Lulz from the Emerald Collapse*

"I don't know what Soft's particular expertise is, but it makes sense to me that some engineers would, in their pursuit of cool features, forget about security. It is the sort of thing that would be caught in a design review or status report, by some OTHER person."

"His expertise is security."

*Particularly the encoding of paths into a jpeg.

You've lost me - was person 1 compla... ah fuck it. I don't even know what I was going to ask or how to ask it.

Instead, trufax about Soft - he's the only Linden ever to be on my friends list. He visited the old HBA Island and left me a nice "TY" IM. I friended him but never bothered him apart to ask him to endless TSMGO shows. As far as I know he never came and now I'm not on his friends list any more. Ho hum.

Other trufax about soft, like 99.9% of Lindens, I've never bothered to find out what they do. Micheal I know, the rest I haven't the faintest.

The Emerald devs had latterly arranged it so the path users installed Emerald into was encoded on a jpeg - which is not necessarily information that people want to give out.

Soft purportedly thought it was a cool code job at least until he thought about it some more.

bwahahaha, that *is* funny :-D I think most young coders are borderline griefers at the heart of it - something about being clever and young does not go towards developing humility easily.

Well I wouldn't say borderline - they crossed that line a long while back.
