  1. i've gotta say, i'm loving this new sig... though i don't post enough anymore for anyone to see it...
  2. clearly, soma has taken a physics course. clearly, you haven't. he was correct; the pound is a measurement of force, which is basically the same thing as its weight. yes, kilograms are a mass, but you don't hear someone asking how many kilogram-accelerations you weigh, do you? because the acceleration due to gravity is practically constant at the surface of the earth, you'd just be multiplying everything by 9.8. which makes using just kilograms to describe your weight, when considered relative to others, valid. ANYWAYS, what was the topic about? oh right, factual accuracy. surprising that i ended up actually being on topic :thumbsup:
  3. Kind of a moot point, but have you ever driven into a suburb, where there are seemingly thousands of identical houses? Guess who builds those? Well, yes, alot are illegal aliens, but the people in charge are filthy rich. Now, if you could sell houses in RS, imagine how much money the 99 construction people would be making :shock: As the others have said, not all skills need to become the prime way to make money, replacing all that came before. The prime example is agility.
  4. whichever was the most recent f2p quest. was it the runecrafting one?
  5. ROFL, E, I had to! They made me do it!!! :wink: hmm... i win. but after reading responses to my post, i'm not sure i should have; in skipping all the intermediate posts in the thread and having not been on the forums for awhile, i didn't realize people were looking for the editors with a malicious intent. my bad -.- (i love the new emoticons!) surely i'm not the only old-schooler around that knew that though? :? besides, Eeeeediot was before the controversial article(s).
  6. i may be old and senile and all that, but i'm 95% sure the original editor was Eeeediot. which is probably what the writer was referring to when he said not to mention when i was interested in actually writing for tip.it times (after which i became massively bogged down in homework), eeeeediot was the one coordinating it all. hmm, this is my first post here in... some months...
  7. though i haven't really been active in tip.it lately (i'll come to the haloween bash! i promise!), i guess i'll put my name on there. RSN: Senor Tamale time zone: MST (GMT - 7)
  8. nice invisible fine print. as for the ladder in the fally west bank, i remember there being mention in RS2 beta that the ladder leads to one of the jagex mod's offices (which could easily be a joke, but as we'll never find out, both realities exist. go Schr̮̦̉̉dinger \ )
  9. it'll likely still be here (popularity questionable), and i'll probably still be playing on-and-off like i am now. mostly out of habit, and i can't let my leet geepee pixels go to waste. as for the energy debate. the fuels aren't as clean as you think: nuclear fission involves having a critical mass of uranium 238, hitting one atom with a proton gun, which starts a chain reaction which releases heat. the heat is used to boil water which drives turbines. the problem is with the finished product, which has an extremely long half life emitting dangerous radiation, which must therefore be buried deep underground in remote locations (unless, of course, you want your babies to grow arms on their heads and the like). nuclear fusion, as was said before, involves combining isotopes of hydrogen, which yields water, heat, and an electron. there are a few problems here as well; you need to raise the temperature high enough (in the thousands celsius, but i'm not sure) for the reaction to occur. the isotopes are also a bit uncommon, and if we needed to make the isotopes we'd have to derive them oil, which has its own nasty byproducts as well. with the fuel cell, pure hydrogen and oxygen are combined to release energy. the problem again is with the fuel (pure hydrogen), which in production requires massive amounts of energy. most alternative energies are too low-intensity to mass produce it, and if we extracted it from fossil fuels, more carbon dioxide would be released than we currently release with burning fossil fuels. hydroelectric plants supply such a small percentage of the electricity in the world that it's insiginificant. the rest of the energies would likely be the same insignificant percentage of the needed power in the world. sorry that this is so long.
  10. similar to the democrats blaming the green party for losing gore the election in 2000, i blame the 'keep - show in profile' for the 'yes - remove' option's failure.
  11. it seems i can't show up either... i have an ultimate frisbee tourney in breckenridge this weekend 8-)
  12. yeah, those were ridiculous, but like i said, that was during the couple days the autoers were running rampant, then jagex did that mass ban. even if they didn't get banned, they'd get reported wherever they went if they logged in again :shock:
  13. i would laugh my [wagon] off if they did a real reference to that show... "Zim, you have a pigeon on your head. you have head pigeons. go to the nurse before it spreads to the other children." as for names, a couple coming from the days/week the autoers were swarming whichever world it was (78?)
  14. i'm in as well, though there's the risk of oversleeping, or parents randomly deciding the family needs to go hiking. combat of 110 (and before you all moan, i have 0 pking skills, so i'll likely be out in the first round)
  15. i'm fairly sure i remember pinks being 18-20 mil. but i digress
  16. does that have to do with the ring of recoil? i remember you could reflect 1s back and forth at your opponent, so basically whoever had more health would win. it was kind of funny really...
  17. my hardest quest without the guide was underground pass... i was trying for hours and hours to cross all the [bleep]e pit area, then finally gave up, got 50 thieving, came back, and it still took a couple hours for the final walkway area. i had 50 agility then, by the way. mourning's end 2 was very hard of course, i used a guide eventually though. well initially i'd thought you needed to match the color of the door with the same color light, rather than the opposite in the spectrum :wall: after that was cleared up, it was a bit easier... and could you all stop with the obsession with initials? what does RFD stand for? and DT? :?
  18. it's offensive to alot of people, so jagex censors it. let's not get into a debate about justified censorship; people can be stupid and offended by it, and jagex will comply and censor it. period. and correct me if i'm wrong, but i could've sworn dragon squares alced for 60k each... cannons parts would've been twice as fast (again, correct me if i'm wrong, i think the minicannon quest was before legends) paganini smiley face rocks my world :boohoo: (why is it boohoo? :? )
  19. ? confused.... nice work again though. i don't have anything intelligent to put here, as it's 6AM for me. sorry.
  20. nice jagex vocabulary :lol: (not laughing at you, just the actual usage) as others have said, the same can be done using dueling rings, at a minor expense (unless you collect gem drops while you're training, or w/e) being the combat level i am, i don't get bothered by abyss pkers very often, so it's just a waste of time for me. if they were a larger threat, i'd use dueling rings instead (that construction loading screen will be the death of me)
  21. lol, i was thinking just that :P note to anyone who's said or is thinking 'i have to make a null!', the format will likely not be the same as last time, and you'll be wasting time making one now. just wait until the week of the event when the host tells us how we should make them.
  22. all they did was change the song from minor to major, lol. of course, like most everyone else i am excited about this. i'm also happy with my construction level at this point. one of the features that i love is the option in the portal room to tele to canifis... no more long walks there for quests when you need to keep normal magic on :D
  23. abbreviations are the bane of my existence. that said, 'con' is a funny one for me, since we have a class called constitutional law, which everyone abbreviates 'con law' *shudder*... so.. yeah. construction = construction teak = teak mahogany = mahogany
