sandbox n.
1. (also `sandbox, the') Common term for the R&D
department at many software and computer companies (where hackers
in commercial environments are likely to be found). Half-derisive,
but reflects the truth that research is a form of creative play.
Compare playpen. 2. Syn. link farm. 3. A controlled
environment within which potentially dangerous programs are run.
Used esp. in reference to Java implementations.
