Off Topic / Re: Comcast is despicable (TL, so dont come if you plan not to DR)

This is why I install the stuff myself

Buy a modem and router and a few cables
plug them in
A few minutes of setup and you're done

no need to wait around all day for some dude to do it for you
no equipment leasing fees (which is an extra what, like 10-15/month?) for their equipment,
and you don't have to deal with the fact that

The internet equipment Comcast leases to you broadcasts a "Xfinity Wifi" wireless  network that you can't disable, that allows any random person, if they're a paying Comcast customer, to connect to and use your internet

(just saying there is probably an OS whitelist on the service)

I'm like  99% sure there's no such thing and that your router (and everything past it) has no clue what OS you're running

Don't get a laptop unless you absolutely need one (which you still haven't addressed your needs in this area) because they are far less powerful for the same price and often have cooling issues.

Whether you go laptop or desktop, any but Alienware. They're extremely high priced for something more than a brand name

did the image just increase in popularity?

It was 113 when I first posted it
It's 53 as of now

It's still 7.1 though. Maybe the rating considers number of recent visitors?

How bad is the average game on this site if 7.1/10 gets you top 100 out of 25000?

Off Topic / Re: What causes people to be on the auto-ban list?

« on: March 17, 2015, 10:48:37 PM »

Assuming you mean the forum and not in-game

It takes a lot. Most people who get banned repeatedly, Badspot lets come back in exchange for buying another key, and that's it
The only person I can think of who got IP banned was a user who bought all his IDs with a suspected stolen credit card number

So like a key with an embedded password in it?
If someone does this, make a keycard model for it, it would fit better than a normal key

Modification Help / Re: Code Organization - Categorizing Variables and Functions

« on: March 17, 2015, 10:34:11 PM »

With variables, namespaces are probably the best name to describe them. However, they're just variable names. There is no sort of "using namespace" statement that other languages have; meaning you can't having a variable named "$MyAddon::Thing::A" , declare "using namespace $MyAddon" and then just access "$Thing::A"

Functions are different though. double colons is permitted only once in a function name, and they're used for methods; you name them in the pattern ClassName::FunctionName and then you make a new script object (or some other types) $test = new ScriptObject() { class=ClassName; }; and call $test.FunctionName()

shortens the time that the script will parse the variables.

No it doesn't. It's nothing more than a name

However, there is a 'way' to create a default path for the variables, so instead of there being a $MyScript in front of every variable, it will skip over to the next category after it when the script is executed.

Was this supposed to be a question?
The answer is no, there is not

Eww, The cubs! They haven't won a world series since the early 1900's! WORST Base ball team EVER!

I know what your talking about and ask him why please

Someone at MFF said a joke that went something like "the good thing about being here in Chicago is that everyone likes cubs"

Not necessarily. I assume you've seen the mod recently released to scroll through all bricks in the same category? There could be a mod to scroll a length to a brick, I think it'd be cool at least.

the problem is you need one datablock for every brick size
