Or you could just stop talking. I'm going to second what Maldroth said because it is very good advice. Preparation is important as are keeping some short notes as to what you intended to talk about. If you still cannot think of anything to talk about, don't feel that you are forced to keep...

He won't have to. If he starts removing things people have put into place without a specific rule stating that he didn't want "lag causing blocks", he'll just chase his player base off.

Personally I find nothing more annoying than having to watch someone's computer barely able to handle the program they're trying to showcase. Even a high-end computer may begin to struggle at times as shown during Season 5 of Direwolf's LP when he gets close to his base. So you may want to host...

Sounds roughly similar to my PC experiences. The main difference being early PCs used jumpers instead of DIP switches.

So essentially what I was thinking as well - style, professional applications, and a computer for those who you have little confidence in their capacity to keep a PC running.

Perhaps 'overcharged' is a better term. When I see two different laptops, with side-by-side comparisons, and one is far weaker for the same price (or far more expensive for the same specifications) then I personally consider the worse deal to be a 'rip off'. I won't deny the Retina displays...

I decided to take a quick peek at the available selection of MacBook Pro laptops. To be blunt, I think you're getting ripped off buying one of those. For $1,500 I would expect graphics from either ATI or NVIDIA but the laptop has Intel HD. I would completely ignore any concerns about...

Direwolf20's pack is still using Minecraft 1.4.7. The version of Biomes O' Plenty you tried to add requires Minecraft 1.5.2. You will need to use an older version of BoP (specifically 0.4.6 as found under the "Old Downloads" spoiler).

Though all modern OSes will take advantage of multiple cores they won't really need more than a fraction of the available power from a modern CPU. So I wouldn't even bother calculating the OS into any of those. Otherwise I agree that the quad-core is probably the better solution in terms of...

Time is the only real factor outside of perhaps a situation where you have space limitations imposed. Otherwise with infinite space you can obtain infinite materials and thus not have to be cost efficient. Thus the only situation in which GregTech will make things "harder" is when you are forced...

Unless you used multiple projectors. One for each segment of the bridge and have it set up to enable/disable them to appear like it is animated.

Though I don't think there will be much of a difference between the dual and the quad since Turbo brings them up to within 300MHz of each other. I'm more interested in whether or not Minecraft would benefit from a larger cache but don't know how you would determine that.

At this point pretty much anything is going to be an improvement on IC2. It is nice for the occasional machine that isn't available from other mods but otherwise it just isn't enough. Thermal Expansion's UI plus the features it supports without the need to build "upgrades" are simply too much...

Going off his statements about price and the fact that he is using a Mac Mini, I'd say he bought an eMachines or equivalent. I do occasional repairs for people and if his parents are anything like the average person I run into, they probably didn't clean their computer in the slightest. I can't...

It was added to BuildCraft 3.6.0 and is a legit biome. http://www.mod-buildcraft.com/2013/05/30/buildcraft-3-6-0-for-minecraft-1-5-2/

More details would be nice. Computer specifications, whether or not the same results occur with the server on another computer, etc.

Likewise I don't understand your response. Maybe to some people hunting for resources is a mentally strenuous task, but I never found it particularly difficult to go exploring for additional resources. It is a bit like driving to work every morning. Eventually you don't need to focus your mind...

The only time he uses the term "temporary" is when he is referring to recipes. Given enough time and enough delays on Eloraam's part, I don't see why this won't become more popular. I do find it amusing it unintentionally requires his Microblocks mod.

There should be an option in the config files to disable AE's power requirements.

I thought about trying to do this for the MC 1.4.7 version of the pack, only running the server locally on another computer. In the end though going to 1.5.2 seems to have completely removed any issues I was having. Not that they were overly noticeable to begin with. One note about this is I...
