Discussion on The Forums
Hosts: Shane12088, Brad, Poison333, and Nate

Topics Discussed:

  • Fairy Tale Pt II - Cure a queen
  • The new transportation network, 64 possibilities about 25 are useful.
  • You need 57 herblore, 49 farming, and 40 thieving. You’ll also have to be able to defeat a level 145 monster.
  • Reward is 2qp, 3500 herblore xp, 2500 thieving xp and a lamp worth 2500 xp that can be used on any skill. And of course access to the rings
  • One step closer to the big reward that you were promised from farmer Martin.
  • You can see some pictures on my blog
  • Oh and a new poll, looks like my western alienation post worked… either that or they just intended to do this. Catherby is winning.
  • Listener Questions!
  • The first Firefox 2.0 beta candidate has been released. The codename for this release is Bon Echo. “Under the hood there have been numerous bug fixes and improvements including a spell checker.” You can read the review here.
  • The new Blu-Ray dvd format protection has already been cracked. How you may ask? The print screne button. Obviously it should be automated. Toshiba is already planning updates to fix it. This quote pretty much sums it up:
    “People don’t use P2P because they’re immoral, or uneducated about intellectual property rights, or because they just enjoy wading through a sea of bad rips, trojans, and disguised advertisements for porn; they use P2P because content is either too expensive, or because it comes burdened with so much onerous and restrictive DRM “protection” that they can’t enjoy it the way they want.” Article link.
  • Microsoft has brought out a new application called “Private Folder” which lets people drag and drop files into a folder then they will be encrypted. You would need the password to obtain them again. The problem comes up that sometimes IT people would have problems with this because they need to access a crucial file or check if people are hiding “bad” files. View it here.
  • The Rants!

Duration: 47:36

Enjoy :)

Welcome to the site!

Finally! The website is finally up, which means we no longer need to post each episode in the forums. The forums are still going to be around, however they will be used for the discussion of episodes.

On the left of the website you can see the player, this will play the latest episode. There are also buttons for subscribing to the show in four main places (iTunes, Odeo, Yahoo Podcasts, and Podnova). Of course you’ll still be able to download the episodes manually. Below the latest episode you will see links to our 5 latest shows. Then as always with the R! sites, you can change the appearance and donate if you want to ;)

There are some other links and pages that I’d like to draw your attention to:

  • The forum, you can access this by clicking ./forum up top
  • The faq (frequently asked questions) as this is a podcast there are bound to be questions. Feel free to check in there about any questions you may have.
  • The iTunes link up top will take you to our iTunes page providing you have the program.
  • There are two main rss feeds here.
    • The first one lets you subscribe to the entire website and it’s posts (this one will not download episodes). The feed url is: http://update.rsbandb.com/feed
    • The second one lets you subscribe to the podcast, it has the ability to let you download our mp3 files automatically.  The feed url is: http://update.rsbandb.com/update.xml

With all that said, it’s finally time that this site has been launched.
