/profile/adam instead of profile.php?user=adam"
Have a directory in your htdocs called /profile/adam and in that place a
default document redirecting. Still no need for mod_rewrite. Unless of
course you want the url to remain in the addressbar, but personally I
don't think that is as important as what the user has to type in initially.
Never thought I'd have to find a way to explain the benefits of url
re-writing.

Let's say we've got 2.5 million users :: weight up 2.5 million files vs
1 rewrite rule
map:
/rental/property/23425
to:
/index.php?mod=property§ion=rentals&propertyid=23425
SEO :: not even going in to this one
finally, do you honestly not use mod_rewrite in anything you've made?
