What about reloading already uploaded saves and autosaves without clearing bricks?

So it seems like I managed to make all bricks owned by Munk again. Contact me or Munk for fixing the booth permissions, and we'll have to work out a more permanent fix for this soon.

If I am correct, there are laws preventing you from working in a factory anyway, also restraunts with a bar, most likely wont hire you or cant.

This depends on where you live. For example, IIRC, over here (in Sweden) the only restriction that applies during the 16-17 period is you need to get a parent's permission.

I've said time and again that the RTB hosting service is non-profit - I've got nothing to gain from getting more users on it.

I must have missed this. The last time I read you talking about the service you said it was going to pay for the rest of RTB. Was a while ago though, so it might be sarcasm or my bad memory.

I've also said time and again that I do have plans to make as much of the RTB hosting backend technology freely available for people hosting dedicated servers themselves.

Great.

Yeah, he's done some pretty good stuff (mod manager, arguably hosting). Great. He's also reinvented some wheels that didn't really need to be reinvented (RTBC/Jabber/XMPP). Not great, but not too bad either.

That's not what annoys me about RTB.

What annoys me about RTB is the hostility displayed by both Ephialtes and others (Sunny's post is the perfect example of this) to anyone making something that might compete with some RTB functionality. Yes, I understand that there are cases where it's good to have a single of something (because of the network effect), but some parts of RTB could be improved substantially for some cases (for example, remote updating of mods on dedicated servers). That specific example also shows a certain conflict of interest, since Ephi has something to gain from that remaining RTB hosting-exclusive.

Nexus 4, CM nightly from a few days ago.

for some reason it doesn't work on my Gingerbread phone.

Added in ICS. Prior to that you need CM or similar.

Off Topic / Re: Petition: Youtube stop changing the layouts.

« on: April 17, 2013, 11:12:15 AM »

I don't believe a blanket "stop touching the site at all" is a good idea. Not that any user petition would have any effect anyway. They can do whatever they want with their site.

twitch.tv changed their layout but guess what they did?

IT'S THAT SIMPLE, GOOGLE, HOLY forget

It's simple for you to use. Depending on their setup it may or may not be simple for them to set up (and some changes will require changes to all themes, which means that each redesign like this is going to cause even bigger issues, which is what I guess is their main reason for removing their old designs).

all the new layouts are awesome
I don't see why you would want this

Not all of them are, IMO. Cosmic panda and the new one absolutely are though.

Yeah thats another loving thing, putting your name out there for anyone else to extract information out of is a severe downside to youtube.

Why didn't they mention that?

Just choose no the one time they ask.

This, even though updates don't come often, RTB really is the backbone of the modding community and in-game communication whether or not anyone else wants to admit it.

Is it? Yes.
Do people "admit" it? Yes.
Should it be? Maybe not.

It still says I'm not permitted

What's your BL_ID? I added 14388 (what's in your profile).

EDIT: It's closed that's why.
Why is it closed?

Closed means you need to be a boothholder.

could you get the teleportation event, I forgot what it's called, I need it for a small viewing room high up in the air

Personally I'm undecided about this. It could be very useful for some cases, but it also has the potential to wreak havoc.

I wonder how many troll apps you received though.

Two.

Like; what if Badspot had a topic that offered the ability of creating new boards and subboards if the idea was good enough to him and you could pay.

This would be terrible.

Only the AMD A series have integrated graphics, the rest of the AMD processors (Athlon, phenom, FX) don't have integrated graphics. As for the Intel, all of their CPUs have integrated graphics however you can still have that and a dedicated GPU, you can switch between then and then I believe that Nvidia has done something so that you can use both, meaning the intel HD can be used to give off a slight boost...I could be wrong about that last one I don't remember.

My laptop is an ASUS with some Intel i5 CPU and Nvidia Optimus (the dual-gpu thing). Each application will only use one of them; while not having to render the desktop might give a slight performance boost, the real benefit is the battery life. Also, it works pretty much fine with Linux (using Bumblebee).
