    @Infired, "Seriously, the question sn't if it can run well on medium settings, the real question is, can it even RUN it?" NO that is NOT the question at all, I KNOW it can run it because I have another laptop that's 10 years old and it can RUN it but it gets 4 FPS.

    "Really? You may have an old 1.8GHz Computer, but this is 1GHz. THAT IS REALLY SLOW. Any lower, and it's classify as something from the 1990s." It's a 1GHz DUALCORE, that means it will process the same amount of data a 2-2.2GHz SINGLECORE CPU will.

    "But if you really want to play Minecraft with smooth FPS, go for this:
    http://www.newegg.co...N82E16834214233" I don't want another laptop, I have 12 already, I want a TABLET that can play minecraft, if you find a TABLET that can run mincraft WELL then I will probably get that instead.

    And don't say it's a "piece of crap-o-ware" without even picking-up the thing in person.


    You won't find a tablet that will run Minecraft at more than 5 FPS.

    posted a message on Which Fraps/Minecraft settings do you use for recording?
    Quote from HonestFlames

    To record 60FPS 1920x1080 would need >400MB/s of storage bandwidth, which is going to be tricky on a desktop unless you can RAID0 a couple (or four) high-capacity SSD's.

    It would also be pointless, as every online video hosting site (YouTube, Vimeo etc) limits playback to 30FPS.

    Best results come from recording at 30FPS (still 200MB/s, but I guess a lot of current generation SSD's can cope with this).

    A very good h.264 encoder is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/

    I use it with VirtualDub. I have no experience with Sony Vegas. VirtualDub is free and extremely powerful, though not easy to learn.

    Yes, x264 for the win!

    H264 (lossless) into a Matroska container. For sound, use something like lossless raw PCM. Best performance, best quality, huge file sizes.

    I love how you bash a computer that was meant to be used for work for not being able to play the latest games.

    posted a message on Adfly Link Solution
    Quote from Codename_J6

    Yeah, i saw that, but mine doesn't require you to paste a link each time, it uses a Firefox plugin to skip adfly completely.

    @nickguletskii: Ok, I'll list some reasons:

    1) You're in a hurry

    2) You dont want to deal with the ads

    3)You cant skip the ads for some reason, which is going on with all Adfly links for the time being.

    So yes, go and fill in all of your personal information on a random website, and see what happens.

    1) 5 seconds aren't going to save you.
    2) Adblock.
    3) Adblock.

    ABP? What?

    And why would you want to wait 5 seconds? The way I posted brings you directly to the download prompt, no wait at all.

    And why would I not?

    Quote from Ezmar

    I've been using the battery for 2 weeks.

    Has anyone looked at the link in my first post? That's the fix that did work the first time.

    That was foolish! Removing it is probably what caused this.

    As I explained in a thread in Discussion, it is an ad that leads to a phishing site.

    The phishing site is located at http://gb7.netai.net/adf079/

    posted a message on Adf.ly now requires you to do a survey.
    Quote from MineCrak

    Ok, I found one that is an adf.ly link that does the redirect to the exact same address as OP and with the same problem. How is this happening?

    It's one of the MCNostalgia DL links:


    Go to the following page on this site:

    MCNostalgia

    Then scroll down to Downloads:

    It's the 2nd link down under the adf.y section and has the following name:

    MCNostalgia 1.0.2 - Other

    [EDIT] OK, now I've had it not happen a couple times, it went to and stayed at a normal adfly page; then after that the web filter at work blocked it a couple of times as "suspicious advertising" then went through again to normal adfly pages. So it's happening a percentage of the time. Like one of their random advertisers is doing it.

    In any case, I personally confirm that the problem OP is describing is happening, and is happening when clicking on links on this site that show an adfly address in the bottom info bar of the browser before clicking on them. Also that the initial address in the top address bar after clicking it does also show an adfly address at first then after a short time gets redirected to the address shown in pics higher up in this thread. - Do with the info what you wish

    I think there is an ad that redirects you to this page.

    posted a message on Why you shouldn't learn python.
    Quote from Bassdoken

    I'm a little disappointed, Nick. We usually agree on Java/programming related stuff. But using bad habits now will make them hard to go suppress later on. Don't even attempt to do any lousy practices, and program like you're making a large-scale application for a big company and you'll be a great programmer with great practices.

    Don't worry, I keep my habits under control. It took me around 2 hours to get used to Unity (aka getting rid of the habit of reading window titles in the taskbar which doesn't even exist now). And it took me around 3 tries to get used to Context menu key -> R instead of right clicking and pressing "Rename". More surprising: after 2 days of not chewing pens, pencils and other plastic parts, the habit was gone. So yeah, I am good at changing my habits to suit the environment around me.

    Try leaving it to charge while nothing is running on it.

    Quote from Buck90wl

    Last time I checked Xeons are for workstations and servers, not gaming. And AMD's Llano series of APUs have good Integrated graphics compared to Intel's.

    If the CPUs were built for servers, it doesn't mean that we can't use them for something else. Easy way to make money selling hardware: slap the phrase "for gaming" into the name of the product.
