Venting is cathartic and can help us all process and move on from these troubling turn of events as of late, but let's keep the wild insults down and stay classy. I'd like to be able to say that while both sides have been heated, we are able to be the bigger man (or woman).

Who makes RAM shouldn't affect how it functions with a certain processor. Of course, you want to make sure your motherboard has the correct slot for your new processor (as processors, unlike RAM, don't tend to be interchangable)

Could never get into Mushishi, dunno why.

This is probably it, the legit copies of windows are 32 or 64 bit. 62 bit sounds like you got scammed.

Schoolteacher! I was never good at answering questions

Reads thread for the first time. Checks OP's profile to see age. Expects to see a range of 5-10 years age. Discovers OP just turned legal drinking age, so can buy beer but doesn't know what shift, "." and "," are. Discovers traditional methods don't reach the OP's neuron. Finds alternative way to deliver message in way OP understands. I'm American and I speak American.

I like Metal. Thrash/Death/Black/Doom and even some folk and power. I've been fortunate to work as a metal DJ at our college's radio station, otherwise I wouldn't have been exposed to half these people (and probably would have still thought Metallica had talent). Vader, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Rotting Christ, Belphegor, Graveworm, Gorguts, Municipal Waste, Overkill, Swallow the Sun, Sun O))), Aether Realm, Amon Amarth, Entombed, Ancient, Behemoth, Watain, Austrian Death Machine, Psychostick, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Tyr, Korpiklaani (hit or miss), Draconian, Insomnium, Nightwish, Nile, Children of Bodom, Kataclysm, Goatwhore, Death, Carcass, Dream Theater (OK they're prog rock, but still damn good), Devin Townsend Project, Tryptikon, and probably more I can't think off the top of my head. I'm a name-dropping whore.

How Technic was born (a rendition told from what SimpleGuy knows, which can be far off. Because I don't think I payed attention when Kaker told me. History isn't my strong subject. Characters that seem similar to real persons are mere coincidence): CakerMix: Oh goody! Oh gee ExpensiveShot, look at all these cool mods! Oh gee whittikers! I'm going to throw them into my minecraft and make them work! ExpensiveShot: Oh boy! We should share with our SA brethren! It'll be the coolest secret for ever! You're the best CakerMix! CakerMix: I know. *posts* RedXephos/HoneyDue: Look at this on SA, let's make a video on it! *hundreds of thousands of views later* Crowd: WE DAEMAND DEH PACK! +1 :diamond: :diamond: :diamond: CakerMix: Ok, here it is. Silly Mod Makers: No, my $3.95 in ad.fly revenue! I hate Technic because now there's 100,000 people telling their 500,000 friends about my mod! And now there's 100,000 people donating me money. F*** you, CakerMix. Awesome Mod Makers: I didn't OK it initially which bothers me, but in hindsight it's OK. I wish you asked us first CakerMix.

3 (TBH it was more of an evolution process to get to the current launcher, but considering just for the current launcher I have no idea how many man-hours went into it. A lot.)

Waiting on this man who's waiting for someone to 1 up that post.

You're a little late buddy, version 1.2.5 has been out since December. Or maybe this version 1.2.5? I'm lost as to how this is relevant. Maybe I'll just google it instead...

Just craft lots of sticks that's the quickest way to have too many items on a server just starting out b/c each log gets you 16 sticks.

I simply don't like EE because, through collectors, its growth curve replaces pretty much anything else's curve that has an EMC value. EE's growth curve is exponential, while pretty much every other mechanic inherent to MC or modded to be added to MC has linear growth, which may jump at certain milestones. Thus, it cuts down on a lot of the "search for resources" time, which requires less exploration by a player (which I imagine some people are OK with). Furthermore, inherent in MC there really is no such thing as an "Equivalent" exchange, because of the immeasurable utility of each item. This brings me to my next personal distaste: EMC itself. How many Ender Pearls is a diamond really worth? Is unlocking an End Gate worth 1 diamond, ten diamonds, one hundred? Who is to judge what I value unlocking end-game content through this portal? How many torches do I need to pay to shoot an arrow? How many cow-milking sessions are worth a pickaxe? How much netherrack is a boat worth? EMC becomes a price-fixing mechanism for those things that have EMC value (problems for servers with open economies). Suddenly, things that don't have an EMC value become incredibly more valuable to a player because they're not exchangeable. No matter what goals the player had beforehand, it feels (to me) like a cheap reason to go out searching for that particular resource, and it makes me feel like an asshole for hoarding it since I can't make it at will. I'm not going to pretend EE isn't unfixable. It's just one of few mods with no negative feedback mechanisms that hinder growth. Mods like IC2, Thaumcraft 2, Buildcraft utilize MC's basic negative feedback mechanism in that they will deplete your resources as you progress (whether iron, vis, copper, tin, diamonds, etc) while EE instead produces as you progress. Granted, IC2 has solar panels which generate electricity (and thus UU Matter) from nothing. However, UU Matter is an end-game item attained and is extremely limited in what it can produce. EMC is used right from the start and is very broad in what it can produce.

You have to fill out an application to the Secret Society of EE & Low Med High Solar Panels Server Operators, or SSEELMHSPSO Organization. Be sure to include me as a reference.

I use CUDA/C++ for research, haven't looked into the wrappers for Java. There's not much massively parallelizable code in Minecraft I can think of off the top of my head, and memory management becomes a new nightmare to the point where you're either going to give up trying to make it work for those subset of people that happen to have CUDA, those that have compute capabilities you want to program the hardware for (aka which architectures), and then you have to deal with memcpying everything to/from the GPU and/or using pageable memory (which presents its own special sets of issues), or somehow actually make it work all for just a speedup gain of very little and very little relief of your CPU. Don't get me wrong, I love CUDA. But it's best used when you can have the GPU run massively parallel by itself with very little Host<->Device memory copies and have your CPU do other things before your GPU finishes. If you're running a specialized server setup I guess you could possibly re-write the source code to be more massively parallel, but that's mere speculation on my part and I don't imagine it going over very well, for many reasons. CUDA is really best at performing mathematical transformations on huge amounts of data simultaneously (and I mean like millions of elements) in however many dimensions you want your data to be (beyond 3D you have to take the time to derive relationships on your own). Also I haven't looked into CUDA's object-orientation handling as I can imagine that would both slow it down and eat up lots of time transporting large amounts of unneeded data to/from your GPU. CPUs and GPUs are very different machines in the way they do things. The fact that MC is in Java skews the favor towards the CPU massively (almost to the point of absolutely)

Will sell the devil my soul for these pictures.

Block Slab Strip is what you're looking for. Place 3 down to make a stair-like feature, any orientation. Almost any material. Note that smooth lighting doesn't work with RedPower microblocks too well.

Get better server hardware, have less people on your server.

Yes, I can estimate about how much time. Any further questions?

Please try to provide information listed in the bug report format, even though this is more of a Hamachi issue. You can just click modify on your original post and edit in the information. Thanks!

You are a product of the human race, and you made a mistake. However, you didn't own up to your mistake, so I can only read your statement as you are calling yourself a mistake of a human being with respect to the human race, which is rather harsh. I'll accept that implicit apology on behalf of our community, that has to put up with hundreds of other mistakes (or, in your harsher words, mistakes of human beings) every day, so I'm glad you're able to understand people like termhn's frustration at having to put up with them. Next time read thrice, post once and your longevity here will be long.

With a hacksaw in RedPower2, you can make any block into upside down stairs, and have been able to for a lot longer than Minecraft 1.2

I'm always fashionably late. :smug:

+1 :diamond:, supported, huehue. tekknic team get on this gosh. EDIT: Goddammit my twitchy finger acted up again. Looks like petition time is over.

Just got a phone call from the Event Horizon telescope, they want you to stop moving so they can focus the lens on you for a good picture. Although if you hang around your friends enough, you'll need to get them to stop moving too.
