For the sake of transparency, the current people with the ability to automatically push updates to the SDN are: @Alek (duh) @Ericthecmh @Laz (duh) @SXForce @XavierM

You guys can thank beastlymaul/GoldenGate for giving me a PIN, which then resulted in me noticing the problem and moving to correct it ;p.

Wat

Except that is probably the most accurate description. I do get asked about random things so my contributions are all over the place.

Zach didn't create OSBot/Develop the client though does he? Edit (removed original post explaining my role), now it's just "Maybe" :-).

You'd rather future proof on the CPU rather than the ram 8gb is way more than enough today and maybe for a few more years.Having a nice CPU with a SSD will go a long way. Ghost mate listen get a nice i7 current gen with a SSD and your set for life. I'm a programmer and I'm going over 8GB RAM long before I even get noticeably slowed by a dual core CPU. Obviously that's my workflow and it's not going to apply to everyone. Obviously getting a quad core is nice. But if I had to pick between RAM and a quad core right now, I'd take the RAM. Well that's your work flow but here we are trying to cater to that needs of OP, for you having a quad core would make productivity even more breezier.I assume OP wouldn't be coding he would the find extra bonus in a quad core say i5 CPU and have around 8GB ram that will last him a long time. If he's using it for general school work, he's not even going to notice the difference between a dual core and a quad core. At that point, just save money.

yeah i know but the specs on this are like the same if not better than a mac and it costs twice as less than a mac :'( "twice as less than a mac :'(" What are you trying to say? That makes no sense Anyway if you want a laptop for just college why go all out? You can get a laptop for 200 bucks that will do the job... you know what i mean lol plus i want something that will last me a long time i dont want to get something that ill use for a year and it starts to get slow and feels like crap..... I generally dislike the idea of future proofing on a processor because in a few generations, your processor is going to be slower anyways. It's better to future proof on RAM or get an SSD, both of which will benefit the average workflow more than a quad core (compared to a dual core). If you're going to be compiling a lot of code, then I can see the argument for more cores. But in terms of the average college workflow, there isn't going to be a big difference.

I have 2 friends that jumped for the Y510p and have good things to say about it, but having never used it, I'll reserve judgement. I think both ended up switching out the HD and putting a SSD in though. Also, I did just notice that you said this was for school. You'd be fine with a single core laptop since college doesn't really involve all that much processor power during your gen ed years. If you're looking for a laptop for gaming, then you probably should be looking more towards the Lenovo Y510p. Might I ask what you plan on using it for in college? Besides the general education stuff that any old laptop can do perfectly fine.

i want something that isnt too heavy or too pricey like all what you just listed costs so much money and the one i linked has if not better specs than most of what you listed and costs so much cheaper Pure specs aren't everything. I'm looking towards build quality, rollcages, screen quality, etc. I've been known to refuse to buy a laptop for something seemingly mundane, like not having a certain instruction [set]. A 5400rpm hard drive is a no go for me. I'm just picky about laptops that I end up using for a long time.

I've always liked EliteBooks, ThinkPads, and MacBook Airs/Pros. Growing up on them probably biased my view though ;p Anyone used to have the iBook G3 haha?

Unarchived.

For people having issues with v1.7.47, this version can be temporarily found at http://osbot.org/get/osbot 1.7.45.jar.

@pyroryan Did I guess correctly?

Do you get paid to be a mod? Like if i was gonna get sponsor/VIP it wouldn't be money out of my pocket id spend. It'd be money i get from services and goldfarming Global mods and super mods don't get paid. All admins get paid, although I'm not sure whether @Raflesia does or not. Moderators don't get paid, but we do pay admins (yes, that includes Raflesia if it wasn't already clear).

We've always had IRC #osbot on rizon, just that no one uses it these days (it died after chatbox came out).

Personally, in terms of a cheap laptop, I like Lenovo and Asus. The laptops I'd buy are over your budget simply because our requirements are different. If you don't mind me asking, what are you going to use the laptop for?

I guess I'll have to give a pitch to Clevo since they probably won't be mentioned. They are more expensive though. Look into the Y510p for a cheaper laptop that's still decent.

Hotfix on top of hotfix.

Based on our conversation, I think he's refunding everyone and having them repurchase. But don't consider this the final official answer.

I am fully interested in staying. If you can allow me to use the SDN and push automatic updates, I'll be happy to rewrite my code to be compatible with OSBot's SDN system. Eric Let's take this to PMs or Chat then (whichever you prefer, I'm on both). Let's just forget the past and let the past be the past. I'd rather look towards the future. I know the other admins would rather it all stay on the SDN so it's a consistent framework (unless there is something so serious it would be prohibitive, but that's never happened yet).

The rule has always been that you're not allowed to sell scripts outside of OSBot. It just so happens that we're cracking down on it. If he's interested in staying, then I'm sure we can work something out. If it's automatic updates that bother him, then fine, I'll permit him to bypass the entire check system based on the fact that he hasn't done anything yet (that I'm aware of). I'm not sure how he's packaging his scripts, but he'd have to make it compatible with the current SDN. Believe it or not, compromise, it exists.

Identities of the scripters that are permitted to bypass the process will be revealed for transparency purposes once they've all been chosen.

Some of the active script writers have requested the ability to bypass manual pushing and code verification. This has become a burdensome process for some of the active ones, especially since it can take hours to complete the process and update the script on the SDN. I'm happy to say that we've reached a compromise and will authorize certain scripters to bypass the process, enabling their SDN scripts to be updated within 1 minute of them pushing an update. So, what does this mean for the end user? We're sacrificing code verification for our most reliable scripters and giving them the ability to more rapidly respond to any changes. Hopefully, that means more stable scripts for our end users.

Restart it a few times. If nothing works, delete client.jar there and keep trying. I had the same issue and it seems like it had more to do with Jagex's servers.
