[edit] Cites its Sources
I didn't see this "This article or section does not cite its references or sources." seems like all the details are in the external links. maybe we should remove this tag...or should be specific about what sources are not cited --Msfwebdude 02:14, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
So I am going to remove that tag, and if anybody wants to put it back go ahead, I just dont see the point of that label. --Msfwebdude 18:13, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Detail
Well anyways this needs to be more detailed??? I thought it woul be like a programming tutorial.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aceofspades1217 (talk • contribs) 01:38, 22 August 2006.
- Read WP:NOT wikipedia is not a how to guide. The Lindens already have a Scripting language wiki that covers the how to.--Crossmr 02:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Im sorry, I understand. It could use a little more detail though.
Question when is mono coming to SL??? I keep seeing q1 2006 but i havent herd that it is out Aceofspades 17:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
- A little more detail isn't a problem, as long as it doesn't turn into a how-to. As far as when mono is coming, I've no idea, maybe check their forums or wiki?--Crossmr 17:26, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Worm news?
Some information related to the recent "spinning rings" worm[1] would be appreciated. How does one "rez" a new object, refer to other objects, etc.? Are there any restrictions on the replication of objects? Any restrictions on the computing power of scripts? (See the article on ZZT-oop for a pretty good summary of that kind of thing in a different scripting language.) --Quuxplusone 04:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- If you read the scripting wiki [2], you'll see that the majority of functions delay the script for x amount of seconds- usually just a fraction of a second.
- the llRezObject() function is used in these grey-goo attacks.
- There is an "electric fence" of sorts that restricts the malicious usage of this function to perform a DOS attack.
- As far as I am aware, Linden Lab have not released official statements regarding the technical restrictions/limitations of the fence. It's simply a case of experiment and try not to blow up the grid.
- Anything not in the inventory of an object can be referred to by it's UUID- a unique identifier.
- I did notice, that unlike the usual self-replicating objects, the majority of the sonic rings did not contain any objects- only a single script.
- While this statement should be taken with a pinch of salt, it is my belief if this was a "traditional" self-replicating object DOS attack, it did so by the ability for an object to be sent content remotely.
- The coverage in the media of this event is laughable, since far worse DOS attacks have occurred over Second Life's history, and the real-world media (as opposed to media solely concerned with SL) haven't covered them at all. I also find it ridiculous that it's called a worm.
