From: Yiffy Yaffle Wouldnt it be funny if one day we're on version 1.999 and the next morning you login to download 2.0? There was no preview grid for it SUPRISE!!! You log in and everything looks superior to the graphics in TES Oblivion? XD With movable figners/toes, finger/toe attachments (newest poser models), The ability to Burn prims, and a perfected latest version of havok! Ooooo! My pants would be all sticky from the excitement!!!  But then we'd have a huge chunk of the population crying "My 6 yr old Dell with Onboard Graphics wont run SL!!"  |

From: Androclese Antonelli Well, they were forced to use 1.10.0.x you see.
You may or may not remember, but Micro$oft and Amazon.com have patent applications out on the numbers 2-9. They were not able to get 1 and 0 since they are considered binary digits and are covered under the Public Domain.
So by going to version 1.10.0.x they are only using binary numbers and avoid having the pay a royalty fee to the M$/Amazon.com alliance.
For refference, here are the next few version numbers:
01001001 01100110 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01110100 01101111 01101111 01101011 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101001 01101101 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01110100 01110010 01100001 01101110 01110011 01101100 01100001 01110100 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101000 01101001 01110011 00101100 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01101000 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01110100 01101111 01101111 00100000 01101101 01110101 01100011 01101000 00100000 01110100 01101001 01101101 01100101 00100000 01101111 01101110 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 01110010 00100000 01101000 01100001 01101110 01100100 01110011 00100001 01010100 01101000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01110000 01101111 01110011 01110100 00100000 01101000 01100001 01110011 00100000 01101101 01100001 01100100 01100101 00100000 01101101 01100101 00100000 01100001 00100000 01100110 01101111 01101111 01101100 00100001 |
