How does that work? I'm unfamiliar with it but I still know some spawners lying around.
is this a 3G service? How the FUCK do they get that speeds using a wireless network?
FiOS is a fiber thing. Kinda like ATT Uverse, only (UA will correct me if I'm wrong) FiOS takes the fiber all the way to your house, while uverse takes the fiber to a neighborhood node and then runs regular copper lines to houses from there.
no i mean like the phone network wireless hotspot adapters verizon sells. they don't get anywhere near normal internet speeds, so when i saw a verizon-offered internet option that fast I was surprised. I didn't know verizon offered actual internet options, like the cable company.
I didn't mean using a wireless router, I use one of those, and I actually have a wireless N that (if I had gigabit internet) can have wireless gigabit connection.

That seems extremely counterproductive of them. That means they'd have to build a convertor of electric signal to light signal, as well as a multiplexer, at a local location for the neighborhood. well I guess if they fibre'd all the way to the house they'd still have to multiplex it, just they'd be multiplexing the digital, light signal rather than multiplexing the digital electric signal, and they'd have to build a convertor at every house, because most people don't use fibre lines in their house to hook things up...
NEVERMIND THAT MAKES SENSE AND SAVES MONEY I GUESS

One of the primary advantage of running fibre all the way to the houses is that you are not limited by the max speed of the old copper cables. And you only need to upgrade the electronics on the ends of the cable to upgrade the sped instead of having to change the cables.

yeah one of the big problems that uverse was having is that they were being a little optimistic with how far away from the node people could live and still hook up their service. Basically, people who lived farther away from the node weren't getting the speeds they were promised. When I got hooked up with uverse again just a couple months ago, I talked with the tech about how far away from the node I was and if it was going to be a problem, and he said they fixed the problem by running 2 sets of copper cables to houses farther away, and also plugging in a signal booster that runs off of my electricity in the basement and sends power to the outside gateway.
Its called, find the mutated leaf block! Winner gets the satisfaction of knowing they're not colorblind.
Here's an easy one to start:
Did you see it? Well, here's Round 2:
A bit tougher, eh?
Here's a hint:
Spoiler: hint
And if you still couldn't see it, which really wouldn't surprise me:
Spoiler: at least it gave me the sapling I wanted
tl;dr: spruce and mundane larch (mundane larch are the bluish ones in the photos) are particularly evil when it comes to forestry tree breeding and after I'm done with them I may burn down their every existence with a fiery passion.
Rhinox, I saw challenge one and was all "well,that doesn't seem too hard", then I went all WTF in the others. Maybe you could use a turtle with sample, normal leaves to make things easier for you?

Well once I figured out what I was looking for it was a little easier to notice the mutated blocks. Still have to look at a couple of them cross eyed to determine if it really is a mutated block or not but I was getting pretty good at picking them out. Thankfully I think I might be done with anything needing spruce or mundane larch to breed and so far those have been the only tough ones. All the other leaf blocks mutate so clearly there is no mistaking them. Otherwise yeah I'd have to figure something out.
So far, here are the trees I've got:
Branch 1)
Mundane Larch
Bull Pine
Sequoia
Branch 2)
Silver Lime
2A)
Teak
Kapok
Myrtle Ebony
Yellow Meranti
2B)
Balsa
Desert Acatia
2C)
Hill Cherry
Common Walnut
Branch 1 is complete and is the only branch that requires mundane larch and spruce to breed. By the way a single sequoia tree gives like 4 stacks of logs.
I need sweet chestnut to complete 2C. I need Wenge and Grandidier's Baobob to finish off 2B). To finish off 2A) I need Sipiri which has to be bred only in certain biomes. Then last would be the White Willow which also has special biome requirements, and I think its the only tree in the 3rd branch although I think it can be bred a few different ways.
so, yeah only 4 more different trees to breed and I'll have bred every currently available forestry tree. I'll have pure saplings available for all the breeds. I may or may not go for any hybrids.
