  1. Considering it's been 13 day I suspect the Box The Whale mod will land soon.
  2. So then Adblock + Noscript = umbrella + sunglasses +condom And if umbrella + sunglasses +condom = Safe Sex under an umbrella on the beach while wearing shades Adblock + Noscript = A safe and adfree porn browsing experience Then we can theorize that A safe and adfree porn browsing experience is akin to Safe Sex under an umbrella on the beach while wearing shades. Anyone care to test this theory?
  3. Just mods? You know it could happen with anything (in fact there was a rouge "downgrader" that sent the last login file to someone's server a while back). Trust no one.
  4. Re: so sick of youtube f-....arts. <3 Not so much when you are trying to figure out why windows decided &quot;You know what... i am going to run chkdsk /f (or whatever) reset ever single secuirty ID and break the computer and the the only support is &quot;Yeah, windows 7 64-bit does that sometimes, Reinstall.&quot;
  5. That actually happens to me too.
  6. Yeah not a fan of buying the same thing multiple times... Heck I even don't like when a magazine has collector covers so you have to buy 4 copies to have them all. I more like the idea, buy once play wherever. One thing I like on the Legends of Yore website was the texts &quot;If you've bought the mobile version and don't want to pay again, contact me and we'll get it sorted out&quot; that just seems more like how it should be done. The Linux thing is just like an extra bonus, It's not a huge factor. If Linux compatibility for a game is a must for someone then I hope they love arena shooters (Really... how many of those things are there?). I have tried onlive and it works nicely, too bad my ISP has a data cap and university internet had been sucking horribly lately.
  7. Re: so sick of youtube f-....arts. <3 That would make sense. They are mobile, fast (Due to lightweight mobile OSes), and connect to the internet. For most people Email and Facebook is all something needs to be their perfect computer now a days.
  8. Re: so sick of youtube f-....arts. <3 I actually briefly see the start of a biography on one channel where a Texan writer used a typewriter because &quot;Computers and the internet are tools of the devil.&quot; Also i'm not sure that is the same one. The one i saw was distributing because it lacked ANY Microsoft branding. Which seems to hint their vision was to render everything else so obsolete they no longer need to brand anything with that cutesy Windows logo. Also read that most that tech in it existed or is well on it's way and most of that the Microsoft video was saying is they will acquire the technology and vanillafy it for mass distribution. Doubt that will actually happen though. Anyway the relevance of the video, I guess, was a desktop/laptop was never shown the computer was some kind of phone, the floor, the newspaper, a Datapad (looks like a tablet but clear), the newspaper, a wall, your coffee mug (what ever did happen to Microsoft Surface), A console an airplane, etc. The closest to a Desktop was the large Holo-Console being used by the architect. I don't think I will miss everything about computers, but I do test not having a keyboard on my phone. Once gesture or voice recognition pan out it will not be so ban. Really the only thing I like about current computers is you have a lot more openness that is currently not in phones or consoles without voiding a warranty and jeopardizing your data service. Oh well, just have to wait and see.
  9. Re: so sick of youtube f-....arts. <3 Will be interesting to see how this all plays out. Also waiting to see if Microsoft vision for 2019 pans out any. We are nearing a very shaky ground right now in this topic. Going to miss the computer if it dies out. Consoles and Phones are on a trend of being more restrictive in what you can do. However like some article have stated, 80% or so of what the average person does is becoming independent of what platform they use, so long as that platform can access the web. Also I suppose while computer are more upgradable that people will still want to use or develop for consoles/phones as they have, as state, a homogenous environment, and provide smoother experiences, it is the same reason people find macs more stable and reliable, they have a limited hardware spectrum and those only a few drivers have to be coded and most every configuration can be tested.
  10. Re: so sick of youtube f-....arts. <3 Twas an exaggeration, someonr did think imogen heap stole from jason derulo though.
  11. Yeah like i said i'm not a wiz. Didn't know if you could at least send lastlogin file data to a server to sell/give away that or some such. Just sad any of what i said is possible in the first place.
  12. I mean problems as in &quot;Things to get upset about&quot;. They are not worth the butthurt they are causing though.
  13. Yeah, I mean the current one seems harmless enough but it shows a disturbing new possibility. My fear is something along the line of this: &quot;I am a mod maker. I made a mod, Jay? made a mod like mine. I HATE Jay? for that. I decide that anyone who uses his mod must be punished. I have the program send me their info so i can blacklist them and sell the account to greifers. I also decide they do not deserve their saves or minecraft so i execute code (if possible, i am not a java wiz) to FUBAR all their saves and even minecraft itself.&quot; All it would take is one nutjob to feel such a measure is justified. I am trying to use Forestry to see how it is useful... some of the stuff from &quot;Tekkit with Duncan&quot; looked quite nice.
  14. His problem was he took the video as &quot;LOOK AT THIS AWESOME MODPACK BY KAKERMIX&quot; not &quot;LOOK AT THIS AWESOME MODPACK BY KAKERMIX THAT FEATURES AWESOME MODS BY MANY AWESOME MODDERS.&quot; (capslocks cause I imagine the FU would be shouted) I wish that if modders claim they asked for the mod to be removed and it wasn't they would post a snapshot of the email and any reply. If they proved kaker said &quot;Nu uh.&quot; when asked to remove a mod I would actually side with them and say &quot;Kaker don't be an ass a remove the mod.&quot; So far the ONLY problems I see with Technic are it lacks some permissions and MIGHT have not removed mods requesting removal. Neither of those are a reason to get panties and manties bunched up. If would be worse if the pack actually made money or the pack says &quot;EVERYTHING MADE BY KAKERMIX&quot;. Oh well... some people just like drama.
  15. Ahh... must have blend that with the one above it, I do that sometimes. I see now problem with that, I will join once the planets align and the reg system gives me a key.
  16. Re: so sick of youtube f-....arts. <3 They rage because this is the internet. I have wanted to triboot but I don't have a mac and Hackintosh just doesn't seem to cut it on my computer,
  17. It has the most impressive registration system ever. It beats that Random Number generator that made you solve a complex math equation to use (hint: you just needed to use wolfram alpha). You will need a lot of time just to get a key to get on it.
  18. Re: so sick of youtube f-....arts. <3 Good to know. Fucker be reaching into the future and stealing Dre's beats (no not the headphones). I don't want to get in a fight okay. The reason WINE (and it's payed derivatives) exist is because Windows has the biggest market share and uses proprietary code. Most programs are made for Windows only (like games) and their is just no FOSS replacement for some (photoshop, MS Office's higher end functions). Also there is Cygwin, it emulates linux in windows. Also andlinux (no i did not forget a space, that is the name) and colinux which let you run linux in windows (32bit windows at least). I do agree some are insecure and do make shitty attack videos, but windows users are not completely innocent. Fanatical windows users will find linux videos and say &quot;Linux is fucking shit you stupid geeks. Aero kicks Compiz ass&quot;. so it is not just Linux users attacking windows for e-peen points. In the end here is my motto: &quot;Use what ever you want and STFU about it.&quot; Vi or Emac, 360 or PS3, AMCO or Technic, just STFU and be happy. If I want to use X then let me, Y has it's own sites, I will hang with other Xer and you can hang with other Yer and we can all be happy. At least that is how I see it, Note: I will occasionally make fun of windows, not because I hate it but because I find it fun.
  19. Re: so sick of youtube fags As Cheapshot said this is a stupid topic and arguments on youtube are dumb. I mean youtube is a place where people will say Buch is a &quot;F__King theft.&quot; because they first heard a part of one of his symphonies in a Dr. Dre song. Every thing you like on the internet has a stereo type. I should know, I have a ton of them against me on the web. Also misinformation on OSes is nothing new. Here is the Internet's guide to OSes: Linux = Basement nerd elitist Windows = Idiotic conformist Mac = Artistic A-Hole Just don't read comment on anything you don't want torn to pieces. Youtube, Digg, and Slashdot are all prone to the OS holy wars in the comments. Also Fucking people up makes Linux users look like elitist a-holes and that f-word in the topic title is offense to homosexuals on youtube.
  20. Was it a bug or the fact keys expire 3 hours after sending?
  21. I tried playing their insidious registration system... I can't get in though. Mind telling me the email so i can make sure gmail doesn't go &quot;oh hey spam&quot; and tosses it?
  22. Never meant all of them failed to, but the bigger one with their older executives seem to not get that DRM drives people away. I have a copy of Bioshock 2 with that stupid &quot;Games for Windows Live&quot; (don't get me started on that, no idea it was so hard to find games that ran on windows.[/sarcasm]) DRM on it that shuts it off when i lose internet and my wifi driver likes to crap out randomly... so fun times playing my legally bot game that will tell me i have 5 minutes or something to save before it boots me off. So I can see the benefit of the pirate version (offline mode for SP, no having it constantly phone home in case I suddenly pirate the game 45 minutes into playing it). The lack of DRM is one thing i like to have in a game i buy (Linux support, if possible, I the other major one).
  23. That sounds exactly like the program x for Linux catch 22 (we will not release X till condition Z is met, Z will not be met till X is released). That was the first thing I though when i heard rumors games were going up to $80 USD to combat loss from piracy (which make more people pirate it as they don't had 80, which leads to them them &quot;losing&quot; 80 instead of 60 for every pirate). Funny how businesses don't seem to get that. (also love the jabberwaky bit)
  24. I know how you feel. I was trying to make a fun little map when I found technic and decided I wanted to attempt 2 version of it, one for vanilla then and extended version for technic. But I hate making stuff exclusive to only one group of people. Kinda feel bad saying &quot;Want a more sciencey version of this map with computers and stuff moving through pipes and stuff? Get technic. Hate technic? Install these mods using these config file changes.&quot; Just feel like a big FU to me. Just feel unless it is super hard or impossible to make it open to all there is no real need for exclusive content (If that maps, say, could not be ported to the PC because they used some bizarre function in the xbox version that can not be ported to the PC then I wouldn't mind personally).
