  1. I went to an all boys school for a while, I wasn't exactly the most popular guy, and the way i portrayed myself didn't help too much either. The girls didn't know too much about us, but if one of us were known as 'nerdy', the other guys at school would make sure that was known. I ended up breaking into the more popular group for reasons i regret. Basically, the school was a strict all boys catholic school, and i started being the 'class clown', of course I soon became more popular and had a lot more attention from the girls, but because I was always misbehaving, I ended up making some unwise choices, that have basically ended up ruining my life a few years down the track. My advice to you, stick with what you got, The 'Jocks' that got the beautiful ladies and neglected his studies in high school or a 'nerd' that ends up becoming a civil engineer or doctor, earning hundreds of thousands per year. I know which one I'd rather be. There is always time after school to fall in love.But that is just my opinion, I wish almost everyday that I could turn back the clock and do things right again, although in the end, it is your choice.


  2. For me, WoW is just a cut above the rest, I couldn't see myself playing many others, mainly because a lot of friends play WoW too. The only downside is that you cant move freely in between severs, because when i find out a friend of mine has a high levelled account on a different server I get ticked off that I can't hang out with them :P.


  3. I fully believe in the death penalty. I believe that if you murder someone, why should mercy be spared on your life? Did you stop to see if anyone would mind before you killed someone? I doubt it, so why should we stop to see if anyone cares if you die. Everyone is cared about in one way or another, so not only are you hurting the person you kill, but their family, and I believe that you do not deserve to live after something like that. I also think it should be spread out to people who commit other sorts of crimes, such as rapists and child molesters. These crimes can ruin the lives of the victims, and shouldn't the criminal also have to pay, and I mean a little more than living for free with 3 free meals a day, and just being bored all the time.


  4. I am 99 percent against abortion. Maybe because I have a baby myself, I don't know, but I always just ask, what if your mom had an abortion? How would you feel? (You wouldn't) In the case of rape/incest/etc I understand, or if you are not in the physical state to carry/deliver a baby, also understandable. However, the money or maturity issues? Get over it.If you can have sex, you can think of something better to do. There are tons of people looking for a kid to adopt, but most people will just have an abortion these days. Look up safe haven laws in your area, where I live you can take a newborn to any hospital, police department, or fire station and drop it off, no questions asked.Watch the movie Juno, you might see my point of view a little bit better, great independent film that has really hit it big.


  5. my boss sunk to a new low today.So I know how to weld, and am pretty good at it at this point, to start with.A machine broke today, actually a steel plate in it cracked. This part apparently costs five thousand dollars to replace. WOW thats alot right? Well for all of maybe ten bucks I could weld it back together (I say ten, since I make nine an hour, and it might cost a dollar for the electricity to weld it, and the wire I would use up)I say hey boss, want my two cents on this? No he says, but I told him anyways, to which he replies I don't think you can weld steel this thick. My certification test is to weld two pieces of one inch steel together, this is three quarter inch. Easy as pie. Oh well, if he wants to spend that five grand, it's no skin off my back.jerk.


  6. on some of the computers that I have used, it really slowed me down. couple that with the lack of compatibility with some programs, and it makes it a really tough operating system to get used to. Aside from that however, there are always bugs in a new OS, like XP for instance. It wasn't really a 'preferred' OS until like SP2, and at that point the majority of people started switching over from 98 and (ugh) ME. That stated, I have used my step mom's computer, which has Vista on it, just to surf the web and whatnot, and it really is a nice operating system both in looks and performance, as long as you have the equipment to run it well, and aren't attempting to use anything that is not compatible with it.


  7. Hey all, I'm just starting up a forum on my hosting here, and I was wondering, how do people here feel about having multiple skins?I think just having the default skins that come with the forum and maybe one or two added on that match the style of the forum a little better, but what do you think? Should I have a dark/light added on, in addition to the default skins? and should I leave the forum default as one of the included skins? or something that fits in with my idea of what the forum looks like a little better? thanks for your opinions :o

  9. Ok, so I just got a job as a general maintenance person in a laser cutting/machining shop. First day, I painted all day and was told I would basically be a janitor. Today, my second day, my boss asked for a bit of help taking apart a machine. I stand there for an hour while he fiddles around inside of it before he comes out swearing and cursing that he will have to cut the bolts because he cannot find where to put a wrench. I think wow, my boss is the head of the maintenance department, and can't figure out how to take out a few bolts. So I say are you sure you will have to cut 'em? At which point he tells me "If you are so smart why don't you do it yourself?" Needless to say, I had all four of his problematic bolts out in 5 minutes, 8 tops. So my boss must have decided then that I was worth at least my weight in gold around there, as no one seems to know much of anything about machines. Turns out he was the maintenance guy at a bank before he signed up for this gig. Later on today he asks me, "So, you know how to weld hmm?", to which I reply "Yeah, I go to school for that". So he tells me great, we need a welder around here, we have a welding machine and stuff. Again I think, wow how can this guy be maintenance and not now how to weld? Especially in a machine shop! Well, it gets better. I asked him what kind of a welder it was, and he told me Lincoln, which is just a brand of welder. Wow I think again, maybe I should get more specific. I ask whether it is MIG, TIG, or ARC, as those are the main 3 types of welding, and he says "I dunno, it's got a tank of gas on the side of it though." It turns out that it's a MIG welder, and it also turns out that my boss is a complete moron, and mostly all he does is change lightbulbs.So, I have decided I'll stick it out here, because at the rate I'm moving, I might just take his job.


  10. Personally I play Championship Manager 2008, but thats only because I've tried out all the 2007 versions of the 3 major games (FIFA manager, Football Manager & Championship Manager). I was considering buying Football Manager 2008, but after trying out the demos it was CM all the way, I really didn't see much improvement in this years Football Manager, but the new Championship Manager has been given almost a complete overhaul, especially to the match engine. To all who are a bit skeptic, I invite you to give Championship Manager.


  11. The one thing that will bring users to your forum is unique content. If you have a forum that is just like ten other forums, then the users are going to be split between those forums and yours. Find a niche, get a hold on what the users want, and make it something worthwhile for them. If you give your users information they need, they will come back. Give them something to look forward to for visiting your site, some useful tools, anything that will give people a reason to use your forum and not someone else's.

     

    basically the advice I am saying is, without a loyal user base, you really can't go into a general topic, your forum will look empty. Stick to a few specific topics and categories, then build your forum as you attract users.


  12. I do alot of things for a living :oI just landed a job today for general maintenance in a laser cutting plant where they cut metal pieces for airplanes. Mostly its just cleaning, painting, some basic machine maintenance. I also have sold cars, been a machine operator a few places, and within the next few months will be finishing up school for welding and metal fabrication, as well as earning my certification for 4" vertical mig welding. Eventually, I would like to go on to be a machine repairman, as I love working on machines and figuring out what is wrong with them.The problem around where I live is that most major manufacturers are moving their plants overseas for cheaper labor, and so job opportunities are dwindling. Because of this I have to go through a staffing agency to find anything decent, and well they usually take a good chunk of my paycheck for the first 3 months.


  13. Hi, I am driving a 95 Ford Escort, and well to be honest it needs some work :oI don't make very much money, so fixing it myself is where I am headed, and I'm pretty good mechanically, can weld etc, so it shouldn't be much of a problem. I also have a 94 Mercury Tracer, same car, with a blown motor so I have spare parts.The slight problem here is, well, I don't know a whole lot about cars, never really worked on one, and only had my license for about 6 months so haven't had much of a need so far.First problem I have, my exhaust is broken. The problem is, it is one piece all the way from the motor to the muffler, which costs about 180$ to buy. The problem with the exhaust is that the end of the flex pipe is rusted out, and it has broken so it is not connected to the rest of the exhaust. My question here is what is a cheap quick fix, and what could be a more long term fix, but still on the cheap? Secondly, I believe it is called my shock mount, but it seems to have rusted out, and my rear passenger shock is kind of sticking up into the back of my car. Is this something that i could simply weld a new piece of metal in to hold the shock in place? Or would it take a little bit more than that?Also, I have noticed that my car seems to sputter some like it isn't getting enough gas whenever I am in gear but stopped using the brake (It is an automatic). Also, it will sputter and almost die if I am accelerating and then have to brake quickly to a near stop. What could be causing this and are there any simple fixes?Lastly, whenever I am braking from speed (40 mph+) I have noticed that my car vibrates alot. This only happens when I am going more than 40 mph, so if I am going 55 and brake, it vibrates from 55-40, then stops. Is this a problem with my brakes? I have just put new shoes on the rear drum brakes, and the car has fairly new calipers and rotors on the front disc brakes.Thanks for any help or advice you can give me, it is much appreciated!


  14. On the contrary, it seems as though Summoning is quite a costly skill.

    I hope I just misunderstood what I read, haha.

    I'm sorry to say, but it's true. JaGeX removed 'pking' from the game to stop people buying RuneScape money for real life money. If you hadn't played the game for a number of years it would be hard to understand. But JaGeX discovered there were numerous sweatshops in countries like North Korea that were around simply for the fact of getting RuneScape gold and selling it to people. JaGeX said they were banning thousands of accounts per week for breaking this offense.

    In reality JaGeX were desperate to get rid of these sweatshops and tried many things, finally they decided to go to extreme lengths to make the game better for players who worked hard. To combat the sweatshops JaGeX deployed the following tactics / updates.

    *Banning thousands of accounts per week
    *Putting a limit on how much a player can stake in a dueling match
    *Removing the 'Pking' part of the wilderness
    *Removing 'Unbalanced' trades by putting a limit on how much wealth can be transferred within a set amount of time

    But JaGeX also knew these updates would upset and anger the players, so they made some more updates in conjunction with these

    *Making "Duel Tournaments where players can win up to 64 Million while versing a large number of other players
    *Making a new 'Bounty Hunter' minigame, where players can kill eachother to gain the other players items, though the area is a lot smaller than what the wilderness was.
    *Making the 'Grand Exchange' where the economy and prices determine what the trade limit will be, and also where players can put items up for sale and leave the item sell, whilst the 'Grand Exchange' matches them up with a buyer. The player doesn't even have to be there for their item to sell.
    *JaGeX also stated they are working on a 'Lend Item' idea, where players can borrow items and when they log out the item being returned to its owner

  15. First of all, I have to say that this topic will only help you out if you are a member, have either 60 strength or agility, have a decent ranged level (I would suggest 65+), a decent prayer level (50+) and at least a little bit of money to throw around to begin with. Honestly, it's really worth it, costs about 50-100k per load, and can easily sell drops for 4-500k per load, so at the minimum about 300k profit per load, which takes me about 1-3 hrs.

     

    First of all, Items Required:

    Rope (first time only)

    Monk's Robes

    Ranged Weapon (I use rune c'bow)

    Ammunition of your choice (I use Emerald Bolts (E) because they poison)

    Prayer Potions (I suggest ten 4 dose)

    Ranged Potions (Not needed, makes training faster, I suggest 2-3 4 dose)

    Law Runes (2, for teleporting to Trollheim, Aviansies drop runes to get back)

    Fire Runes (252, 250 for alchemy spell, 2 for the teleport)

    Nature Runes (50, for alching drops from the aviansies)

    Super Restore Potion (When you enter, your stats will be lowered)

    God Items, explained below

    Ok, so now I am assuming you have all of the above items, except maybe the 'god' items. I'll go ahead and explain them now.

     

    In the God Wars Dungeon, where the Aviansies are located, there are four different factions of monsters, Zamorak, Saradomin, Bandos, and Armadyl. These different factions WILL attack you, unless you are wearing an item representing their god. Personally, i wear a Zamorak coif, Saradomin bracers, and an Armadyl pendant (Obtained from Temple of Ikov quest). The pendant is not as important as the others, as the only Armadyl monsters are the Aviansies, and you want them to attack you. Any prayer book is helpful, as you will need the prayer bonus and when it is for Zamorak or Saradomin, it will count as your god item.

     

    Getting to the God Wars Dungeon:

     

    I recommend teleporting to trollheim, then running past the thrower trolls into the short path that goes north. From there, you can either move the boulder to the north with 60 strength, or squeeze through a crack with 60 agility. Once inside, run south a bit until you start seeing some flying bird-like creatures.

     

    Once you find a few Aviansies, take a sip of your ranging potion, flip on the protect from missiles prayer, and start to attack one. You will notice that some green vines come out of the ground under your opponent if you are using the emerald (e) bolts. This signifies that they are poisoned. The poison will do up to 5 damage at a time. Once you have an aviansie down to about half hits and they are poisoned, pick another one and start attacking it. Keep an eye out for the drops, they drop 4 noted addy bars very common, as well as rune dagger (p+) rune c'bow limbs, herbs, and lots of runes (You will need some of these runes to teleport back, and they sell well) The rune daggers and limbs are especially good for alching, 4800gp for daggers and 9600 for limbs, you will get more than you will be able to carry in one load usually.

     

    Continue fighting the aviansies, using your prayer and ranged potions as necessary, and avoiding the other various monsters meandering around the caves. They aren't aggressive, but if you accidentally attack one, they will fight back. Just kill it quickly or run away for a bit and return. Once you have ran out of prayer potions, make sure to keep an eye on your prayer, and stop attacking new aviansies somewhere around 20% prayer remaining (10-15 points should last long enough for you to finish off any aviansies you are still attacking)

     

    Finally, when you have finished up your aviansies, round up any remaining drops you may have on the ground, then teleport out or run back to the rope and climb out, running to safety.

     

    Now you can either smith your addy bars, or take them to the grand exchange where they will fetch somewhere around 2.3k each. I usually get about 175 kills per load, with between 130 and 200 bars, as well as between 50-100k in cash from alchs, and lots of miscellaneous runes and herbs.

     

    If anyone is interested, I can post up a few drop logs for reference.


    Note: I don't know if this should go here, or tutorials forum, also I wrote this for the Xisto forum so I didn't think it needed to be quoted, if I am wrong please let me know, I'm new :o

     

     

     

    Here's a drop log of my most recent trip, took only 8 prayer pots so not the best but killed 143 and lasted 1 hr 45 minutes

    81600 gp from alchs140 Addy bars480 water runes210 air runes8 law runes22 blood runes3 chaos runesnatures (I took 50, came back with 129)5 rune javelins2 avantoe2 irit1 ranarr weed1 dwarf weedclue scroll

    There were also tons of other drops I didn't bother with, body runes, antipoison pots, low level herbs (below rannar)
