Seems like a logical time to do it. The game is in what Mojang considers a "feature complete" state - so you aren't building the mod API against a moving target.
Creating a union with a nice acronym certainly seems like an ideal way to address a problem with a computer game consuming too many resources for your computer.
Isn't it then rather silly to look down on someone for being "too girly"?
Nobody is (or can) tell Minecraft Chick not to be "too girly." What is upsetting is how the male-dominated gaming culture rewards girls who fit the mold and punishes girls who do not.
Gaming pop culture is full of fat, unattractive dudes... but it has no room for unattractive girls.
You could be an amazing gamer, an insightful reviewer, or a brilliant dev. But if you are a girl you had better be good looking and spunky, and you'd better shop at hot topic.
I'm actually having a lot of stability issues since the update as well. Java Virtual Machine crashes, mostly. Seems to happen soon after changing from windowed to fullscreen or back.
Weirdly, never had this issue before. Lots of transparent land issues, going back to 1.8 are still occurring, but those weren't associated with any kind of crash before. Win7, 64bit Java. Running at full distance, fancy, etc.
So what are you people suggesting? That if you're a girl you either have to hide your gender or you just can't do things that are considered atypical for women?
No - what is being implied is that people aren't interested in women who do atypically girly things unless they fit a narrowly defined gender stereotype like Minecraft Chick.
Reminds me of the year I went to a music industry showcase and saw a booth selling guitars made "especially for girls." They were pink, many had butterfly stickers on the pickguards. I couldn't help but feel like some girls might look at those guitars and think they were being talked down to.
I imagine a lot of girls look at the gender roles available for them in gaming culture and feel the same way.
Putty is just a terminal client - prolly for connecting to your server via SSH.
It's probably not putty that is the problem. While you are connected to the server try opening a windows command line and issue this command:
ping -t your.servers.ip.address
See if you are getting any timeouts, or if the ping time is really really slow.
Since you say other users are getting disconnected, it probably isn't related to your internet connection specifically, so double check with your server host to make sure the problem isn't on their end.
I'd like for them to be better at staying near their village, and maybe have more interesting behaviors of some kind. But I don't care that they look weird - they seem alien and mysterious, which is totally appropriate.
BTW - wasn't MCRegion licensed and added to Minecraft in like 1.6 or something like that? That certainly seems to recognize the value of modding.
Also, what's the status on Notch giving full access to the source code? It's no API, but that's pretty intensely supportive. I can't think of a commercial game that lets mod devs look at the actual source code.

Minecraft runs pretty well under linux, and you'd be able to keep your old OS and stuff intact.

If you don't like testing things, you definitely shouldn't install clearly labeled experimental updates.

2. I'm not sure that getting positive reviews has been much of a problem for Minecraft. It's kind of a critic's darling.

Most people who bought Minecraft don't follow Jeb on twitter, read these forums, or know where their minecraft.jar file is stored.

Well since you put it that way I guess I'd better change my views.
