OMG HAI DROOB! *hugs* I got no time for myself until December 10...ish. So I won't come on IRC until then. But I still do remember you from Wistan's channel :wink: (points at your sig where I quote a player's PM) :lol:

I have OCTC, OCHC, OCCC, OCBC and many other OC*C syndromes. Obsessive-compulsive Tinderbox collecting... same thing for Hammers, Capes/Coins, Bones and so on :P

If you can display the e-mail headers, you can see the IP address of the person who sent it: From: Yadda Yadda To: [email protected] Subject: Omg!

I suggest NeoTrace for this, though you can use any utility you like. Enjoy! :)

Well, um, in my usual frenzy of taking videos of everything, I made a Flash animation when I got Dr. Ford as a random event while mining. Location: http://looce.dyndns.org/Randoms/ For more instructions on viewing the Flash animation, please see this topic. [offtopic]Yay! 1,000th post![/offtopic]

You can't paste at ALL into the RS client, for anti-spam purposes. :wink: Then again, some keylogger makers would be smart enough to catch Ctrl+V and send in a snapshot of the current clipboard contents. What I'd use to circumvent a keylogger... is a simple Notepad. Assuming my password is "tipitownzorzlolol" (Not actually it...), I'd type in a sentence like "At the IP 65.149.194.27 you can deposit and also withdraw nothing more than a few dozens of striped zebra looming lepers overreacting to a hallucination", alternating between the RS client (underlined keys in this example) and the Notepad. If the keylogger isn't smart enough to detect application changes, clicking (not Alt+Tabbing) back and forth between the RS client and the Notepad will get the keylogger maker to see only the long phrase I typed. (As an added bonus, the person over there will go WTH as soon as he gets the keys :D)

program HelloWorld; var A: Integer; begin A := 2 + 2; WriteLn(A); end. Anyways, we got to start somewhere... I use Delphi with Assembly now, but it started with Pascal, like you. Then it turned into Visual Basic. Um, just google up "Pascal Tutorial" - and be wary of instructions not present in your version of Pascal... i.e. in Turbo Pascal for DOS, and Delphi, we have SHL, an operator to shift a value a certain number of bits to the left. That's not standard Pascal.

The System Idle Process is a measure of the CPU time not used by any other application, as it was said earlier in this topic. Using the hard disk doesn't use up any CPU, thus that time goes into the System Idle Process. And sometimes your computer needs to write some things on your hard disk if you don't have enough free RAM (memory). Reading this memory back will cause slowdowns, and lots of moving for your hard disk's reading heads, which causes the noise, I assume. To reduce the distance that your hard disk must move to read back this memory, use the Windows Disk Defragmenter (My Computer > [right-click on C:] > Tools > Defragment now). Example: If you have 312 MB of applications running, and only 256 MB of RAM, 56 MB (312-256) will go to the hard disk. When you use the applications whose memory was flushed, it will be read back, and the memory of some other process goes to the hard disk. (Ping-pong, anyone? :P)

Yes, I've had that same problem with an old monitor of mine. Something is broken inside or there's not enough energy to light up the screen. Just have it repaired (change the cathode ray tube) or buy another one altogether.

Owned! :D Heh, sometimes at the fishing store in Port Sarim I click "Buy 10 Raw tuna" instead of "Buy 10 Feather" :D Owned by lag. "Buy 5 Cannon barrel" <- :lol:

What Pyro said. An explanation for this: When you send a key to your computer via your keyboard, it is translated by your keyboard driver into a KeyPress message and sent to the active application. For that application to understand the key press, it must be sent as such a message. A "flaw" (if I may call it thus) in Windows allows another application (the "Keylogger") to catch all KeyPress messages sent on your computer. Now, like I said, key presses must be sent as KeyPress messages to applications, so your hotkey actually is translated to a series of KeyPress messages before arriving at (for instance) your RuneScape client. As are keys clicked on the Windows XP on-screen keyboard. Thus, keyloggers can catch hotkeys as their actual value (v9r3kv3;lv29 instead of Ctrl+Alt+5 for example) and can catch clicks on the on-screen keyboard as the right key. Conclusion: Not only can most keyloggers catch hotkeys, they all can.

WebCT, a company that makes software for schools, also has a product named WebCT Vista. I don't know if that's copyrighted however.

You can resize the C: partition in PartitionMagic and create another one beside it, called D:. Then, move all documents to a folder on D: and update the My Documents shortcut location (on the desktop, right-click on My Documents, select Properties, and change the path from C:\blahblah to D:\the_folder_you_just_created). This, however, is tricky. You must not move any files whose path is referenced directly by programs. It'd be better to just backup your data, reformat, partition and install your operating system and programs again. _________ To resize a partition in PartitionMagic just drag the right edge of the partition, as you would to resize a window in Windows: [_______C]<-> [_____C]<->[Free] And then create a partition in the free space.

Mercifull, the axe head always falls off and is visible to you for 60 seconds, then to others. As I see it, some person is just over your axe head and the white dot hides the red one on the mini-map. Not a PC problem ;)

If the video halts at about the same times, you might want to monitor your computer's activity a bit. * Does the hard disk make more noise? If so, your video file is fragmented. Use the Windows defragmenter on that hard disk. (My computer > [right-click on C:] > tools > Defragment now) * Open your Task Manager (press Ctrl+Alt+Delete in Windows XP) and see if the CPU goes to 100%. If so, either purchase a better processor, if possible, OR try to download a set of codecs that has better performance. * While in the Task Manager, you might want to see, in the Processes tab, if some programs take up your CPU time once every 10 minutes. If so, close them, or lower their priority. (right-click on the process name, priority > lower) Hope this helps :) (I assume Windows XP here, but if you have another version of Windows, disregard the part about the Task Manager)

Any firewall or router interfering with stuff? And did you set your FTP server to Active or Passive (PASV) mode? More details please :wink:

Some ideas could use constructive criticism, yes. Those are ideas that build upon each other. There might exist some errors in posts also, but these can be corrected... Now. Some ideas just can't make it because they're too silly or just plain unrealistic/one-liners/unfeasible. And that's where Blaziken comes in. He has gone from making pointless ideas (example, example) to making really well-thought out and really useful ideas (example). Stop flaming the newbies, as they might suggest the best ideas if they aren't rejected. Oh, and don't point out that I posted two bad examples and one good one. Quality over quantity. Splingyding is posting regarding posts in this forum. It's kind of normal that he posts that here. I admit I have had a laugh out of his earlier suggestions, but I was equally amazed at his newer ones. Congratulations TheBlazikenMaster!

ACK! Double post. The forums were in Debug Mode. I thought they failed to get my message.

Good one. :) Gave me a laugh. (Let's not turn this into a flame war...!)

There once was a girl from Antarctica who loved to explore the discount store in the penguin's backyard for some new socks and shoes but she had no money on her so she decided it would make sense to rob the bank. After thinking about it she decided to get some mischief powder to instead make the people eat food and not to watch the bank. The Haunted bank was built by a old man who glanced very quickly at the wris[bleep]ch he wore on his head... The bank was going to be styled, architecturally, like the Leaning Tower which fell onto a river of hot, boiling fudge. Well, she decided to cross the boiling river, she noticed something. It was a strange man standing in the boiling with a knife to smear some jelly on andrew grower. For some reason he liked it. He then ate my cousin, and I had to beat up Andrew. Then killed paul. However, my pants caught fire and boom went the toilet I then saw cheese flying through my bedroom window with someone riding a pink tricycle with training wheels and a large object floating in his pocket. Then a crusty wrench was dropped from the Twin Towers, which don't exist any more. Then a hot grabbed the wrench and she said "I will eat this like bacon". So she ate some cheese instead. Much to the dislike of her one-armed father who ate children. Thus her father hopped in his batmobile and drove into a wall of demon pigs that had green, rotten, smelly breathes. But suddenly from the top of the father's head, a three word, three d monkey said, "I will poke my s with a chopstick". The monkey jumped out onto the skateboard of his hairy toe. Suddenly, the chainsaw in the devious pub, started magically and began with its tremendous roar to scare the villagers. The antarctic went to the pub to save the moldy cheese that was kept in a lockbox. Then she realized she was bisexual and she yelled: "I want clinton!". She gasped as the toxic fumes tried to choke the smelly monkey, herself and her pet decided to die right there. The said "Oh, yes, I would like some new friends because I always thought that cooking is really really dumb". And after a run in with her nonexistent brother, she did some plastic surgery on her little, inflatable, round, and large unibrow that was growing very rapidly at around 0.0005miles/hour. But the surgery ended up being too expensive, so she died. Then the surgeon felt guilty, so he decided to stab her lifeless body. But he ended up making a bigpile of poopy which he later flung at neighbors general area while walking alight. However, once she saw this akward looking little boy who had a broken head and so she decided to go to the hospital to get a smelly blender! Being poopy, the infamous hotdog ronald ate her burger and then puked on her. Meanwhile in antarctica, the icecream man was flying in his Porsche to his ulgy momma whom everybody thought was really hot! When he arrived, 80 chinese kids were eating some really stinky crap made from snot that a dog had stolen from an old lady who looked like an old shoe. Suddenly, a massive quagmire appeared in Los Angeles, California and Texas. The quagmire was large and very stinky like frog guts and re-fried beans. While this happened, Bobby ate some good pie and drank some camelblood. Until suddenly, he was ambushed by an army of evil monkeys that threw poo on the ground, then ate it. Meanwhile, Superman flew off to rescue some fat jellyfish that Catwoman had stolen from the volcano of turd which was created by the big monkey-donkey-horse. The fat jellyfish found Antarctican-girl and they fell through the cold window of her midget friends potato and together they saved the world from the evil green foot fungus who was very small with spots on his eyes. An orange cheese covererd with fungus is very smelly and very dirty! The orange cheese came straight from hot fiery heck. "Oh my lord!", yelped the little remote control when she poked it with a random stick of wisdom. Out of nowhere, a rabbit appeared, with ninja turtles, and spiderman alone who bit george. Then -spiderman killed himself-, a desparate depressed guy wanted to become a real boy so he could eat strawberry pie, because apple pie was colored like cake in jelly. On another note, the president of communist Duck World was a republican who had a wife that ate 80 chinese kids, who had MSG. This is because his mum got brain cancer from drinking the evil smelly fart potion while listening to Zezima's loser life-story. This caused a N00B-fest straight from Varrock world one after Delrith came, eating genetically modified frogs with smelly butts which stank like a cabbage mixed with tomato and smelly armpits with no friends. Nobody expected to dance in this vile rat infested son of a mother and father with Jerry Lewis. But when everyone jumped on the cart of the furious horse tamer who thought that he was cool, he turned and said to the little girl. "Why must you torment me, because I hate my self and you? Thats ok I like being a transgendered she said. Then she bit me. Then i pushed her into a smelly butt of a fat ogre. My grandma said "I need help with my underpants because they're pretty and bright pink". In the meanwhile, somewhere else on the blue oysterbar, a magical muffin was eating a genatically manipulated spider, but got poisoned! So the muffin got antidote from a wizard named FatJoe, but was tricked by the evil muffin lord of Evil Pastry Lane. "I want to eat the muffin", said the Muffin. So the Muffin ate himself / herself because he was a very hungry and cannibalistic muffin. Having watched this, i just know I had to watch it all through my binoculars which smelled like bobble head dolls with a touch of lavender oil-covered antisocial butterflys with the lack of respect for the king of france and his queen which is dumb and useless and also a lawyer who no one ever known as much sillyness.she got naked, then she started taking pictures of birds in the trees with a camera that cost her twenty dollars at Subway Eat Fresh. But then she lost it and so random dude farted very loud,and blew up the rest of the poisonous lightbulbs. Being poisoned, the person ate pie and danced to the rythms of the planters peanuts and ate glue and indented these paragraph's poisioned penut pie. The whole universe was very unhappy so they ate cheese covered foot in her boots that she found... Yet it was very unlikely that her pixel sigs were any good in a place like the august so she moved her furniture outside of her pants and went to Thormac the Sorcerer who was eating, flying, and dancing a stupid dance on stupid music with his ugly pink pet poodle named Frodo Baggins who looked like it had rabies. Unfortunately, the girl (aka the man) killed the poodle, and made frodo CRAZYY!!! Frodo smashed his head on Thormac's beloved ming-vase and kill everyone with his butterflyknife which is pointy and made of

Creative writing goes to the Varrock Library forum. This Monday night newscast was presented to you by Looce Incorporated, General Motors, Frito-Lay and Zeeky H. Bomb. I just felt like saying that...

No, it's just a story.

You have played RuneScape for too long when, in real life, ... 1. You check your stats list to see how much defence your T-shirt gives you. 2. You pray at a church hoping you'll get steel skin. 3. You ask the butcher to keep all the bones for you so you can bury them. 4. You're asking everyone you see if they have some task to give you hoping you'll get quest points. 5. You ask your biology teacher what is the level of the skeleton in his/her class. 6. You ask what crafting level you need to enter art class. 7. While cutting wood, you ask everyone you see where Bob is because your axe broke. 8. After you drink some beers you start yelling "Buying attack potion hit 222 to sell" all around the bar. 9. You try to telegrab the ball that a child just lost in the middle of the street. 10. You ask your mother at supper, "How many HPs does this thing heal?" 11. You go to a medieval shop and ask, "What level is required to wield that sword?" 12. You don't worry about dying because you tell yourself, "I'll just respawn somewhere else." You have played RuneScape for too long when, in RuneScape, ... 13. You can mine runite ore, smith full rune with platebody, cut magic trees and high alch bows you made from the logs with runes you crafted yourself. 14. You go into the Wilderness alone and everyone starts using the Bow emote animation. 15. You are giving away full gold trimmed rune with dragon battleaxe at a drop party. 16. You give away dragon battleaxes for fun.

A vector image is one that only contains lines, curves and filling instructions. Vector images are thus easily resizable without all the fuss that resizing pixel images causes; one can also change the color of all the pixels in an element just by changing its fill color. Shockwave Flash animations are comprised of vector images, for example. A vector is a line, and many vectors and/or curves are combined to make a vector image.

I think doing pixel work is just opening Paint and bringing up the Pencil tool and filling stuff with the Bucket. No anti-aliasing. No Text tool, use your handwriting (or mouse-writing if you ain't got a drawing pad, just like me and my dumb old mouse). Just like this: Also: true pixel sigs compress very well in the PNG format and look crappy in JPEG. My 2 cents. (yes, the pic looks very nooby; I did it in 3 minutes in Paint just to show what I mean.)
