Stuxnet, and other things

So. I've been doing some research on computers, and I've stumbled across something very interesting.

Yes. Stuxnet.

I'm not sure if you guys have heard of this thing, but basically it is the most complex computer worm ever. They found it in a nuclear enrichment plant outside of Natanz, Iran in 2010. The thing sports 500 kb of dense code, while many other viruses have about 10-15. So complex is the design, including four individual Zero Days (glitches in a system that can be exploited without the developer's knowledge, because they don't know about the glitch), that it appears to have been done by government-backed professionals.

Anyway, that's the random trivia of the day for you guys.

In other news, Chapter 9 of PC has arrived!

Finally, for anyone who has any knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons, I'm going to ask for some feedback. I plan on making a build for a D&D class... of your choice! So leave a comment on what class YOU want to see, but if you don't mind avoiding Essentials classes, that would be nice. So let the roleplay begin!

Kaires, who is excited to make a D&D character... of your choice!

  1. Oh, boy, I have millions of ideas for builds, half of which I've already made... Sorcerer that has litch blood, dryad blood, or djinn blood, Explosives specialist Artificer, Avian druid, warlock or similar class that focuses WAY more than infernal on life drain (like mini devourer?), archer swordmage (arcane archer?)...and millions more!!!
