<p class=MsoNormal>I don't think you understand the relevance of what is going
on. IF they can put code into it to crash or disrupt your OpenSim software,
then what else is in the code that we are unaware of ? I see a HUGE security
risk here. Anyone who has this running at home on their home network, they
invited them into looking at your network and your computers. I have
permanently shut down my Grid. I no longer support OpenSim.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>And they are correct when they say, This is not commercial
software and that THEY are not responsible for anything !<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Why not just set your system clock back a day or so on April
1st until April 2nd to avoid it in the first place if you're using a dev
release? Of course that assumes OpenSim gets the time and date from the system
rather than NTP... I'm not sure lol.<br>

As for the people who don't have a heads up on this I don't know what to say.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Ok so let me get this straight.. since I am NOT the
coder here of my personal Sim as you put it, then I am to expect it to Fail or
screw up because the coders who you say "Own" the code ( which by
that logic means they own my sim ) can deliberately crash the sim all because
of a Stupid holiday prank ? They deliberately put code in there to screw
up EVERYONE who has a sim that is a DEV version ? <o:p></o:p></p>

will get a bad surprise ( and not all of them are even IN this group ) ..
and some who have been trying so hard to keep it running, are going to
think that something major is wrong on that day not thinking it was all a prank

Beware, we have one month before April Fool's day. Gremlins have<br>
