It's the analogue hole of the data being made available to the client over the SL protocols you ignoramus.

If the data is made available to the official client, then it can be made available to third-party clients.

"What you fearmongers and headless chickens don’t seem to realise is that to stop libSL from being able to do what it does, you must stop supporting the identical feature in the official client." Please point me to where in the official client is the feature (exposed directly to the user) of creating exact copy of primitive(s) that user has no modify permissions for, using the positions, dimensions, teture references and other parameters of these prims. What you don't seem to grasp is that people are questioning common sense of providing random Joe Blow with ready to use specific *combinations* of basic abilities that the official client doesn't offer to its users, and for quite good reasons.

Absolutely nothing is wrong with text-based gaming.

But reducing Second Life to a text-based MMO to combat crime is absolutely ludicrous. Which was the point I was trying to make.

And what, precisely, is wrong with telnet MUDs? Or MUSHes, more appropriately. If SL all goes pear-shaped, I have repeatedly said that I will set up a MUSH myself.

@ Anonymous:

I can rob a bank doesnt mean I should rob a bank.

I never said we should make it easier for the criminal minority to commit crimes.

I am strongly against making it harder for the law-abiding majority to go about their lives unrestricted and uncensored.

It is healthier for a community- society even- if it is made easier for criminals to be reported, caught and prosecuted. I don't want to live in a police state where my every action is monitored, and my choices with how I live my life are dictated to by the government. And neither should anyone else.

Aside from the overly paranoid who need to feel safe, warm and fuzzy and don't mind their rights being stripped away from them just because the big scary man might come get them.

I believe There's content censorship policy would be perfect for those people.

And yes, I am 100% aware that not everyone could afford to go after the criminal minority goes after their content- this is what I am saying about making it easier for society to have criminals reported, caught and prosecuted.

Please note that I am not advocating criminals as second class citizens- e.g. infringing on their right to privacy by making it easier for their personal information to get a hold of.

I don't want my ISP to give the MPAA my contact details because the goons didn't know I already had a copy of the film I was downloading on VHS (the film in question was Ghost In the Shell, I'd gotten it on VHS, downloaded it so I could watch it without my sucky VHS player eating the tape, then bought the DVD)

The steps one must take to be noticed in a sea of noise...

@ SpamHater:

You're little better than a spammer in attracting attention with your lame methods.

I notice that your comment is not directed at the content of the comment, only the way in which it was presented. This kind of behaviour is referred to as "trolling", and while I am aware that IRC bans the use of loud text, I am not aware of many blogs that do- and I blog a whole lot more than I use IRC.

By the way, if you pay any attention to the meaning of the tags I used- and , you'll note that they mean the contents are to be spoken in a strong tone of voice, or emphasised by means of varied intonation, pace, or tone of voice.

on the other hand, in it's stylistic usage, generally does mean Loud and obnoxious

SignpostMarv, Yeah - great job Marv. You're little better than a spammer in attracting attention with your lame methods. There's a reason most IRC channels and many blogs ban the use of LOUD OBNOXIOUS TAGS.

hehe. thanks for noticing it :-D

It seems I succeeded in making use of the tag to get my comment noticed as people scrolled through all the noise in the same manner they do when clicking "Accept" for an EULA.

Found this post thanks to Google Alerts :-)
