So, as you all (should) know, the SC is on a recruitment drive. I'd like to make my own request to everyone that frequents this forum. We have a lot of techies here, and I'm sure you guys could make a great SC. So, without further ado...
http://runescape.salmoneus.net/forums/inde...howtopic=300940
We're desperately understaffed right now (probably need at least 3-4 more people), so you can apply as either a host or writer/researcher (no editors as of yet). If you are applying as a researcher and have distinguished yourself by having knowledgeable posts on this forum, all you need to do is link to the posts, along with a brief bulleted summary (3-4 notes will be sufficient). Otherwise, follow the directions in the thread.
I look forward to working with you!
Full Version: Salcast
What exactly does this entail?
Well, we cover all software, electronics (gaming/computing/gadgets), trends in technology, the tech market, etc.
Ooh Caboose, you should have a debate with Bob-sama about PSUs!
The thing is that anyone that knows slightly anything about technology will be in this section.
For example, the interview I did about Windows 7 was a pretty dumbed down version of the Windows 7 VS Mac VS Ubuntu thread. When you get more in depth, the average person is going to get confused/lose interest.

I will be experienced in forum/blog technology, programming or coding, I might be looking at microsoft for more windows updates but most likely I will stick to programming and coding.
I might also look at word/powerpoint/etc if I get the chance. But first I have to see if runescape/jagex discussion has spaces, if not...well this is second choice.

So, does anyone feel like joining yet? 
Hehe... No.
I'd love to debate about computers and all, but I really don't have time... I mean... After I come home from school and do my homework, I have very important things to do, like nothing.
I'd love to debate over whether Windows 7 is worth getting, why people shouldn't go to sites with viruses, or even what kind of computer someone should get. Sorry, but not my area
Though, I do love my NEW HP HDX16t, Intel 2 Duo Core 2.2GHz 2MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB, with 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT Dedicated Graphics, with 4GB of DDR2 RAM, and a 320GB SATA Hard Drive.

Ubuntu 9.10 Beta Review
By: Vincent
-Ubuntu (Pronounced Ooh-Boon-Too) 9.10 Beta is the newest addition to the popular operating system.
-9.10 full version will be released later on in October (28th).
-9.10 contains many new themes, wallpapers and now has screensavers.
-New GNU GRUB loader, to choose your operating system at startup.
-New boot-screen and login screen, give it a refreshing vibe.
-Ubuntu is and always will be, 100% free.
-9.10 is very stable, with very few bugs for a Beta.
-Comes with Firefox 3.5, Ubuntu One (Filesharing Program) and Empathy IM client, all very easy to use, and access.
-Opening programs seems smoother and a lot faster.
-All in all, 9.10 Beta is a great operating system, and I recommend it to anyone that enjoys Ubuntu, or just wants to get away from OSX or Windows.

I know it is a little long, but Ubuntu 9.10 is a complete operating system, and I just covered the basics. I could go on and on about all of the things you can do to customize it, and programs you can download for it.
Windows 98 FTW!

EDIT: I have first dibs on Windows 7 Review!

I already did the Windows 7 one.
Although if anyone wants to interview me for 7 (even though I interviewed someone else...) I'm down with it.
Even better, I can be picky about yours.
I'll take a look at it, if I can ever get back on.

Are you saying that that's the answer to 90% of the problems in this section?
It's very likely .
Anyways, if you would like your (hopefully) charming voice on the Salcast, squabbling about the best OS or w/e, we still need 3-5 hosts!

Running in safe mode doesn't solve any problems. But yeah, i'd join. It's just i don't exactly know what i'd do. Also, i don't have a mic at this point...

It does! It's the first tool in every Sal geek's arsenal of cop-outs
Anyway I would kinda like to do this, but I can think of some potential problems:
a) I have a webcam with a mic, but it's REALLY bad quality so I'll probably have to buy a proper mic.
b) Time constraints. I will probably only have time to record on Fridays/weekends.
c) My voice. It may burst some eardrums
There's a clip of it in General Chat if you don't get what I'm talking about...But yeah, chatting about computers and showing off my geekology skills would be cool

I would join, but I don't have much time. I have a mic, so if I plan to join one day, I'll be ready lol.
I signed up i'm mostly involved in gaming.
Well, if you still want to be a 1337 host of tech stuffs, we're still hiring .
