  1. 17 times. I do believe that's a new record for accidental double posts.

    Still an order of magnitude behind the intentional multi-post record (currently held by one of those black magic rapist scammers).

     

     

    Yay for that little question block on the signup page. Before they added that I was spending hours a day clearing out spammers (not helped by the slow load times and constant forum crashes).

  2. You're a mean one Leth. You know minecraft modders are dramavores. You would have them starve?

    True the forum conditions here are pretty severe and the lands are hard working due to the software issues. But a keen farmer can still pull a nourishing crop from the fertile soil.

  3. Check the physical card for the full model number, or check your catalyst control center for the hardware specs to get the memory and clock speed. The first 2 numbers denote family and memory (roughly), which tells me your 6800 has a gig of ram just like my 5700. The trailing 2 gives the relative clock speed, which in my case would be 70 (HD 5770) due to my clock speed being 850MHZ.

    Checking the performance you could play it a little better than me.

     

    But yeah, a card upgrade is a better idea than crossfire. If only due to the need for another 250W of full load capacity from your power supply.

  4. From what I've seen, yes it is. They even took the time to add an estimate to the graphics settings to show how much ram your video card needs to store the settings you have selected.

    I think they feared what an even slightly botched PC rollout would do to them after the year+ delay, and went the extra couple miles to make sure it was worth it.

  5. Not entirely disappearing. Can't play when the shorty and squeaker are awake (my daughters).

     

    That said, damnitIwannabeplayingrightnow! I can pull unwavering 30FPS on low settings with DX11 in 1280x720 windowed on my 6 year radeon hd 5700. If I drop it to DX10 it frees just enough memory to do 1920x1080 full screen  low settings according to the settings dialog.

    Looking at getting an R7 260x or R9 270x to replace my video card. Both should be in my Watt budget and are 2gig cards.

    Wish I had the cash to do a real gaming rig, with an fx-8350, R9 290x, 16gig of ram, and a 256gig or bigger SSD.

  6. Oh yeah, there it is. I haven't had someone tell me I'm horrible at this because I didn't do as they demanded for weeks.

    I thought I was losing my touch...

     

     

    Aww melfice, you gave it away...

    But yeah. No copyright notice, no trademark notice, 100% sure they haven't looked at even wikipedia for the relevant laws and due diligence, let alone registered. And frankly <something>Craft is so completely overused for minecraft related projects I'm pretty sure Crazy Craft is ineligible for protections for being too generic.

    As for entrapment, no but there is a different problem. Specifically, if they don't display the trademark notice and don't take prompt action to protect their trademark then they lose that protection. It's why you always see the [TM] and (C) tags on everything, it's an arse covering measure. Also why fan projects get shut down all the time. The trademark owner MUST protect their trademark. So as cool as a project may be they NEED permission, and giving permission can weaken their stance if a commercial entity decides to get in on the action. It's just easier and cheaper for a corporation to be a dick than to deal with giving out permissions and risk losing protections if it gets too common.

  7. I honestly don't know who my superior is. No one here has played me in any FPS.

    Though if we're talking old school ones like tribes or quake2, I'm pretty sure I'm superior to all these muddafukkas.

     

    I'm a volunteer mod, not a secretary. If you wanted to contact the admins of this place you would have found the name yourself and contacted him via something other than a public forum post.

    So again. If you want to play the part of big boy businessman, then you have to actually be a big boy businessman. And that means doing your own research and figuring out just how weak your implied threats of legal action really are.

    Here's a hint: Your website betrays just how little you've done to legally protect yourself. Even amateur fanfiction blogs do a better job of ass-covering than the voidswrath website.

     

    And no, I'm not trying to start an argument. I tried to help with my first two replies, and switched to ridicule when you kept going with the big boy businessman facade.

  8. If you're going to imply you plan on taking the technic staff to court if they don't obey then you really do need to "talk in that manner". For all I know your "escalation" is a threat of stalking and physical violence.

    So best advice I can give right now is just stop with the "escalation" talk. It's painfully obvious you have no clue about the legal complexities (or even the basics) of the situation and are just using it as a way to scare prompt compliance out of the admins.

  9. If it wasn't a concern, you wouldn't have brought it up.

    And while I can't be arsed to check, I assume your launcher serves banner ads and what's why you equate game runs with ad impressions? Not so with technic. Modpack specific ad impressions come from website views of the platform. And that's not even necessary. You can search and install packs directly from the launcher.

     

    Now, while I'm interesting to see what exactly you mean by "escalating" this issue, I'm feeling bored enough to just point you to the the "Report Modpack" button. Every modpack entry has it and I suggest you provide some actual relevant info in the report. Instead of this sad attempt at a professional business communication.

    If you really did some research into the laws I would expect more detailed info for your apparent claim of willful trademark infringement (you do have a registered trademark, correct?) and undue monetary enrichment. Instead you sound like an immature office employee "just saying" management bought the 3rd floor pizza but none for them.

  10. ​I see, to be honest, in terms of Minecraft, 2011 and 2012 were the best years for it especially for modding. Well, as Yogscast Duncan would put it, All good things...   

    That's only true if you focus entirely on the old "core" mods and completely ignore what else the community has produced since.

    IC2 was cool, but definitely not the ultimate pinacle of minecraft modding.

  11. ​Why would you put april's fools in the article while it's still april fool's day? ;(

    But seriously though, how would one go about sedating a giant bug?

    ​You don't know the rocky mountain states, do you?

    I guarantee you there are atleast half a dozen idiots driving their trucks towards yellowstone right now hoping to kill off an endangered species before "them idiots in washington" impose their "liberal nazi anti-american agenda" and make it illegal. They didn't even have to load their trucks either, what with it being common to leave $5000 worth of hunting rifles in their gun racks all day every day of the year.

  12. Side-channel attacks and air-gap jumping techniques never fail to amaze me.

    http://www.wired.com/2015/03/stealing-data-computers-using-heat/

    If this was in a movie I'd call it dumb Hollywood psuedo-hacking, but here it is, in the real world, working.

    ​Yeah. First you need full access to both systems, which have to be adjacent and only air-gapped (not partitioned with anything). Then you deal with a 0.00222 baud transfer rate.

    I'd be impressed if they did it by varying the CPU fan speed and reversing the piezo speaker circuitry to hack a microphone out of it.
