The Tips and tricks section of the Tai Bwo Wannai Trio quest guide says: The fairy code DKR (Edgeville) should be DKP (Karamja). This error has been reported by Dark_nite666.

I believe you're looking for this. You can never be safe in the knowledge that your data has been erased until the hard drive itself has been erased. edit: On a rather more serious note, if you really want to DBAN your hard drive, wiping all of your data in the process, you could boot from an Ubuntu Live CD and enter the command 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 bs=1048576' at a terminal instead. Though DBAN is going to be easier. Otherwise, you could use the Clear Private Data option in Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer and most other major browsers...

The "must be in reply to a user click" rule text applies to third-party clients and services that run on as many clients as there are users, more than anything. Consider the intent and context surrounding this change to the rule: Jagex added that text back when SwiftSwitch's server select screen updated the player counts on each server every X seconds. Now, SwiftSwitch runs once on every player's computer, so if many people use SwiftSwitch, the world select page is hit NumberOfSSUsers/X times per second. This was in the thousands, if not tens of thousands, per second, so this action got their bandwidth costs soaring. However, no matter how many users RuneScript has, the GE is checked for updates once a minute on one client, which means Jagex gets 1/60 of a request per second. I would say this isn't so bad. Geupdate.com and the bot GrandExchange on SwiftIRC do the same thing: one set of checks for any number of users.

Micksam7, head of the RuneTracker, thinks this is because (the old) Meet Halfway changed his or her name, didn't tell RuneTracker about the change, then someone else with higher EXP took the name, and upon the next lookup of Meet Halfway's stats, a point of data in the Tracker was added. In any case, that record has been removed. Thanks for bringing that to our attention! :)

(For the record, I'm Das's main source on this. I'm still waiting for Cruiser or someone else to visit the pages in a Windows VM containing an antivirus, but both links to HTML pages seem to only have JavaScript provided by Wordpress, no other JavaScript. The text files are OK.) Here's my comment on this thing, copy-pasted from silent c0re's blog: Now I see that there is a supposed "proxy list" that the hacker is to use on New Year's Eve; he could also have acquired that from pretty standard proxy forums/elite proxy forums. There's this old Internet adage that says "Don't feed the trolls." I think this Marsh guy is satiated.

The calculators use a PHP script to set a cookie on your browser with your username if you choose to enter one, then a PHP script to parse the light highscores for the user's XP, then use JavaScript on the client side for the calculations. (Of course there's going to be some HTML, it's what the browser uses to display the calculator.)

Loaded this thread after seeing it Twitter'd by OfficialJagex, so I sent my entry :) And yes, you should only send your address if you're chosen as a winner.

I'll add a note to this thread: look for compression options in your screen recording application of choice; change the codec to be something other than Full Frames (Uncompressed), if it is that. This will save you a lot of hard drive space. Be aware that some codecs can be slow. Since I've used Camtasia for a while to make screen capture videos, I've found the TechSmith Screen Capture Codec to be fast, yet lossless, though this was mainly for low-movement captures (most desktop apps) and RuneScape.

Do you know where I could get a surround sound test file that actually works? Well, if you don't mind having video with the audio, you could always look at some of these. I found them while searching for "surround sound test file mp3", but they're not just audio :P

I have an MP840, formerly T.sonic 840, by Transcend. It costs about 100 Canadian dollars now. It can play files copied to the drive with ordinary file browsers and commands (if you're a Linux guy!): MP3 and WMA for music, BMP and JPEG for images, TXT for text files. It can also reportedly play videos converted to a special format for the device, but the provided converter Doesn't Work, so get the non-video version to save some bucks. 4 GB Flash memory (you might be able to get some higher capacity ones now), mini-USB 2.0 connection, 10 hours music playback... also, mine fell to the ground a few times and still works! :D

You can't use HTML frames in a table o.O a frame hosts a document, which contains the table. Maybe an IFRAME element will work though. It won't be resizable like a frame, but it'll be something you can place inside the table. Or even a %-sized table with %-sized table cells and the CSS style "overflow: none;" Though I must ask, what do you want your site to look like?

Since Sunbelt Labs has an entry on the named Trojan, and its advice is to use Remove, Sunbelt Home and Home Office antivirus might be able to remove it. Or look for "Backdoor:Win32/Rbot.gen!G removal tool" on Google :) Jard, while your instructions are top-notch for those who want to submit infection samples to an antivirus lab (i.e. IT security experts), I don't expect average users to be able to do this. :|

What is true? That security through others' lack of knowledge of your custom forum software Just Works? Security through obscurity is the worst form of security. All IT security experts know this. Tip.it's rather few coders would have to throw forum software around using hack upon hack upon hack to make deadlines, not even knowing how stuff works at one point; the hacks would make the server quite vulnerable to attack and call involuntarily inefficient SQL queries which would slow everything down to a crawl, amounting to an easy DoS hole. A third-party popular forum package gets used much more, and if someone from one forum discovers a vuln, everyone else can get the patch. Further, you haven't tried to prove your point of view on this subject, just to say "what I say still stands true". (Agreed) This still doesn't change the fact that Tip.it could make old links work with mod_rewrite, however. (Not enough knowledge in this area) See the code posted in Pure_MageUK's response. Bad interpretation on your part. In my reply, $numTopics is not $iTopics, $topicID is not $iTopicID, $userMessage is not $strUserMessage, $sUserMessage, or even the messy C-style lpszUserMessage. If you read carefully, I encourage active use of disambiguating affixes for data elements that say what the data is. $topic may be an ID, a string containing the topic's title or contents, but $topicID is clear and concise. It does not have the datatype in the name. And logic errors occur in any language. PHP has the dot operator and the plus operator, for concisely conveying whether you want to always concatenate strings ("2" . "2" === "22") or to add things -- whatever type they have -- ("2" + "2" === 4). Java is a strongly-typed language but it has really bad semantics with its plus operator to make strings, especially for char variables: "a" + 'a' == 'a' + "a" == "aa" (expected) 'a' + 'a' == 194 (unintuitive) "2" + "2" + "2" + "2" == "2222" "2" + "2" + 2 + 2 == "2222" (unintuitive) 2 + 2 + "2" + "2" == "422" (unintuitive and inconsistent with above) PHP has: "a" + 'a' === 'a' + "a" === 'a' . 'a' === NULL (cannot add 'a', not a number) "a" . 'a' === 'a' . "a" === 'a' . 'a' === "aa" (concatenation) "2" + "2" + "2" + "2" === 8 (addition) "2" . "2" . "2" . "2" === "2222" (concatenation) and all the 2 + "2" and 2 . "2" follow with the pure string versions. It's really easy to have unintended or unintuitive string conversion in Java, which is a strongly-typed language. You may argue that I should have used "2" + "2" + (2 + 2) in my Java code to form "224", but it's still not that great. Java, CIL and PHP are all interpreted languages. Java and CIL just start with bytecode, with PHP starting with the script. Zend over PHP is fine. (Gives no meaningful information, appeal to belief) File a feature enhancement request with the Invision guys, it's not worth talking about here on TiF. I have no experience with recent Invision software, but if it's as configurable as phpBB is, it should have an option to accept non-SEO links already. It looks like both of us haven't used recent Invision Power Board though, so can we please stop arguing technical merits? side note: lol @ Pure_MageUK saying just "Thanks." to "Tip.It's programmers do not have the skills for such a task"

Debatable. For most users, there will be relatively little difference between both, just where profile options and sig options are and stuff like that. For administrators, phpBB and Invision both have features that the other doesn't, such as Invision's new separation of admin privileges (some can be restricted to the themes interface, some can get full admin privileges, etc.) But both are as easy to install, as easy to administrate, as easy to add MODs to... That's all that counts. If you want good forum software, you use something with a good policy regarding patches and a security-conscious programming team. You don't want your forum to get hacked by some noob who thinks he's cool because he can URL hack his way into &action=delete for all threads... and you mistakenly only hid the &action=delete button from forum threads, and didn't bother to check for permissions in the delete script. While I don't think Tip.it's web staff is that bad at security, they're just too few people to provide the needed code oversight. phpBB and Invision, on the other hand, have dealt with these security issues and provide patches quite frequently. Now would you say that using phpBB or Invision is that bad? Tip.it Forums and Tip.it are pretty much completely separate, except for Tip.it Times article and discussion links (which link into the forum) and Community Events, RuneScape News and all that stuff from the front page. The only thing for Tip.it to do, as I see it, is to change the links to point to the new URLs. Hell, they could make /viewtopic.php?p=123456 still work with some mod_rewrite magic. If PHP is junk, why do so many Web sites use it? (Many of these sites are even phpBB and Invision forums! Also includes Wordpress, which is written in PHP.) Good naming conventions for variables can give you some insight into their types without needing to think much. Would you think $numTopics is a string, or an int? What about $userMessage? Cases where you have a variable named $topic can also be disambiguated by using $topicID or $topicTitle. Now, which is a string, and which is an int? I believe you're horribly misled here; I think you're thinking of Wordpress and its long SEO links, such as /blog/2009/09/03/how-to-make-money-in-runescape-12345/, which does not have anything to do with either phpBB or Invision. Recent Invision software has links like /topic/123456/, where 123456 is the Topic ID, or /topic/123456/2/ where 2 is the page you want. edit: After seeing a link to a thread from an Invision Power Board forum, which seems to use slightly different software than what I'm used to, they do have the title in them, and trying to remove the title from the URL makes the forum go back to the Index. Myyyy bad! Though the title itself is indeed not used by the software, you could just as easily go to /topic/123456-X and it'll stil give you the right thread.

I'll have to agree, and add another set of random events... When I train at ice giants -- or in members, fire giants; same thing --, and get a Leo the Grave Digger random event, a Prison Pete, a Mysterious Maze or a Mime, the NPCs I fought become aggressive. And since I dislike ice warriors due to them not dropping big bones -- their other drops are also not really worth it, rarely alchable --, I hate it when a random event makes them aggressive again, ruining my streak of ice giants. At fire giants, I would be ranging, and them becoming aggressive would complicate things when I pick up the drops or switch to another fire giant for combat.
