Second Life Nudity and Code

"They simply assume that that which is not permissible is simply not coded, and therefore not possible - because that's how it works everywhere else that they have been!

A new resident running around naked with a prim penis attached is dismayed to be hauled up short by a landowner in a PG sim. They don't understand. "If it's not allowed," they demand to know, "then why does it let me??"

are you following the TestDriven.NET case?

No??

How do you know all the good stuff? Did you see the latest LOLretro stuff on Boing Boing?

mostly from reddit and slashdot :) check out the case - it's quite interesting. in short, microsoft has a free "express edition" of its visual studio ide, whose eula states that you can't write add-ons for it (they hope that people who want to use third party add-ons will upgrade to the full visual studio). the testdriven.net dude broke the eula by making his product operate on all versions of visual studio, including the express edition.

(and yes, i saw the lolretro stuff :) i love boing boing)
