I'm surprisingly NOT good with technology given my otherwise mostly stereotypical nerd traits, so I have no clue whether or not my windows installation is corrupted, or what that would mean.
I'm pretty sure I don't have .NET 4, and I'm certain that .NET was the thing I was trying to download. I know I don't have it because when I try to run automap, it gives me an error message saying that I must install the .NET framework.
Which version of Windows do you have? If it is XP, Vista, or Windows 7 (any edition of these is fine), then you can run Windows Update and install everything it wants until it no longer has anything to install. This will probably take at least a few hours and several reboots if you haven't been keeping up with your updates. That should get you .NET 4.0 at some point.

The idea of using an item as currency seems kind of silly, since it ties the value of money to the quantity of a particular resource (like the gold standard did in real life). I will grant that gold is probably the superior choice of paper between those two options, though.
Also, you getting banned just because you unknowingly used the wrong currency is a really stupid reason to get a ban. Some "friend" that was.

As someone who's actually read the Communist Manifesto, I'm going to have to call ******** on this one. The Communist Manifesto would not support NDAA, because communists support the dissolution of the state. Communists also, at least theoretically, dislike war, since it is a mechanism for bourgeoisie to fight each other at the expense of the proletariat. Water fluoridation is nowhere mentioned in the manifesto. Communists don't like our system of money (also, the manifesto was written well before the financial system you criticize). The manifesto did not speak on the subject of mass media, since it didn't exist at the time of it's writing; however, it explicitly approved of anything that might help it overthrow the current order, which I assume would include media, and they certainly wouldn't persecute journalists and whistleblowers if they actually went by the manifesto. The communists would not have approved of Obamacare, as it operates through private insurance companies instead of having the collective provide healthcare. The communists said nothing on the subject of organic food, since pretty much everything was organic back in 1848; most modern communists are probably the sorts of people that would approve of organic food, as genetically modified food is a way for the bourgeosie to profit. Auschwitz was built by Nazis, who hated communists.
Why must you be so wrong on everything? Do you do this on purpose?

What sort of Bush statistics should I get? Economic (unemployment rate, deficit, etc), or social (teen pregnancy rate, number of protest movements, etc)? As for Romney and Obama, well, Romney's too much of a flip-flopper to find anything decisive on him, and he was a liberal Republican as governor, so Ann could just put anything I find against onto that, and Obama's too conservative to find a whole lot of good in.
Ron Paul is insane, but most of the things I disagree with him on are things that Coulter would enthusiastically support (ie, his statement that the founding fathers intended for the church to eclipse the government in importance).

I think the clock is more useful than the golden hoe :tongue.gif:. At least the clock theoretically has a use.
Also, I still wouldn't use gold for magic, unless it was for something like Respiration or Aqua Affinity that didn't lose durability as it was used. And the magical advantage iron has over diamond really doesn't make it worth using over diamond unless you're either short on diamonds or don't have an exp grinder, IMO.

I've gone over the wiki page repeatedly, but it just isn't very clear.
It says that the modified enchantment level is equal to the enchantment level + a random number between 0 and the enchantability of the item + 1, and then that number is multiplied by a number between 0.75 and 1.25. However, the highest possible value this equation could give is (50 (max enchant level) + 25 (gold armour) + 1) * 1.25, which would equal 95. However, the table on the page lists enchantment ranges above this (Efficiency V goes up to 111).
What am I doing wrong?

I STRONGLY disagree, 7-zip has been much nicer so far, and doesn't even bombard me with ads telling me to pay for the software :smile.gif:.
