lolwut?
this guy has been trolling all day
Trolling is annoying.
That isn't trolling, its just someone having seizure.
No matter what you do, people will figure out the optimal way to deal with it. Make it completely random? Some smart people will go overboard with statistics and come up with the perfect mining pattern. Have the game actively try and hide diamonds by generating them in new chunks in different laters? People will reverse engineer the code and figure out how to force the generator to do what we want.
Same thing with mob traps - they exist because mobs only spawn in darkness. Once you know that, of course we'll light up safe areas, and force mobs into where we want.
What you're seeing isn't hacking or exploiting - it's human nature. Until the last century or two, those who didn't behave this way died. When meals are days apart, you don't have the calories to waste doing things inefficiently. It's interesting seeing how it translates to a game.
Without seeing the actual license agreement its only speculation, but you're worried about nothing, IMO. Nothing there said you couldn't make a mod without the license - you just won't get access to the source code, you'll have to reverse engineer the obfuscated code each release.
Also, he said nothing about preventing mods from doing certain things (aside from enabling piracy or doing malicious things, obviously), so there may not even be anything to prevent a mod developer from implemeting their own version of an official expansion.
You should thing about this the other way - Notch is releasing the entire code base into the wild. He's putting himself at much risk, and the rewards are unknown. Mods will still be unstable and break every release, totally up to the mod developer's skill and how much they keep up with Mojang's changes.
I haven't played with rails much, but the detector works like I expected, anyway. If you're trying to power the rail as the train comes in, well.. why? Whether that works or not depends on how fast the cart is traveling, which doesnt make sense.
Hook up some rails so that the incoming cart goes up a slope - first track on the slope is powered rail, next highest piece is detector rail. Attach the powered rail to a latch that gets toggled by the detector rail. Send a cart through. The powered rail boosts it up the slope, cart hits detector, detector toggles off power rail, cart falls down and brakes on the slope. Add another button to toggle the latch, cart takes off the way it came.
* Mod developers can download the source code from our SVN repository.
As soon as we commit a change, it will be available to all mod
developers, unobfuscated and uncensored
I almost can't believe he's doing that. Releasing the full source code to a commercial product is kind of.. crazy. But hey, its his business.
Note that of course, this won't stop mods from breaking every release. With no official API, Mojang is free to refactor code at will; unless the mod developer stays on top of changes and fixes their mods before each update, they will still break. So the whining won't stop at all, for most of the mods.
Luckily torches don't go out and no monsters can remove them, so that didn't actually happen unless you're in SMP. Also, the odd noises are from a dark cave being nearby. Nothing to worry about.

I must have missed something.. what's fun about this post? I didn't realize randomly banging on keys like a monkey counted as entertainment.

Back up your games. You can simply copy the game folder elsewhere. You should be doing this for your entire PC, not just Minecraft.
If you crash and get stuck, immediately exit and mcedit yourself somewhere else.
