Ah... Graphic designers... The (not so) fond memories.
Once a design firm tried to charge 1000€ to change the background color in a flash animation.
Why? Cause it was final art (as in the print trade) and so it costed extra.
As for the accessibility, flash and accessibility dont mix, ever.
As for the rest... i dont see the problem either

I don't understand what you are saying. If I take GPL'd code and make changes to it, I do not have to provide anyone with my sources. However, if I give you a copy of my binary changes, I must also provide the sources to you. I am under no obligation to provide the sources to anyone I have not distributed the binaries to. What part of this doesn't fly with you?
@morbiuswilters said:
Copyright law only applies to redistribution of a work. If you do not give someone the binaries, then you cannot be required to comply with any license. The source only has to be provided to those you distrubute the binaries to.

@Nandurius said:I also don't see the GPL source code for the embedded linux system made available anywhere on the site.
IANAL but you only have to hand out sources to people who get the binaries.You're right, of course, but most companies who actually comply with the GPL simply make the sources available on the website. I wasn't trying to suggest that they had to have it there, publicly available, I only took that as an indicator of their interest in being compliant. The OP, on the other hand, is entitled to receive all gpl sources that were used in the product.
Btw: The binaries (firmware images) are actually available on the website, and available to anyone. Since they are distributing these, and if these images contain any GPL code (such as the kernel module that claims to be GPL) then the source of the affected parts should be made available also.

Worse in Perl:
"3" != "4"
"3" == "03"
"8" == "010"
"foo" == "bar"
"nanosecond" != "nanosecond"Am I correct assuming that the original poster's point was that in LSL, there's no official way to compare two arrays, and the intuitive way (using equals operator) is valid syntactically but doesn't work as expected?
Because in that case, comparison to Perl wouldn't be valid, because Perl does have perfectly functional string comparison operators ("eq" and "ne"), and its only sin is that the "normal-looking" comparison operator isn't overloaded.
But if my assumption is wrong and the situation is similar to Perl, well, Perl is hardly alone - I've given up relying on automatically assuming equals operations work in any languages in any non-trivial situations, and look at the documentation and do a test in worst case. Paranoia creeps in so easily. =)
yes that is the case, if you wish to compare two lists each of your scripts must include a user defined function to that effect.
You may not be aware of Second Life's scripting language the "Linden Scripting Language"
There is much to explore so here are a few bullet points found in the wiki http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/
Keep in mind that since there appears to be no official documentation all information is provided by volunteers (WTF #1)
in no particular order
10 byte length ints
http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=MemoryUsage
no bool short circuiting
http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=boolean
one function per type to retrieve an element from a list (there is no generic one)
http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=list
the type system has issues, for instance, the list is used very often, but is very badly implemented
function parameters are always passed by value (even lists)
the best way to append a element to a list is:
myList = (myList=[]) + myList + ["new_item"];
because (quoting from wiki)
integer STRIDELENGTH = 3; // this is very helpful when dealing with strided lists to keep your code flexible
list visitors = ["Ama Omega", 5, "2004-06-12", "Catherine Omega", 12, "2004-06-28", "Ezhar Fairlight", 25, "2004-06-30"];
visitors += ["Mistress Midnight", 1, "2004-06-30"];
I believe there is much more to be found
This post had the collaboration of Sgeo and DrJokepu, my thanks :)
It may be interesting to note, that she is also paranoid about black helicopters. Her scrapbook is a trip into a weird mind.
She seems very normal when talking about her husband who likes to read, etc. , and then all of a sudden, starts talking about suspicious trucks and helis.
I bet Sepctate would find several aliens in the photo of the tree!
Doug Pederson vs Nacy Ross. A match made in heaven.
P.S. since i dint post for months, i must say it: the RWTF is still the forum software damnit!
