But really, why is their and there, your and you're so difficult? I know the difference between their, they're, and there, as well as your and you're, and it really annoys me when other people use the wrong one. That said, sometimes my fingers just type the wrong one, or my phone autocorrects to a different one and I don't catch it, etc. Point is, everybody makes mistakes from time to time, so I try not to be critical about the occasional, lone mistake.

My son and I have been itching to play this since they stopped terraria development
Maybe you can arrange another 4-pack in this thread. (c: And did you know that Redigit has been working on an update for Terraria? I think it's expected to release in June. I hadn't heard that, is it to bring it in line with the console or unique content? Maybe a little of both? The console port was not done by Redigit, so I don't know how closely those changes are going to be reflected in the PC update. All I know is that a bunch of cool new features and content, as well as bug fixes will be coming to the PC version in the coming months. (c:

Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Huge attack on WordPress sites could spawn never-before-seen super botnet
|
on: April 13, 2013, 12:13:07 PM

If you have a WordPress site, you better check to make sure you've got a strong password on it. And also maybe install some plugins (linked to in the article below) to increase security/limit login attempts. Security analysts have detected an ongoing attack that uses a huge number of computers from across the Internet to commandeer servers that run the WordPress blogging application. The unknown people behind the highly distributed attack are using more than 90,000 IP addresses to brute-force crack administrative credentials of vulnerable WordPress systems, researchers from at least three Web hosting services reported. At least one company warned that the attackers may be in the process of building a "botnet" of infected computers that's vastly stronger and more destructive than those available today. That's because the servers have bandwidth connections that are typically tens, hundreds, or even thousands of times faster than botnets made of infected machines in homes and small businesses. . . . According to CloudFlare's Prince, the distributed attacks are attempting to brute force the administrative portals of WordPress servers, employing the username "admin" and 1,000 or so common passwords. He said the attacks are coming from tens of thousands of unique IP addresses, an assessment that squares with the finding of more than 90,000 IP addresses hitting WordPress machines hosted by HostGator.

Other Software / DC Gamer Club / Starbound (Pre-Order) 4-Pack

One of the folks from Terraria has been working on a new game called Starbound, which is very much like Terraria, except in my opinion it looks like it is improved in almost every regard. It looks awesome! They've just started taking pre-orders for $15 (minimum) through the Humble Store to help fund the game, and are offering 25% off of a 4-pack. The pre-order includes: Access to the beta (when the beta launches sometime this year) Soundtracks Full game + Steam Key (when released) Here's a video that shows off the building aspect of the game: More Starbound media. Anyone want in on a 4-pack? It would be $11.25 per person. I've already got one other person interested, so I'm looking for two more people to join up.

OK then I downloaded the correct file, the top link. It comes down as an MSI file but only 79.9 MB. Can't seem to get the entire file to download. Weird! Clicking the link seems to get me a file that (says it) is 185MB. [attachimg=#] Try clearing your cache, or just torrent it. (c: EDIT: It finished and Windows reports it is 184MB.

People of DC, I beg you a judgment about the penultimate message I posted, the message with the girl sleeping on her breast. I consider it very funny but a (male) member considers it inappropriate instead. I am ready to remove it but first I am curious to know what's your impression.  A little late for my opinion on the topic, but I did appreciate that it was behind a spoiler, though I wish the spoiler had been a bit more descriptive of the NSFW nature of what was behind it. The thread itself is indeed labeled NSFW, but most of the content is actually appropriate for work. So it's easy to forget that this thread might not be safe for work.

I don't really care about most of these, but Anodyne looks interesting. And Tiny Plumbers is one that has piqued my interest. I decided that those two made it worth it and I got it. Thanks for spreading the news about this bundle.
