The Bad News is nothing from the java version will work with any other version (they'll all C++ now)... or vice versa.
The Good News is your java version is still supported (for now).
The programming languages are completely irrelevant here.
OP: I've seen tools to convert PC version worlds to PE version worlds (which is what I believe the Windows 10 edition uses), but they're all paid, so I'm unsure of their legitimacy.
Regardless, though, if somebody felt so inclined they could certainly make a tool to convert a PC edition world into a Windows 10 edition world. They just haven't done it yet to my knowledge.
If so, I'm one of the two. I have a server with the exact same idea, a FreeNAS and Plex server scrounged from cheap parts.
My advice is to not get new parts. There might be some $100-$200 machines with older Core processors or APUs (As my A8-3820 was). Older versions of FreeNAS (I use 9.2), and as far as I know even the newer versions, are light enough on resources that with your 1TB you should not need anything remotely powerful to run it well.
Although, that's something to keep in mind. FreeNAS uses the ZFS filesystem primarily, which means it's one of the few scenarios where you actually need more RAM to run more storage effectively. (General guideline is at least 1GB for every 1TB of storage, plus a bit to run the OS itself.)
It's worth noting if you want to use ECC RAM (with ZFS), things will get a fair bit more expensive. It may not be strictly required, but I wouldn't run ZFS without ECC RAM myself.
...But we won't without knowing whether or not you have permission to modify the template yourself. If mohitnysa is right, and vanek made it, they obviously didn't give out a PSD/AI, or you would have done it yourself. Which would lead me to think it's a sample from their portfolio with placeholder text.
Meaning you need to go ask them for the PSD/AI and permission to edit it, or just ask them to edit it for you.
Hide your ip from what? who? What - DDoSers Who - DDoSers
Getting someone's ip isn't hard and nowadays getting programs to steal identities, social security numbers, tax numbers, credit cards, ect aren't hard either. There should be methods of anonymous connection that can not trace back to you.
Explanation for your first question
First, a DDoS attack is a distributed denial of service attack, so you can't really perform a DDoS from a single attack point, e.g. your PC.
Regarding DoS attacks, there are a few laws on the books, but I don't think refreshing the page is going to cause any problems, even if you do it 1000/minute. According to a portion of the computer fraud and abuse act, the following is illegal:
Knowingly causing the transmission of a program, information, code, or command that causes damage or intentionally accessing a computer without authorization, and as a result of such conduct, causes damage that results in:
* Loss to one or more persons during any one-year period aggregating at least $5,000 in value.
* The modification or impairment, or potential modification or impairment, of the medical examination, diagnosis, treatment, or care of one or more individuals.
* Physical injury to any person.
* A threat to public health or safety.
* Damage affecting a government computer system
So basically you can DoS a server and not get in trouble for it unless you cause over $5,000 loss (the other stuff would be highly unlikely). The money loss in this case would be from server down time, lost sales, etc, depending on the site you attacked.
Now, as for refreshing the page as a means of performing a DoS attack - I don't think that will get you anywhere. If you want to do a DoS attack from a single entry point, you'll probably need to exceed the maximum either:
1. number of connections allowed by the service
2. the bandwidth capacity of the server/network
Since servers are usually on high bandwidth networks, with multiple peers, your home connection won't be sufficient to achieve 2. You may be able to achieve the first option by doing some script which keeps a large number of concurrent, extremely rate-limited, connections to the service you are trying to DoS.
For example, if they are using apache, and have a server limit of 256, you can write a script to open and keep 300 live connections to port 80 (wget, curl, apache benchmark, etc.) and apache won't be able to open additional connections, meaning others can't connect.
Okay, so since you cited something from that Wikipedia article, let me also cite something from it:
Eliminated the requirement that the defendant’s action must result in a loss exceeding $5,000 and created a felony offense where the damage affects ten or more computers, closing a gap in the law;
The $5,000 part is completely incorrect, as you'll see if you search the article you linked to yourself.
You know what? I could certainly obtain your IP address simply by embedding a 1x1 transparent GIF in this image hosted on a server controlled by me. However, I couldn't get it through Minecraft. Could you provide an actual hypothetical situation where a "hacker" could get your IP after you told them you've recorded them in Minecraft?
Secondly, someone cheating on a Minecraft server is not going to DDoS you. Do you really, truly find it likely that someone doing something as simple as cheating on a Minecraft server is going to have a botnet large enough to DDoS you?
The truth about DDoS is that it IS LEGAL unless they do up to $5000 worth of damage. So you could get ddosed and it is more than likely that the DDoSer will get off scott-free.
Got some kind of citation for that? I've had a quick look, and I can't find anything confirming that.
I suggest add-on mod for LiteLoader that hides your ip. There really isn't a need to change it so hiding it would be very useful. I am close to clueless on mod making and even more so on ddosing.
Hiding your IP from what? From who? If you "hide" it from the server, you're not even going to be able to connect to it. If you mean from other players, can you show something saying other players can get your IP address from you playing on a server?
I don't know what to tell you... they look virtually identical to me. That is to say they both look over-compressed.
Could you screenshot any particular scenes where you think one looks significantly worse than the other?
Encode using the MainConcept AVC/AAC codec, set frame size width/height to match your project (1920x1080 for those videos), set the frame rate to match (60 for those videos). Tick "variable bitrate", set "Maximum (bps)" to about 15,000,000, and "Average (bps)" to about 12,000,000.
That's switching you over to using H.264 in the mp4 container, and essentially doubling your bitrate. The videos should look miles better.
The premise for a survey is anonymous research. Getting statistics from anonymous individuals, no identifying marks. This is generally the way you can tell the difference between a legitimate survey and a phishing survey, they ask for information like that. Not sure about this one though, still, I don't trust it.
While I'm personally not sure about this, I just don't trust it, let me give you some food for thought. What would you think if a survey asked for some simple information like your full name, income, street address, phone number, license number, etc? Still the same? Need I remind you that on a survey you do not know of the intent behind it, while they may disclose what they intend to do with the information, you have no way of identifying whether they're telling the truth or lying to you. A survey may appear to be harmless, but even from your full name and street address, maybe add your phone number in, they can do a lot of malevolent things with that information. Cold-call you endlessly, send spam mail to your street address, perhaps even use the information to try to guess or find other information, everything is linked nowadays. Type your name and mobile phone number into Google, and they can easily get your Facebook profile. Look at your latest status update, see that you're out with your family. Hey, they have your street address, let's go inside your house for a little look-see!
Just because it appears to be legitimate, doesn't mean it is legitimate. Paranoia is good, it introduces doubt and fear which can keep you safe. Too much paranoia is where it gets bad. Would you answer this survey if someone randomly contacted you over Facebook?
They're fair concerns, but the NSF award and people involved are actually legitimate. The NSF award number was originally incorrect, and from there I emailed the principal investigator at Maine University, which then prompted him to email Dr. Lindsey here to correct the number (as well as confirming the legitimacy).
Even with that said, the name/email address/Skype are all perfectly optional at the end of the survey:
Our researchers are interested in interviewing Minecraft players of all ages via a short 10-15 minute Skype interview. If you're interested in being interviewed, please provide your contact information below. This contact information will only be used for the purpose of contacting you for an interview.
The identifiable information could presumably easily be collected separately from the other information (I've never used SurveyMonkey, I don't know its features) in the same form in any case. Even if it isn't, it would be simple enough to automatically strip all of it without viewing it.
Even if I didn't know the former, the fact any personally identifiable information is optional (and specifically mentioned as only being to potentially invite people for interviews) would make me comfortable with completing it, yeah.
Still, I certainly agree about the skepticism! It's what prompted me out of sheer curiosity to email in the first place.
That is what I thought, but how do I get rid of the initial C:\Users\Austin?
Because it seems to always be there on cmd.
You didn't say, though. Where did you put pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win_amd64? In C:\Users\Austin, or in C:\Python34\Scripts\? If it's in C:\Users\Austin, then you're in the right place. If it's in C:\Python34\Scripts\, then:
If you didn't know how to change directories, I would really suggest brushing up on your command line stuff. It'll make things go more smoothly for you in the future.
Nevermind all of that. It's in your scripts directory, so just open up the command prompt and do:
cd C:\Python34\Scripts
Then
pip install pygame-1.9.2a0-cp35-none-win_amd64
You really ought to learn at least the most absolute basics of the command-line, though. It'll make development much easier for you.
Because I had tried adding "@cox.net" to my username one time, I can't sign in because it would just add it on there as soon as I press enter even when I turn off autocorrect. It even does it when I tell my iPad to replace that with my username. WTF is going on?!
So... what makes you think it's your machine that's the issue?
...Hold on, you're the one who said, "your eyes can only see 60, so 144 doesn't look any differant"?
Do you mean he's saying if you're playing at 60fps on a 144Hz monitor it will look different, or are you saying that humans are incapable of seeing the difference between 60 and 144fps?
For noise, I don't think you'll get quieter than rubber domes.
But personally, I would recommend MX browns. Tactile, but no actual click. You'll still have the noise of the key bottoming out though, so perhaps look into putting some o-rings on your keys (example video at the bottom of the thread) if you get an MX keyboard. It probably still won't be as quiet as rubber dome keys, but I'm not sure on that.
If you want quiet and have never used a mechanical keyboard before, you won't feel like you're missing out on rubber domes. Once you get used to a mechanical keyboard, using a rubber dome keyboard will drive you mad.
Choose wisely.
Just bear in mind these are MX blues, which are clicky.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you'll find textures are stored in VRAM as well.
Unless Minecraft is absolutely ridiculous and stores textures in system RAM for some reason.
