Neither do I. I have two stacks spread out in various places, more out of boredom than actual security or for any cold war scenario everyone seems to be picturing.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.
"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
I've been working on other things. I have nukes, but it's just in case, rather than being an end-all to be all. There's no real point to having them, just if people start flinging stuff about....
We may not even have to worry about Thaumcraft 3 being in the proper ftb... Apparently Slowpoke is thinking about it, but for now it will be in magic world, which has most of the ftb mods, except IC2, Gregtech and a few others.
I hope it goes into the proper, full version...
Also, there are noe rumors that RP2 won't be coming out for 1.4.2, but for 1.4.5 (which makes sense)
Ok, some stuff about the ftb modpacks in spoilers for those who are interested
Spoiler:
Our goal is to keep the IDs universally standardized between all of the packs.
It is unlikely that TC3 will be added to the original beta pack as we are moving away from supporting the beta releases.
Magic World is the first official pack using standardized IDs. However, compatibility is not guaranteed to be perfect with the original FTB Beta releases.
Direwolf20 will have his own pack that will be available on the launcher, as it will be an official FTB Pack, it will use standardized IDs.
There will be an ultimate pack (that is not necessarily the final name) that contains all mods using standardized IDs.
Lots of people are working very hard to make these things happen, so be patient. Good things are coming.
For those who didn't read, basically Thaumcraft 3 will be in the best version of FTB, the 'full' version. (Ultimate!)

I realy like the technical mods so i am not shocked atall that they are seperating the "fantasy" mods, if anything i am rather pleased that i can keep my server as a place where problems are solved mechanicaly because alot of the alchemy things just dont seem rewarding to me
and i am still waiting for red power to arive in FTB, the latest word is that it is coming some time this week so i just have to wait and hope it comes sooner rather than later
i think the "ultimate" pack will be highly confusing with all the mods running at once, though i would realy like them to include optifine in all of the mod packs mainly because its the kind of mod that everyone can benefit from reguardless of what they want to do
one thing i am realy hateing is steel production, it takes so many resources and such a long time that it is hardly worth doing even though i have made myself a work horse 2X2X4 steam boiler and a turbine, i realy love the look of the steam things and the way they work is a bonus. is there any easier and quicker way to make steel than the railcraft blast furnace or am i stuck taking 2 days to make a few steel blocks
i have had no problems with NEI the only problem i am having is shift clicking items into ender chests causes a crash, that was realy painful when i got myself trapped in a cave dimension ysterday, i was lucky enough that someone else was online. i am still keeping my eyes out for an update but none seem to come.
what kinda problem are you having with NEI anyway, it can probably be fixed easily
I may not be on much until monday or after as I am waiting on power to be turned on and ran out of reasons not to move my PC desk over ...currently at work.

i have came up with an idea for a base that is maybe a little over the top (ever so slightly) said base will be estimatly 128 blocks high and use almost rediculous ammounts of stone brick, grass blocks and animals. its only a vague idea at the moment.
the basic idea is a 40 diameter circle roughly suspended in a sky dimension (hopefully mushrooms) and inside the tower have a fully functional forest biome complete with wild life and a "fortress" base with all the standard IC,BC trimmings, i also want to find a way to make the whole in the bottom deadly in some way, like a laser beam but thats a bit far fetched, i also want to incorperate a beacon cluster in the core of the base to supply the entire building/structure with a full assortment of buffs, all of this held up on 4 columns going to the bottom of the world, i also have an idea for an elevator system within the base using wireless turtles as the floor but am not sure if my programming knowledge goes that far. if it helps the entire thing will be the shape of an upside down raindrop, kinda difficult to explain. but i may come up with a creative mockup of atleast the central part of it.
this is by far my most ambitious build yet since i started playing about a year ago (as far as i am concerned each build should be bigger and better than the previous) sadly before i start on this i have to wait for the FTB pack to be updated which has apparently been delayed again so i can reset the world and use the red power things, as far as i see it there is no point in keeping a world that will loose terain generation features between updates because the red power mod adds marble, volcanos and a few ores and hopefully fixes some of the weird ore spawning (deposits of over a stack of silver? and the over abundance of redstone). i have realy been waiting too long for this update
The best thing to use Tekkit for is to treat it like regular Minecraft, but with the ability to do absolutely Massive building projects using normally rare materials without taking waaay too much time.
For example, I'd be able to be already done with the Mesa expansion project, as well as having built 3 more wall rings, with each ring made of blocks of a different precious material. Crazy big, but easy to do in Tekkit.

how much emc exactly? Also, is anyone have trouble with getting the launcher to connect to minecraft.net? apparently it is up, but my technic launcher (as well as my ftb launcher and the minecraft launcher themsleves) can't connect to minecraft.net...
