  1. Yeah, an admin needs to do it though. I'll put you on the list.
  2. I switched from firefox to chrome during the period of time where firefox had a memory leak associated with flash. I always have an idle game running in the background somwewhere, so long term flash use was pretty much requisite. Since switching, i haven't had much reason to switch back.
  3. Here you go, a bunch of benchmarks. The first half is just about how much better IE10 is than IE9. After that it goes on to the actually interesting things. Looks like the verdict is that IE10 is better than Opera, but not much else. http://www.7tutorials.com/browser-wars-internet-explorer-10-relevant-browser
  4. One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can't cope with. There is no problem with changing the course of history—the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end. ~Douglas Adams
  5. IE 10 isn't actually bad. The only place that it lags considerably behind other browsers is in its handling of HTML5, which is atrocious. The problem is that for heavy, long term internet users, IE isn't worth the risk. 7-9 were shit-terrible and almost unusable, and before that, versions were always hit or miss. Firefox may not have the highest benchmarks, but it never has the lowest benchmarks. Google Chrome tends to have the best benchmarks.
  6. Applied Energistics is way cooler. It makes sorting things almost completely unnecessary.
  7. I gave advice. I'm not going to teach people how to use the entire mods, when accurate wiki's are available.
  8. remember, redstone engines are incredibly weak. Stick some stirling engines and check again.
  9. None of the mods or admins have ever made a wiki. There has never been a truly official wiki. This is because the individual wiki's of the individual mods are almost always more accurate and up to date. I'd suggest using those wiki's. The galacticraft wiki is incomplete, but most of the wiki's are up to date and very accurate.
  10. Learn to code, get permission from xenophobe, and update EE2 yourself. Then make a modpack of your own containing it.
  11. nope. Big Dig has EE3, EE2 is abandoned now. there probably isn't even a version of EE2 for that version of minecraft.
  12. seriously. U.S. medicine is fucked up. True story, I'm the one who handled both of these claims (i work at a company that checks the work of doctors in the field, to make sure things are being done properly). Patient A is a 17 year old girl with macro-mastasia, a legitimate medical condition that causes abnormally large breast growth. She's been on sports teams since she was 12, and was attempting to get a soccer scholarship. Because the macromastasia was impacting her daily functions to a significant degree, her parents requested a breast reduction surgery for her. They were declined based on the fact that the insurance company considered breast reduction "cosmetic", regardless of any other circumstances. Patient B is a 16 year old boy who took a joy ride, crashed a car, and lost a testicle. His parents requested a "prosthetic testicle", which is not a functional replacement in any way other than appearances. His claim was APPROVED, despite the procedure being clearly cosmetic, because one of the insurance companies policies stated that if a body part was lost, the claimant was eligible for a prosthetic.
  13. You can't get decent care though. Having been dirt poor in the U.S. for most of my life, i can tell you that what you get is emergency care. That's it. and it doesn't come cheap either, emergency room bills are astoundingly high. Theres a balance that needs to be struck between affordability and quality, but the way the U.S. has been handling it is pretty gross. Doctors and surgeons get to ridiculously overcharge, insurance companies have been allowed to include bullshit ways to invalidate your claim, the whole thing is pretty mucky unless you're pretty well off. gods help you if you need dental work done. Chipped tooth? Extract it. Cavity? Extract it. Pain with unknown cause? Extract it.

    Problem

    Actually, if you take a look around, we LOVE watching trainwrecks. We have a special place that we put the good ones. Yours was only mediocre. You should try harder next time.
  15. Actually, i can pretty much guarantee that your problem was the school firewall. Hint: You're remarkably stupid.
  16. Yeah, probably not a bug. Probably just something cropping up at the last minute to push release back.
  17. just a philosophical incompatibility. Luckily, the average user doesn't need to sort those ones out.
  18. The timer on the site is as accurate as it can be. delays are pretty much inevitable when you're trying to release something asap.
  19. That isn't ideal for everyone. Keeping those settings and logs around is preferential. If they're bothering you, there's nothing stopping you from deleting them yourself.
  20. Very nice work with the architecture in the mine. This is one of the best Moria's i've seen in minecraft.
  21. The more important question is why nobody has taken over and updated the original Equivalent Exchange. I miss having huge arrays of aggregators.
  22. consider the following: U.S. government has set itself up in such a way that a vocal minority is capable of consistently outperforming it's opponent majority. In this way, we have granted ourselves the ability to work very hard all the time, and yet never accomplish anything. At least backward motion would teach us a damn lesson now and then. But we don't even get that. It's all "business as usual" every election cycle.
  23. Fun fact: the vast majority of needling and sarcasm are is directed at people who failed to read one of three things. The rules, the stickied threads, or the section descriptions. Oh and also, people who come in and try to tell us how to run our own forum. Can't forget them.
