Is it bad that when I finish in the loo, and open the door, my cat instantly comes in to drink toilet water? Then my dog does after the cat is finished. Is toilet drinking normal, especially if they drink like half the water in it?

No, you should give them more water normally and punish them (water sprayer or something) when they drink from the toilet, it can end up with very bad infections, or, if you clean it properly, bleach poisoning.
Make sure their water bowls are full of cool water (try putting some ice in it) because, like we do, they prefer it when it is cold.

code? what is code i do not know

Coal fuel is definitely not a liquid, and ore dict biofuel is already in the Semifluid, those two just need converting into fluids.

Do you mean in the semi fluid gen?

How have you never noticed that?

I have, I am just ranting about how mojang should buff it ;P

Playing some vanilla 1.7.2 Haven't played vanilla in ages.

Mojang really should buff stair recipe output. currently you are turning 6m^3 of wood into 3m^3 of wood, makes no sense. No wonder I am loosing so much ;p

Besides, as a total energy amount per diamond, you get 2.5x the amount of energy you used to in lapatron form.

The light was probably a too higher voltage then the fuse could handle and so the fuse burst before every electrictal item that doesn't run on your new lightbulbs voltage exploded. At least, that is how I think electricity works ;p

Only problem is, robots don't decide things for themselves. Like what colour to be, or what hair style to have.

Hence why robots are for industrial usage and not for social usage, unless of course you programme them to determine what colour or hair style. If you really wanted to remove human emotions and stuff, fine, but moral issues and meh. Honestly I would rather you use robots.

Dang, so you'd have to mess around with the body alot to get that to work. I think I'll just stick with Greg's idea of mindless robots for an ultimate communist society.

Robots are much easier since they don't take 3 billion years of random chance to make.

Who needs to find it? What's wrong with just cutting it out and taping the DNA back together?

*refer to previous post that i was editing*
"Through engineering it would be easier but we have yet to discover which genes actually do it, and if so, it is probably a large number with mixtures and stuff. For example, dopamine controls a fair few emotions but is also incredibly important for the rest of your body too."

Quote from Chocohead

So emotions could be bred out?

I guess, Although because it is hardcoded into everyones DNA you would have to be lucky (or unlucky) as fuck to find a donar without a particular gene for emotion. Through engineering it would be easier but we have yet to discover which genes actually do it, and if so, it is probably a large number with mixtures and stuff. For example, dopamine controls a fair few emotions but is also incredibly important for the rest of your body too.

emotions AI, that would be awful.

Well its not like we learn emotions. Random mutations and natural selection had to programme it in for us

Quote from GregoriusT

But one has to say, that Communism can only work under certain circumstances and would otherwise never end well. The easiest way to achieve that is having an army of Robot Slaves doing all the work nobody is wanting to do at all, such as cleaning or maintenance. This will work as long as people don't get the Idea of "Robot-Rights".

Of course. Although, Robot rights aren't needed if you don't programme them to have an AI capable of emotions.

Which one is a more accurate picture of them?

This:

(Note, although both far sides are easily corruptable into a dictatorship, the key ideas of the left are much much better then the right)

There's a mod which could let me knock 6 digits off that

Or the vanilla ic2 config where you can just set UU's EU rate to like 100 eu -_-

Did they have their screen upside down first?

No but I think they had red horns and a flaming pitchfork

I just had someone say to me that the far left is as bad as the far right.
just
just no

Quote from CaerMaster

... is it just me, or is the metal former really, really slow? I went to make some reinforced glass last night, and saw, "OK, mixed alloy ingots need plates now and I'm apparently supposed to use a metal former for those." And so I made a metal former and ... by the time it had rolled enough plates to make two mixed alloy ingots, I was wondering why I hadn't just used a forge hammer. It looks like a good machine, but dear lord Finagle, it needs to be faster. Right now it's like watching paint dry.

There is one thing I'm curious about though. It has three operating modes — roll plates from ingots, extrude wire from ingots, cut wire from plates. Why are there two different ways of making wire with the same machine? Are there more uses of that "cutting" operation that I'm not aware of yet?

Its about as slow as a furnace for me. Also, pretty sure the cutter makes Casings somehow.

The API one is for coding, so is the dev one. Get the plain one.
