Forecasted Price Changes due to Update
I think while you bring up some valid points on how some changes might effect markets, you're speculating they'll have a much larger effect than they will. Just because something might effect something else in a certain way doesn't mean it will go on in a high enough impact. What I'm trying to say is hard to explain, but just because a certain variable may have changed doesn't mean that that variable is big enough to make the impact you're thinking it will. Like if jagex added a respawn point with a pile of 10 chaos runes, people might speculate that since so many chaos runes were added for free their prices will go down. On the grand scale of things though, even though theoretically it might effect supply, the effect will be negligible. And I think that applies to most of your speculations.

Caffiene: How bad is it?
It's hard to say IMO. There are some proven health benefits, but it's not good to become dependent on it. The amount you're having isn't enough to get hooked on it I don't think, but my advice is to just have an apple in the morning rather than caffeine pills. I've recently started doing that and it works pretty well, and it's not a jittery type of energy either.

Monday Poll: How efficently do Tip.It guides cover info
I'd like to see a similar poll, except asking specifically about quests. Most other guides are at or above the quality other sites are, except quest guides have been lacking for a long time. It's not a fault of tip it's really, it's just that other sites make it so you don't exactly have to think to do any part of the quest. That's why more people use other ones.

End of Pokemon?
Oh ignore the fact that they're making millions off each game sold and just about any pokemon game is a guaranteed top seller. They went too far with creators and that's what'll stop them from making any more games. The developers really regret it, but what can you do? People make mistakes.

some changes to help cut down on keylogger spammers
While I don't agree entirely on the subject of your post, I did remember an issue that should be looked at. I don't know if it's possible, but I don't think people should be able to edit in new links after making their first thread post. Someone could easily link to one thing, people could reply saying it's fine and everything, then the original thread creator can edit the original link a day later with a keylogger link, and nobody would know the difference until it was too late. Anything doable about that? Could just not be an issue with pursuing.

Help with being scared!
Go for a 10-15+ hour marathon of forcing yourself to watch the scariest movies ever made til you're numb to it. It's called flooding. Might work, might not.

well, my MCAT scores are in...
Congrats Trapical. It must be unbelievably relieving to have gotten past that giant hurdle. Thinking about the MCAT just terrifies me. As for your donation idea, I'd just be careful making sure people verify ahead of time that they do intend on making donations. It's great to assume the best out of people, but if you make it too easy to just sign up for free gp if you eventually donate money some time in the future to a charity, I'd just assume the worst out of people. Maybe just have people pm you saying beforehand their plans and link to their charity they'll donate to.

have a question bout music...
I usually check billboard.com for new stuff. Check the top 100 singles, you'd probably find it there if it was new.

Dramatic fall in prices.
When items fall slightly, people panic and think they're going to continue falling. Since everyone wants to sell fast and cut their losses, they're basically messing up everyone else also trying to sell, competing with them all to sell for cheaper to just get rid of the items and cut their losses. It's just funny that they're the ones who are creating these dropping of prices situations for themselves.

Reading Is good for clubbing/Clubbing experiences
And that's what I like to call an alcoholic. If gas money is the sole determining factor whether or not you socialize with real people, you've got some anti-social issues going on.

OT lame news
It's rare that we get so many of those at once, and not worth making yet another containment sticky. With these each one normally does lead to discussion, and stickies limit the kind of discussion you could have if each person is randomly posting different links of different news stories all the time. Just because certain news stories don't interest you, doesn't mean they don't interest someone else. Granted a really stupid one does come up every so often, there's no use making a sticky and limiting the type of discussion we could otherwise have.

Who's your candidate for the 08 presiential elections?
I'd love for Ron Paul or Barrack Obama to win. They're both candidates of change. I don't see how anyone would want the current polarized to the extreme bipartisan system continued with Guliani or Clinton.

Man sues God to stop terror threats.
I'd say good inductive reasoning if it hadn't been explicitly stated already in the article.

Man sues God to stop terror threats.
The ones calling this guy stupid are the real stupid ones. The guy's doing this to make a point against the current frivolity of the legal system.

From Leeroy to Chocolate Rain
I love internet memes and fads like those. If you're a digg or ytmnd regular, you just don't miss those things. I can see why people would think they're stupid, but I think they're pretty funny.

Split the General Discussion board
Mission complete. 8-) Thanks staff for considering and implementing the ideas on this thread.

Looking for colleges.
Look into Cornell. I think they have some good genetic programs. I wanted to go into genetic engineering for awhile, but my school doesn't offer that.

I love Heroes.
I can't wait for the new season either! It's going to be awesome.

Argh
Don't worry so much. Focus on grades. Get into a good college. Just because you're successful doesn't mean you have to be corrupt. Go into medicine or something, help people. Just enjoy life. Be social and all that, and don't worry about it all.

Goldfish Jumping out of bowl.
I had goldfish that would do that. They'd always land back in the bowl though. Mesh might be a little too rough if it flies into it. Why not just keep replacing a tissue over the top and rubber band it tight? Water might evaporate into it though and make it just fall apart but give it a try anyway.

How fast is your internet? (cool little app inside)
I love my university connection speed. :P

Authors Locking Threads
You make a good point. At least maybe things should be changed so that if the author requests it to be locked, anyone who had posted on it can request it to be unlocked. But at the same time that sounds kind of weird. Maybe if you posted on a thread the creator had locked just make a new one of your own on the same topic. Although I do agree that currently it's a little weird that someone can lock their topic just because the repliers don't agree with him/her.

Dam u jadex!
- Where are you going to College/University?
:oops: :cry: :cry: I was there. :( The somberness in the air with the thousands of fans leaving heartbroken was palpable. Got a sunburn that's still peeling even today too. - Where are you going to College/University?
