Temple Trekking Mini game
As many adventurers know, life can't be all dragon-slaying and rescuing maidens in distress. For one, dragons are pretty fierce and most maidens tend to be able to look after themselves these days. So, to be a little useful and perhaps earn a crust, the wily adventurer knows how to turn their skills to many a trade, such as the ability to be a guide.
Since Burgh de Rott has had a recent face lift, and the general store has been filled up with supplies, some of the villagers feel ready to brave the trip to Paterdomus, the temple on the Salve. Of course, there are some trivial dangers to keep an eye out for, but nothing that a well-prepared adventurer couldn't deal with.
This minigame is designed to be a more fun and challenging way of making money and gaining xp than your normal RuneScape? routine, and gives you something else to worry about while crossing the perilous swamps of Morytania.
Very bad. useless. You basically help the residents of Burgh De rott to get out of the swamp. Have to defend them from the vampires.

Microsoft said that Vista is "feature complete," which means that the code writing process is basically over. "The next phase of development focuses on security, testing and fit/finish - not writing new code," the spokesperson added. This is because last week it was stated that 60% of vista code is going to be re-writeten which is not true. Just thought we'd clarify this. The company also reiterated its prior shipping targets -- to business in November, and consumers in January 2007. http://www.betanews.com/article/print/Microsoft_No_Vista_Code_Changes/1143232877
Microsoft is not very trust worthy according to this website. Microsoft ranks 20 out of 22, while HP and Apple were near the top. Dell, Apple, and (surprisingly) Bose lead the trust ratings.

Another Ie bug, once again. You can not run this safely, the best thing to do is to turn off active scripting. You can also switch to firefox or opera. These holes will not be patched until April 11 patch tuesday. Have I convinced you yet?? http://www.techreview.com/Blogs/wtr_16628,292,p1.html
