There's EE, it's just the new EE which cuts out a lot of the bullshit.
What little there is of EE is still in beta for the rewrite, and most of that is completely nonfunctional. No energy condensers/collectors, no rings, no armor, no talisman of repair, no amulets, no philosopher's stone (it exists but can't be crafted). For all intent and purpose it there is no EE.
That is not a complaint, though energy condensers were quite useful for dealing with quarry runoff...

Update Java, that's what I had to do.
Also there's no EE so you'll have to rebuilt legit this time

Well if that car enabled me to get a job at McDonalds that I would not have otherwise been able to because of commute distance, then at a nominal $17,000/yr pay from that job over ten years would be $170,000 gross income. Minus the $19,000 initial investment and let's say $3,000/yr in fuel, insurance and maintenance I'd still have $121,000, versus $95,000 from stocks. (I'm not sure having my soul crushed from working ten years of minimum-wage burger flipping is worth it, though).
Of course you can't exactly sit around waiting for those stocks to ripen, can you? The moral of this story is a car isn't an investment.
Also something something opportunity costs, something something net present value....

Welp, this makes little sense. How far is the range on those anchors? I thought it was a 3x3 chunk area? Seems an awfully large area was impacted... unless this applies to dimensional anchors too?
Without counting the stuff that miraculously reappeared (which would likely be most of it given where I had everything stored prior to the goof)
4x MFSUs
4x Electrolyzers (+ 4 stacks water cells)
1x Teleporter
512x Diamond Chests
128x Energy Condensers
576x Accelerators
164x bits of Magtube
40x Energy Collector MkIIIs
1x Diamond chest full of misc. Railcraft bits.
1x Diamond Chest full of misc. IndustrualCraft bits (inc. MFSUs, spare mass fabricator)
4x diamond chests full of misc goodies (Buildcraft machines, pipes, tubes, RP2 bits etc)
Misc. damage: Stone covers, stone blocks, glass fiber wire, red allow wire, etc etc.
Materially it's not so bad since, y'know, EE is so fucking cheat-tastic that it's effectively infinite everything. It's the time that can't be replaced

Okay, that explains why the damage is so localized since I had one anchor in that area... but it doesn't really explain why there's such a disparity in the damage. One chunk is particularly old, for example.
I'll try to assess the damage more carefully.

So is there a reason why the map was rolled back by several weeks? a LOT of stuff has gone missing...

It doesn't matter how it's perceived because we have defined and can classify light by wavelength, this determining the color empirically.

Um... might be my attempts to control the flow of time. :E
I'll not do that anymore until we can confirm it.

Which brings up the question...did you already have the World of Goo soundtrack on your computer? 'Cause if your computer auto-identified-and-replaced that with no knowledge prior all by itself, that's some weird shit. Only reason I ask is 'cause I didn't have any Pulp Fiction on here before...
It's called the "internet."
Yes, by default your media player connects to the internet to try and identify what music you're playing so it can label the tracks for you. It's a brave new world...

Track names, album covers and titles are not typically stored on CDs. You may have been a victim of some bullshit auto-identify-and-label algorithm gone astray. If possible try putting the disc into some other machine that isn't running Win7 and see if it's still there... I'm guessing it won't be.

Is the error a recent thing, or something that actively harms the operation of the server?
I found this which indicates it's just some console spamming / debug code. If that's the case it probably IS my fault but it doesn't look game-breaking - just stupid and annoying.

I was building automated crafting machines as recently as this morning but I've been building those in one form or another for nearly two weeks. I can't imagine anything I've done has caused an issue but it might be worth looking into. I'll send you a PM with something to try once I do a little research...

Haha that's awesome. So is the blackout that a lot of sites are doing still necessary? lol
I say "yes" - because there is no guarantee the "shelved" bills won't manifest under a different name in the future, at a time when people aren't paying as much attention.
I'm considering adding SFGHQ to the blackout, though I don't think this site has enough traffic to really educate anyone who doesn't already know about it.

No, because PIPA's still there, and SOPA could ressurect like some sort of zombie at any moment. Not the near future, but there's always the oppourtunity for that.
Pretty much this.

So there were two problems this time.
The first was the appearance of a suspicious php file which, once decoded (after decoding the decoded code - no exaggeration) appeared to basically turn any browser into a remote console. I deleted that.
The second problem, which I didn't find before Google did, was the return of the malicious .htaccess file attempting to redirect you to sweepstakes bullshit malware site - same one as the last two times.
I've yet to find out how they get there... I combed the logs pretty thoroughly and found nothing. Does not eliminate the chance there is a security flaw in the site's, or more likely the forum's, code... but I'm more inclined to think this is a security problem with our host since we're not the only ones who've been hit.
All cleaned up for now. Done all I can.

Actually, even if this site did get black listed, you could still access it directly simply by using the IP.
Shared host, so... no.
For what it's worth, Dreamhost (the company that SFGHQ is hosted with) is against SOPA. Most online companies are against it.
SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, is what happens when people who don't use the Internet attempt to regulate it.It's a well-intentioned piece of legislation that has been written so poorly that, should the bill pass, nearly anything online could be considered 'piracy' in some form or another.
SOPA would place ANY website that houses any form of user-generated content at immediate risk of shutdown and would effectively stifle innovation among web entrepreneurs.
If someone posted a link to copyrighted material in, say, the comments of your WordPress blog about cats and their sweater choices, we would have to shut down your ENTIRE domain as soon as we received a complaint about it - whether that complaint was valid or not! There would be no pre-shutdown courtesy letter, no friendly 'please remove this from your site'. Just BOOM! The end. Obliterated. Everything gone.
What has two thumbs, 1.2 million domains, and would ultimately get stuck enforcing SOPA? You guessed it. This guy. (Imagine DreamHost pointing its thumbs to its chest here and the joke works.)
We were not fans of SOPA from the very beginning. We opposed it in November:
We also press-released about it in late December. (It was the trendy thing to do at the time... and reporters tend not to read blogs, strangely enough!)
SOPA could fundamentally change the way that American citizens would be permitted to use the Internet and the way that web hosts and registrars would need to operate to accommodate these changes.
SOPA comes up for a vote on Tuesday, January 24th. If you're in the United States and want to feel like you've done everything you can to help add your voice to the rising chorus of SOPA opposition, please make contact with your senator (not the physical kind) and let them know your thoughts!
AmericanCensorship.org is a great resource for doing just that!

You got a 50% chance of getting it right. If you get it wrong nothing will be damaged - it'll just not work. So just give it a shot.
OTOH if the USB connector is one piece you can just align the Vcc and Gnd pins and be pretty confident it's right.

I hate to break the bad news to ya, but sonicfangameshq.com no longer exists. This is all an illusion because you never cleaned out your browser cache.

There is a site that goes with this forum?
That's the banner that goes where an advert would normally go...
And just to clarify, it was an attack on the host, not SFGHQ specifically. They inserted .htaccess files which attempted to redirect browsers to their malware site.

By "Should be okay" I mean I cleared the apparent problem. Google still needs to follow through on the review I requested and remove SFGHQ from their blacklist...

This has been driving my nuts since I woke up this morning :/ Thanks to DW for the link which indicated the .htaccess file was messed with - it's the only file I couldn't check through my normal FTP client (no wonder I didn't find anything!)
Should be okay now, I think.

If all of you dislike me posting this thread year-in and year-out then there is a very simple solution: make me a fucking birthday thread.
Or we could just boot your ass out... that's actually a lot easier, we'd only have to do it once instead of every year, and there's a bunch of side benefits as well.
The squeaky wheel doesn't always get the grease - sometimes it just gets thrown out and replaced.

FYI "Redbook" audio has nothing to do with sound and has everything to do with the way the audio data is encoded and physically imprinted on the CD. By definition, any audio CD that is playable in a standard CD player is red book compatible.
It was only a big deal back in those days because it meant the game music could be played anywhere, rather than needing platform specific hardware such as a synth chipset.
So if you release tracks in any format other than 44.1kHz, 2 channel, 16-bit PCM files, it's not Red Book.

The very same shit-bucket neoconservative shill of a website you used as a source your your faux-rage says government spending not only can't create jobs, but actually destroys them.
Not to mention every time someone suggests cutting spending, particularly military spending, they whine about how many jobs might be lost... never too clear how cutting government spending can result in a loss of jobs yet increasing spending will never be able to create jobs. Maybe it would make more sense if I could wedge my head as far up my own as as you guys can...
So in conclusion...
...and go away.
