This is why I don't play Minecraft anymore. I'm always going to be just meh at it. I do not have it in me to be supergeek, and build something like this. I built one of those mob traps (a much smaller one), and it never worked like I wanted it to. Plus it took me forever and a shitload of diamond picks to make.

Gentlemen, gentlemen. Clearly from the responses some of us are not among the masses of supergeeks prevalent on this site. However, I would like to point your attention again to 2:22. It's the strawberry bit I'm getting at here. I am quite an adventurous man, and I only like adventurous women, and I have used food before; to like getting a strawberry eaten from your snatch does indeed make you a freak. End of story.

I don't know... I've been using Vista x64 Ultimate for a while now and I find it to be rock solid stable and perfectly fast on my hardware. I tried messing with Ubuntu on another partition at one point, but the 64-bit version would crash when loading the kernel so I couldn't even install it. The 32-bit version installed, but it was just so visually ugly, I couldn't get Compiz to work properly, and I absolutely hated going back to needing a command line interface for so many things despite having grown up hacking DOS to my will (sudo fuckyou! ). It's like going back 10 years when there are perfectly good modern solutions.

The problem I see with Linux is that it's very stable and secure, but you have to be a supergeek to use it so the people who know nothing about PCs(and need that security BADLY as they just love to fuck up their Windows set-ups and never know how they did it when you ask) just can't function properly. You can be far more productive on Windows than on Linux, imo. However if you're dead set on it, try the Linux Mint distro. It's based on Ubuntu(or Debian depending on how you look at it), but is far more usable right out of the box as it includes more software, codecs, and has a nicer visual look than Ubuntu (whoever told them brown is good should get a kick in the ass).

Yes, Dag, supergeeks one and all.
