the download speed looks fast but as you say it must not be...

I'm prescribed a 60Mbps DL speed at a 20:1 contention. Yours is averaging a 10:1. If you or anyone else has a contention 20:1 or higher, you'll know why 60 isn't good enough in the UK. But hey, that's just Virgin Media. If I convinced parents to go Sky Fibre, we could get a 4:1 contention. At least your ISP doesn't charge ~$50 for only decent download speeds.

This isn't my max potential download, but it's good enough considering a 7GB download completed about an hour ago...

I think I'll stick with HWMonitor. Especially as ASUS AI Suite was reporting CPU temperatures of -1*C and COU VCORE Voltages of more than 3 times their normal value. Something that wasn't reflected in computer performance, visual inspection for ice, or HWMonitor read outs.

We've ditched the W20 engine design. We discovered the fault was with the linkage between the dual gearbox design, and a single gearbox exploaded even faster. Too many angles for the mechanics to handle. Anyway, we're now experimenting with a hybrid ramjet fusion technology. It's slow progress but so far nobody has exploded too hard...

On a more serious note though, what are the main mechanical aspects of a second hand car to investigate before committing to a purchase? I know things like Service History, rust, dents, leaks etc etc, but anything else? (ignoring the obvious clutch bite, engine note, cam belt, gear box, steering rack, ignition coil, water block / pump...)

I usually use the software that the manufacturer provides.

PrecisionX, Afterburner, etc.

 

But CpuZ and GpuZ work perfect and give you some extra stats aswell.

CPU-Z and GPU-Z are good for individual parts.

I use HWMonitor for temps as it gives a display of everything it can in a single window. So you get package temps, core temps, fan speeds, voltage drops, max and min values as well as the current value...

This is an interesting time. A friend of mine set up a realms server for me and some IRL friends to play on. It's equivalent (at the moment) of running a vanilla minecraft classic server in the level of control it gives the owner. All they can do is change a persons game mode, and add people to their whitelist. Oh, and you get /whisper. That's it. I've also messed around with a voltz server, but the transition from version 2.x to 3.x removed a lot of stuff, and we didn't have much time to perfect it (we were trying to do a UHC style game in Voltz, but it was such a headache to set up with appropriate plugins to block certain features). The Mojang EULA is complete crap, as the service they offer cannot compete, on level of control, performance, stability or value for money. As a simple tool, it's fine. But it's nothing more, like the rest of the MC community is.

That being said, there are still options. I'm happy to start contributing more again, now that I'm finished at college for the summer, and can try help with testing new things etc as needed. We need a new angle on MC for sure, and we need to build some new pathways for expansion, either as a fun community or a more public one.

Screenshot from my phone kind of says it all...

Perhaps instead of fixed reward dates, consider reward streaks? Like, after 7 days of voting, you get a multiplier to your rewards etc.

Personally, I think this idea needs more grounding and encapsulation before it can be truly considered. You say you would be able to pick any mob class, and have special abilities. What sort of abilities? More importantly, you say it's a PVP game, but how? is it in teams, free-for-all, is there a central objective like capture the flag? Equally, would the mob classes be based on the real mobs? So skeleton's have bows, spiders can climb sheer faces and 'leap' at people, creepers are silent, zombies are a bit tougher than most, blaze can fly but are kinda slow etc?

Actually 'Fatality' was the first name wich was started on the 16th of March 2011, on the 25th of april it was renamed to CU and on the 26th the website/forums went online under leadership off Killerteddy (MC name: soloelmejor), Spencer and CireEric.

 

Im probably the only one who has played on all the variations of CU untill this day ND. Very sad to have seen a community fall apart like that due some bad decissions of most former CU staff. 

I was around from mid May that year, so unfortunately missed the conception, but still remember the first world I played on. (It was a mess btw)

mhm. I like your thinking sir Nik of the Fection realm. But I must ask one, simple question. When are we going to have a huge massive anniversary party thing and invite all beloved members, gone but not forgotten, for a proper farely-well gathering? I'm sure you know the people I'm thinking about...

Before I start blubbing everywhere, I'd just like to say that I'm not leaving, but rather writing a homage to a truly great man.

This man, was a true inspiration to the community. He picked up the pieces nearly 2 years ago, and dragged this community kicking a screaming back to the front page of success. Sure, some people just don't give a damn, but this man, this true shining beacon of benevolence, has shown what can be done with sheer determination and unwavering effort.

There were times when he stood alone, and there were times when he had support from everyone. Regardless, he always had time to spare, even when he didn't. He knows what I mean, especially when he stayed up all night just to run backups of things and assure people about new features.

This person's true character was shown throughout the past year, through all the issues had. Most of there were never mentioned, and the majority of the ones that were announced, only so much information was released. During this time, two other people had become incredibly important as well. Nik and Nuke, the comedy double act, were crucial to keeping this wonderful man sane, and more importantly, helping him deal with the aforementioned problems. Without those two to back him up, none of us would be here today.

I'm sure you know who I'm talking about by now. If you don't, then I'm afraid I won't be telling you, as we shall leave him in peace, to relax, rewind, and re-gain the composure and compassion he demonstrated so expertly these past few years. Some of you will remember him before his hayday, and some of you will only know him from his time as "the boss".

What's important to remember is that he kept the community alive, he brought it back from the brink, and it is in his name I continue, as do many others, to strive for a better tomorrow, in his image, envisioning his ideals, and forever remembering that, only by dedicating ourselves to something, to the point where our lives become inter-twined with it so inexorably that you cannot let it die, can we truly succeed in our endeavours.

So long friend. We'll always remember your name, your face, your passion. Have a beer on us, and we'll see you sooner than you think.

Falk, out.

That's a pretty good deal. 

Better place to ask next time is via PM or if you guys have a staff section?

I'm well aware of those options. I assumed this was in a different section though. And I am not unduly worried if no-one responds to me or removes the post. I am simply registering my wish to receive some information. What people do with regard to the request is entirely their own decision. For instance, you called me out on it to say that perhaps it's in the wrong place. I say that it's perfectly positioned to be noticed by whomever wants to see it. No-one can object to my querying these things. They can however refuse to share the information, either through a private channel or a public one.

I know it's probably not my place to ask, but would anyone be willing to share info of the old / new host? Just like a name and location for reference purposes.

I think it's just the torque setup. I'll have to tweak the engine for a bit more speed rather than acceleration.

In what way is aluminium or fibreglass better than titanium?

I have a car planned with a potential engine design of a w20 engine and 4 turbo chargers. Is this feasible? Can you recommend a suitable material for the chassis and driveshaft? We've tried carbonised Steel, carbon fibre and titanium, and they've all exploded from the torque.

I get 403'd on that image

Fixed a few grammatical errors. No spelling changed.

You're all getting het up about the GT-R. And it's a very nice piece of engineering, there's no denying. But let's be honest. It just doesn't compare to the Nissan Micra... Less than £10,000 , up to 4 cylinders, 0-60 in less than 10 seconds if not too much weight. I think it's a serious contender to the GT-R, especially for thrill factor...

Nuclear District, The Super Happy Fun-Time Mini-Game Minecraft Land.

And you can use that if you want.

I am a Avast fan. I know this will probably sound weird, but I had Norton at first, my computer was very slow when I downloaded it, I messed with the settings ran scans literally everyday; just trying to keep my laptop in good shape, but then it happen.... My computer started wigging out and I didn't know what to do, people say Norton messes up ever once and awhile, so I didn't worry that much about it. Well then my computer would start closing programs randomly. So I looked up to see if I could get a free anti-virus, found Malwarebytes and Avast, I ran them both, I had 7 roots, 9 spies, and PHP files that were all in steam. 

 

After running it, my computer was faster, I didn't lag on games anymore and I feel like I am protected.

My top three worst antivirus solutions are, in ascending order:

3rd - McAffee

2nd - Norton

1st - Windows Defender in Vista.

The reason Vista is the top entry is because it once ran a scan, decided the entirety of System32 was an incredibly dangerous virus, and must be deleted. I said it could quarantine, because I figured it had found a virus within System32 and wasn't telling me the path, but after about 10 seconds of quarantining beginning, my laptop BlueScreened, rebooted, BlueScreened again, then restored System32.

I updated the laptop to Win7 after 48 hours, with MSE on it. (FYI, that broke after a while and so I got Avast!).

Tell me when bugs are fixed then i will download

They won't be. There's a note in the game files that says they're classing it as abandonware and are moving on to bigger and better things.
