suggestions board has been removed which would indicate to me that the powers that be are not particularly interested in what the userbase would like, let alone interested in giving them an active say in how the forums are run. But like you, I have no real knowledge of the rulemaking process.

I agree, most of the rules enforced here are quite stifling for anyone over the age of 13. But hey, that's life. Rules change and complaining about them rarely gets them changed.

How much money do you contribute to the upkeep and maintenance of this site? Given the amount of money you contribute to the upkeep and maintenance of the site, what amount of say do you feel entitled to as to how this site should be run?

I got a little bored with the F2P version... and very curious as to what lay beyond those gates north of Falador.

True enough... but it's still a private forum run (and paid for) by someone and those who are picked to run the forum in the way they are told to. The rules are the rules, and there is nothing stopping any of us from setting up our own forums with our own rules. That aside, I agree with you 100%. It should be up to the posters themselves (and their parents if they are not 'of age') to decide what they can and can't post on the net.

Yes, but being rude is one of the few pleasures I allow myself these days. Last time I checked "easiest" and "fastest" were not synonyms.

Yes, obviously.... A skill that requires no equipment, can be trained any place on the runescape grid, has no level requirements to use higher xp raw materials and who's raw materials litter all parts of the game would have to be the hardest. Sorry, I forgot that today was international arse-backwards day.

Out of interest... what exactly is it about burying a bone that you all find so difficult?

It really is a sill argument, and one that none of us actually knows the real answer to, but that's never stopped me before. In my opinion the F2P version is not a "demo", nor is the full version an "expansion pack". The F2P servers run a full version of the game with modified data tables. Which is why, on the free version, there are still dungeon entrances, agility shortcuts and members quest NPCs. Which, instead of acting the way they do on member's severs give you the "You need to be on a member's server to access..." spiel. Similarly all the code to display members items exists on the free servers - with changes to their data tables to replace their names with "members object" and set all their stats to zero. So it would be more correct to refer to the free version as a "feature locked trial version" than as a "demo" which is usually a cut-down version of a piece of software. And more correct to see the P2P version as the full version rather than an "expansion pack" which usually refers to specific functionality that you pay extra for over and above what you would pay for the full version of a piece of software.

Depends on how you're defining "easy" and "hard". Prayer is technically "easiest" because all you have to do is click on bones. They don't even have to be bones of things you've killed. Being able to be "bought" or not is not a measure of the ease of the skill itself. Something like crafting would probably be the hardest because of the combinations of actions required to create objects like tanning hides, then using a needle on them while having a thread in your inventory, or chiseling gems then using a gold bar on a furnace while having a mould in your inventory.
