"Eclipse" is when the Sun is blocked/hidden/occulted by something else. It makes IBM's reasons for funding Eclipse dead obvious.

I completely agree so long as you remember that Eclipse targeted Visual Studio and not Sun. http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/Eclipse-Behind-the-Name/

FBI Examines Second Life Casinos 104

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday April 04, 2007 @05:02PM from the checking-under-the-hood dept.

UnanimousCoward writes "Yahoo! is running an article reporting that Second Life has invited the FBI to tour their casinos. Under the theory that they may have some objections, Linden wanted to make sure that everything was on the up and up. The FBI has apparently taken them up on the offer, but will not comment on their conclusion. With the recent US crackdown on Internet gambling, visits to Second Life casinos have increased (using Linden dollars that can be exchanged for real currency). 'Most lawyers agree that placing bets with Linden dollars likely violates US anti-gambling statutes, which cover circumstances in which something of value is wagered. But the degree of Linden Lab's responsibility, and the likelihood of a any crackdown, is uncertain.'"
