Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
When I was in a Biology class as a freshman that happened so much that the usually calm teacher got downright pissed and ultimately banned the game. (Which I just lost. And have been losing since that class...) I lost the game. :rolleyes: It bugs me when kids who don't understand code or certain things about it try to tell someone who does understand it that they are wrong. A fellow peer told me you can;t use OpenGL in Java. Apparently he has never heard of JOGL, LWJGL, or JME.

Real life help & advice
Tell them you actually get [cabbage] done? I do not want to sound arrogant, smart-assish, or overqualified. I am thinking of going with something like "I am self motivated and I believe I will integrate smoothly with the flow of things.".

Real life help & advice
At a job interview for somewhere like McDonald's, how would you respond to a question at an interview like "Why do you think we should hire you?" or whatever?

JaGeX: "Wellllp! We did our update for the month! We'll be eatting tea and crumpets today and tomorrow so we can't even go to our site and post whether or not there will be an update. Have fun playing in dung guys." You fail at mocking British people. They don't "eat" tea. They "drink" it. Next time you try to own someone, please make sure you don't make yourself look stupid. Aw, poor you. Taking offense to my writing? :thumbdown: Perhaps I should've said "drinking tea and crumpets." But you can't drink crumpets, can you? I guess you're one of those people who would say both; "drinking tea and eatting crumpets", even though it's unnecessary because people will get the general point. :rolleyes: I was well aware of what I was posting. I'm sure you are not smart enough to understand so I'll rewrite it for you. JaGeX: "Wellllp! We did our update for the month! We'll be drinking tea and eatting crumpets today and tomorrow so we can't even go to our site and post whether or not there will be an update. Have fun playing in dung guys." P.S Definition of eat: a. To take into the body by the mouth for digestion or absorption. Makes more sense than drinking tea and crumpets, does it not? :thumbup: Aye, but eating is the process of breaking down food and swallowing it. Drinking is consuming liquid and swallowing. You swallow in both cases but lets come to agreement and say this doesn't really matter. (PS I'm not British). OT: It looks like there is going to be no hint today. Edit,: just saw what Racheya said. Sorry about replying to the above.

6-Core Desktop Processors
I saw that motherboard and I ... [hide=video] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4 [/hide] That processor is amazingly cheap (the 1055). I have read articles and apparently you can easily overclock it to over 4.5Ghz with no issues.

Let us upload pictures/screenshots to Runescape.com
Here is how they can take a screenshot in Java: (hard coded) try { Robot robot = new Robot(); BufferedImage bi=robot.createScreenCapture(GameCanvas.getBounds); ImageIO.write(bi, "png", new File("/img/players/playername/image.png")); } catch (Exception e) { e.printstacktrace; } The only thing about uploading it to RS is bandwidth and space issues. 10 million players taking a 120KB picture is a lot of space. And 400 staff going through 10 million picture = a lot of time wasted in which they could be developing updates.

How to check FPS/Ping on RS?
I use fraps to check FPS and you can check ping by getting your world number and typing this in command prompt: "ping world#.runescape.com". It is the same as the world pings they display but you can get a live ping. I wrote a script for my g15 keyboard which gets my ping. Here is a sample of ping: [hide=pic] [/hide]

Putting the runescape applet into my own swing based application
This is against the rules of Runescape. Just use a browser extension and load http://www.runescape.com/title.ws

Private servers
The client is obfuscated so it is virtually impossible to find the correct and even any formulas at all in the code. Most if not all of the formulas are handled server side like the above poster stated.

Runescape: Back to basics
Runescape would need to have way better graphics and free-trading before I would start seriously playing over.

13-May-2010 Fairy Tale Part 3 & DirectX Support and Graphics Options
Yes, I've noticed significantly increased lag after the implementation of DivX support also. you can choose not to use divX graphics under "custom". My runescape is exactly as before, as that was faster for me. DirectX* I am running max graphics and the load times are slightly faster under DX then OGL.

Where you live ...
I live in the middle of nowhere in Kentucky(US). I hate the rural area. I like the sounds and sights of the city. I want to be able to talk to my neighbor who lives 30 feet away rather than 3 miles. I would give my left one to live the city now. Some people say the rural is peaceful and relaxing... BS. If you want to maintain interaction with people outside of your family and be able to hang out with friends besides doing tractor races, then don't move to the rural area. As soon as I finish up college, I will move to a major city.

My first dog
Use treats to re-enforce training. I eventually taught my boxer to use the bathroom outside. I gave it a treat when it went to the door and barked to be let out. I watched through a window and if it used the bathroom I would give my dog a treat. It took around three weeks for my dog to get it down. Never use negative re-enforcement. If your dog uses the bathroom inside of the house, LEAD it outside and encourage it to use the bathroom there. Never yell or physically harm the dog.

How much would it take to fix the Combat Triangle
The implementation of anti-hybridism. A person using melee in magic robes should have -melee attack modifiers. Basically you should not get any bonuses from using gear from a seperate fighting style class. Rangers should only benefit from dragonhide, meleers from armor, magic from robes. Enchantable armor could add some protection.Also, making spells which benefit each class of fighting and making magic more of a passive skill like prayer.

Don't you think it's kinda lame and arrogant to have Private Chat set to 'Friends'?
Is it arrogant to have doors on your house to keep people out? No. If I want some privacy, I should get it. I keep all of my in game chats off mainly.

13-May-2010 Fairy Tale Part 3 & DirectX Support and Graphics Options
Its probably to reduce polygons in the area. With the engine update, they had to increase the polygons under DX mode which makes your loaded areas lower to favor the changes. For example, if they had 2500 polygons in a 100x100 tile area before the update, they might have 2800 now. To reduce the polygon count, the tile dimensions of where you can go without loaded a new area is 96x96.

Runescape + directx = 3D runescape finally!
Dude, I used my 3D glasses from my Spy Kids movie with that picture and it looks bad [wagon].
