  1. Somewhere out there is a tall gangly dude with a belt buckle that's blinding airplane pilots. Not sure how but it went from, "Oh, your belt buckle glows a little" to a monitor taxing flood of white light. I suspect he went shopping for a new belt after he updated his viewer and saw that for himself. Wave and say "Hi!" if you see him.
  2. For a "living document", that wiki has a lot of necrotic tissue.
  3. Where is Second Life? I have been looking all over Google Maps for it and haven't found it.
  4. I say this to realtors a lot when they use the word Premier in a real-estate listing or when they use it verbally when describing a property.
  5. Oh, yeah. The Linden trees almost do not exist in the simulator where they are but a point. All the visible structure is merely a viewer effect almost like a particle effect with no grabbable face by which to move or return them.
  6. Does this server release make my butt sound big?
  7. Do AFK avatars drive new residents away? Absolutely, yes. But not absolutely every one. What I see is, people come in, say nothing, or something, doesn't seem to make much difference, then, if nobody greets them in a few seconds to several minutes they silently leave or utter something, sometimes something rude, then leave. Ideally, people will always get some non-automated greeting soon after they arrive. We don't pay people to be greeters, so, it's hit and miss whether someone notices the arrival and says something to them. It's our home. We should be allowed to lounge around, be distracted, take naps, wash dishes, do laundry, come back and read chat history, repeat.
  8. Looks like they forgot again. I streamed some crowded events using Second Life Release 7.1.2.7215179142 (64bit) and viewers were expressing incredulity over the smoothness of my video stream. I hadn't the heart to tell them that my 60 FPS video stream was being captured from a viewer that was rendering at 120 FPS at the outset of the adventure, limited by the "sync rate" of my 5120 x 1440 display. SL window was 1920 x 1440. Unfortunately, as time passed, the rendering slowed down, but not because the crowd was getting larger, nor because of a change of scenery. What I saw changing was avatars were changing outfits as the 3 hours long party progressed. Not sure if this changing of rendered outfits caused an accumulation of sludge or what. At the end of the 3-hour event, rendering was down to 48 FPS in a crowd of 38. Some attendees had said goodby and logged out. The crowd peaked at 44 attendees if I include myself.
  9. They will ATTEMPT to shoot you down using derisive language and fail whether you are joking or not. I'm not tinkering with making "materials" until stuff settles down. I'll look at what other people make and not stress over it.
