  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)
