While the sounds are funny, they make the game all-but unplayable and there is no obvious way to disable them

Look above you, friend! The end is near.

In case anyone else got sick of the sound of "RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN RAIN"
I have thrown together a resource pack to ease your suffering.

P.S. No fun was had in the making of this pack.

Are there new expected features for the 1.6.2 release? Not sure how close the 1.7 release is, but you may want to save your efforts.

Jeb just finished something of the like.

I'm sure many of you have dabbled in TF2. If you haven't, a strange weapon is one that counts kills made with the weapon. Wouldn't that be interesting to have on the weapon?

For example, the tooltip on your sword may read:
"Iron Sword

+7 Damage
21 Kills"

Just thought it would be an interesting statistic to have added to a weapon. Perhaps there would be a chance to get a strange weapon when you craft it, like a 15% chance or something. Does that interest anyone else?

THANK YOU
I don't have the shortcut or start menu icons for some reason. Turns out the only place it's at is the CP!
control panel, that is.

You can't. GeForce experience doesn't let you add applications at all; it has a list of supported games that it will work for. More are being added with every update, but Java won't ever be on it.

You can see the list here:

Well, this is garbage! Is there any way I can get the Control Panel back? Everything worked wonderfully there.

I wanted to add Java because one adds AA to Minecraft in that method: adding Java to the applications list, and then cranking the settings. Minecraft is merely the frontend for a Java applet.

I just had to start anew in Windows, and I'm trying to set up Minecraft all over again. The default downloaded tool for my GeForce driver is GeForce Experience, and there's no clear way to add an application to the mix- only games. I tried adding the Java folder to no avail.

How can I set up Java in GeForce Experience?

Hello, forum members! I was hoping to get other opinions about a hard drive failure that I've experienced.

I was up one night, same as usual, with my hard drive operating normally. No odd sounds, disk speed is perfect, etc. The morning after, I come down and my disk had stopped spinning, and doesn't work on any other computer, drive enclosure, etc. Installed another copy of Windows on a spare drive to get me going for now, but I'd like to recover some of the things on the old drive if I can. It's not worth paying for a service unless there's something on there that really is important to my schoolwork or my job, something like that.

I know the following:

• The hard drive will not spin up, before or after the hard drive was put in the freezer. (In a bag, of course.)
• The reader heads are not stuck to the magnetic disks. When applying torsion to the drive, there is no sound of dragging.
• The drive controller, when plugged in to power and data to my motherboard, gets warm, but nowhere near as hot as the boards on my operating drives. Think of it as being about the temperature of the heat put out by a power supply, where as the other two drive controllers are noticeably hot to the touch.
• The drive can't be recognized by the BIOS, the Seagate DOS tool or any kind of utility on the Windows end of the computer. There was not even a detected drive in Ubuntu.

I was hoping that I had simply fried a drive controller board, by some odd means of the imagination. Seeing as a replacement for this particular board is only $35 or so, I'm considering replacing the board, just as a long shot. Does that sound like it would be the problem to you, or is it a problem that I'm not going to be able to solve by replacing the board? What does it sound like to you guys?

In case any of you are using Windows 8 and didn't use the built-in tool to remove all the windows 7 flak, go ahead and do so.

They cut the size of the OS down by about 32GB there, give or take.

My goal is to set my computer to operate as the host of an ad-hoc WEP network, for devices that need the wireless and cannot operate on WPA. The issue is that no matter how I try, I can't seem to create a network that has either no encryption at all or a separate encryption- is this possible?

An alternative option is that I could run to Goodwill- they often have routers/APs for cheap- could I use this to set up the network I want, since it can be linked to the main router via Ethernet?

Sorry if seems silly or it's explained poorly, I can try to re-phrase it if you're just sitting there, confused.

For reasons I won't explain, I'm trying to install Windows XP alongside Windows 8. After getting my XP CD out of the closet and dusting it off, I tried to install it, and then, gloriously enough, there were STOP codes.

After ten minutes of googling the problem, I determined the root of the issue: I'm using AHCI as my SATA mode (if that is the right term), and I'd need to switch it to IDE to install XP- else, it can't find any install disks, and throws a panic.

My question is this: is it safe to keep switching between the AHCI and IDE modes when I need to switch operating systems, or would this cause issues with the drives themselves?

My setup currently consists of one large drive for Windows 8, one drive split between my pre-partitioned space for Windows XP and my web development things, and another drive for Steam games, and such.

EDIT: the reason I'm asking is because I can't use one mode for both- Windows 8 refuses to boot when IDE is the mode, obviously, and Windows XP won't install without having the computer in IDE mode. The only way I can see this working is to switch the mode whenever I need to do work on a different OS. As a sidenote, emulating XP is out of the question for the type of work I need to be doing- the software bugs out because of a lot of differences in the registry from a legitimately-run OS.

As a note in the future, you might want to take a look at Hiren's Boot CD. It's a handy tool to keep around for boot emergencies such as this.

From inside the computer, chkdsk e: /i /f shows 16 bad sectors.
From outside, the same command comes up clean.

I have no doubt something'll come up, it's just odd to see it actually appearing normal for now.

I don't think they're fixable, either. I just thought it curious how switching from one type of connection to another 'solved' the problem. It begs the question if they were broken in the first place.
