Do any of them have ".jar" at the end? Also, what did you get when you extracted them?

Redownload it. Make sure you have Flash installed. Click the .Jar file to open.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Looks like a slightly crooked Fishers cube, you can probably solve it the same way. It's just a 3x3 shape mod, it shouldn't be that hard to solve.

Should I break in my V6 at all before modding it, or is it fine to just mod it straight out of the box?

You could do either, it doesn't really matter.

I'm making my own custom inserts for my magic but I don't get how you're supposed to know what numbers the tiles on the back side should be.

Is there any modification needed to connect the speedstacks v2 timer to the computer? I want to figure out which version to get before I tell my parents what I want for Christmas.

Can someone add me on skype (yuxuibbs) and teach me how to memo bld? I've been trying for months but still can't get it down. I'm using old pochmann but I can switch to another method if I have to.

Besides buying the cord thingy to connect it, no.

It doesn't come with the cord thing?

Where can I find the rest of the alg's for the skewb method here http://pages.cs.brandeis.edu/~storer/JimPuzzles/RUBIK/Skewb/SkewbSolutionACubist.pdf? I tried all kind of searching and stuff, but the "acubist" site has been transformed into a cash advance site. I really like the look of this method, and I'm more concerned with enjoying the solve than speed. The pdf that I linked is a good start, but it cuts off parts of the page and I don't know where to find the remaining algs.

Thanks in advance, you folks rock!

Well, as you can see my PB's in signature, I really could not understand the concept of looking ahead(i mean i understood, but failed to apply it to efficiency) and going slow(ii could never look at pieces), so i used to go as fast as possible, and obviously, if pieces were in front of me, i got good times, in that too there were many lockups. Now i have started to go a little slower since i m able to track pieces a little, and more than that,because i can get sub15 ao5's daily now since 3-4 days. So, should i keep going at this speed, or should i try to push myself faster and faster(which has helped me get sub15 avg in 7-8 months of cubing)? Or should I increase the TPS slowly day by day to not compromise with low pauses? , basically this thing makes me more consistent, but in my head rings the bell, if i keep turning at a constant speed, without trying to go faster, how will i improve? Wont i get stuck here? " If i turned an X solve a little faster, i might have cut 2 seconds " and all these thoughts!
Please help

This. You can try taking a giant leap in TPS instead of increasing it slowly, but you'll have a lot of pauses, which are worse than slower TPS.

Nope. You have to buy it separately (I forget exactly what type of cord it is, I'll try to find it soon).

Thanks, thats what i was thinking. I will keep drilling my LL algs daily to make my fingers a bit stronger. and otherwise, just gradual increase in tps

Yep. If you haven't used one yet, metronomes really help with controlling your TPS.

Good tutorial for 4x4? I just need a method that is not too hard too learn, but still allows for fast-ish solving.

I'm pretty sure most people use Reduction. Not sure on a tutorial; just go to the wiki and they should have links at the bottom for some tutorials.

Well, i tried them, but that just sucks(for me, not in general), i dont want to force look ahead, i will let it come slowly, I dont think i lose more than 1-2 seconds because of lookahead(i feel so, but dont know). I really cant see my times falling even temporarily for now (too impatient i am to be fast)

Is 30k differential oil as good as 50k? I want to buy off of amazon (I have $75 in store credit on my account) but 50k isn't in stock

how can you make your TPS faster?
