It is also Anti-Fascist Struggle Day in Croatia and the day Charon, a satellite of the dwarf planet Pluto, was first discovered in 1978.

A tentative date of 9 July has been set for the roll out of SSB, on the TPV Developers mailing list. http://secondden.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/i-told-you-so.html Singularity seems to me to best performing viewer, with all the others lagging this last month. I hope the role out will mean I can go back to using Firestorm. My current advice to anyone still using one of the viewers about to go obsolete, if they are experiencing lag issues would be to give singularity a try. Others have mentioned Cool Viewer but I haven't tried that.

A search for Red Gravse brings up nothing in world or on marketlace for me.

have you tried reseting to default avatar to make sure that whatever alpha seems to be stuck on your top has been properly removed?

(And just for reference, 1000L is average price for a skin on SL) She looks cute, but not very african she just looks like someone with a dark tan. This as one of many Angel Rock examles just looks so much more real to me. It is worth spending money on a skin if it something you are going to wear a lot. I have lots of 1000L$ skins I thought looked cute. Do I wear them no hardly ever. My money has been much better spent on ones that actually are what I wanted not compromises.

Are they all the same shape? I like the third one the best, maybe it is just the darker skin I like. I do know that when i have seen dark skinned avies and asked who has made the skin because they just look so stunning it has always been an Angel Rock skin (and I presume shape).

Unless you are taking my statement that in RP it is human nature to hate Vamps so personally. I've been watching RP in SL for around six years now. My experience has been, and yes it is my experience, other people may have experienced differently, that the most drama I have seen has been in the BDSM and Bloodline's communities. As stated by its founder, Bloodlines was meant to be a "blight" on the Grid. That is a simple fact. Here is a question. Why do you need Bloodlines to RP being a Vamp? Are people in Bloodlines going to refuse to RP with you if you don't join it? What does it say about those people? Those are just honest questions. They don't mean that I hate you. Why do you need Bloodlines to RP being a Vamp? - You don't need Bloodlines to Vamp... It is however helpful, you get animations, you get a community built up on familiar shared ideas and rules. Are people in Bloodlines going to refuse to RP with you if you don't join it? - If they are creative at RP and they have a shared desire for a type of RP then I see no reason to think they wouldn't. I see bloodlines Vamps and Lycans doing lots of other RPs and activities. Just like anyone else. What does it say about those people? - It says they are subject to the same social dynamics as the rest of us. Those are just honest questions. They don't mean that I hate you. - How else did you expect those questions to be answered? The answers seem obvious.

There is a distinction be made at whether it is at someone elses expense and also whether or not it is in some sense deserved. If it is not deserved and the person being laughed at is made uncomfortable by that then the situation is bullying and there is a wealth of information to suggest that is not good for the social group, the victim and also those doing the bullying or laughing along with them. If it is laughing at a bully then it is probably of benefit, as it would laughing along with the victim at a misfortune.

Good luck with the protests. I hope they result in some positive change

In my experience the bloodlines clan that enlisted me when I started in SL helped me no end, including when I got a talking tummy from an onduty experience- hehe They provided a helpful family with a welcome resource of knowledge and would take the time to help those new to SL. Something invaluable since it has such a high learning curve and after escaping the welcome centre I was never able to find it again and was left adrift and lost without any bearings. The War game they play is also one of the best combat games in sl, and lots of fun. All the hate directed at bloodlines is misdirected. Your name ends up on a database.... well so what? The databases that spam you with special offers are far worse, than being on a passive one that just records you once did something in their system. (ps this is a general reply to the thread i just used reply to you Reply to Innula Zenovka because i couldn't fid reply to thread option)

I entirely agree with Dresden; the Forums are a wonderful place to see morons demonstrate their idiocy, to see masochists complain about how badly they have been beaten up, to see naive serial romantics whinge about the ephemeral nature of their partners' affections, and especially to see those, like you, who would like to believe in the the underlying humanity of humanity, but are confronted here by the greater mass of humanity who enjoy nothing more than to hear the plaintive adult versions of the immature "It's not fair!".

Are you intending to inject some humour in to the debate by making me laugh at your apparent lack of basic comprehension skills and bizarre logic? Well no laughs from me I am afraid i feel sorry for you and your delicate sensibilities... Awe Diddums... Maybe you should ask your mummy for help with understanding what has been said before sharing. A lack of comprehension? I was basing my comments on a professional study recently published in the British Journal of Developmental Psychology, which found that children as young as four had a righteous sense of schadenfreude, which had developed considerably by the time they were eight years old. Unless you have reasons for suggesting that this is only a pre-adolescent phenomenon - and I have considerable practical evidence to confirm it is not - then I would suggest that it is you who is suffering from a lack of comprehension and logic. Awe . . . I am afraid that the laugh is on you; I am enjoying your publicly humiliating verbal pratfall. ETA Particularly since you have demonstrated a considerable degree of moral insensitivity regarding maternal support. You appear to have absolutely no clue what my point was. Taking pleasure from other peoples failing is not healthy for a community, for the individual targeted for bullying nor for the person taking delight in the others misfortune. No where did I say it is a mental illness, nor that it is restricted to any age group. Maternal support? what are you on about? it is the subject of your enjoyment here that has lost their mother and is suffering the same condition. I feel very sorry for you, you are so insulted that anyone would have the impertinence, to say hold on a minute.... can you really not think of a more constructive way to find your pleasure than laughing at those suffering misfortune? You come across as a bit pathetic. Awe Diddums indeed.

But I didn't want this thread to be about anyone specific anyway, and I didn't want it to be about what was specifically said, either. If your original post had been about a hypothetical situation and not a specific one along with negative judgments, your intent expressed later might be a little more believable. My original post had no specifics. I didn't name any names, I didn't repeat what was said. My post said that someone approached me in world, and expressed negativity about a different post. Then it asked why that sort of thing happens in SL, while making it clear that I didn't think highly of doing so. Go back and read it if you need to. It only became specific when said person came in here and made it specific. That's entirely on them, and out of my control. So I'll say it again. My intent had been to talk about the validity of carrying the general discussion forums over into the grid. The topic of "what happens on the forums, stays on the forums". Nothing more. You original post may not have been detailed but it most definitely was specific, you admit that yourself in your denial, you then included the leading and insulting question "But how crazy are people that they have to actually take the time to look someone up in-world, and go on a rant in IMs over a forum post?" Your original post is a huge fail if you really did want to have a general discussion about what the etiquette is for people responding to a forum post with an instant message. You could have just asked the question in a neutral way without any specifics. Like "what is the etiquette is for people responding to a forum post with an instant message where they felt offence? would a private message be better?" On the other hand if you wanted to further upset someone you know has already taken offence at your conduct. Then I tip my hat to you. Well done you couldn't really have framed the Op or thread any better, within the rules the forum allows. Assuming you do want an answer to your question, then here is mine... It is far worse to take an event from in world and bring it to a public forum where it might be construed the purpose is for amusement from their humiliation and to massage your ego publically, than it is to raise an objection in response to something said on the forum in private, in world to someone you think might listen and empathise.

Then after a hard slog of looking for work for over 2yrs, I finally got a job, and was in it for 8weeks, only to have an industrial accident in December, which has left me unable to walk properly, and has made me disabled. There is no compensation to be claimed, due to the circumstances and a change in UK law regarding compensation claims - and the company fired me for 'lack of attendance' in spite of hospital and medical letters, leaving me with no income whatsoever. So basically - even for $10 I couldn't afford a new computer right now. Thank God the internet is a gift from my brother! I often wish I were a smoker or drinker, so I could give it up and reallocate spare cash - but I'm not. Lol. Ah well - I have faith.... LL don't let me down, on the giving me a new computer thing!!!! LMAO! More than 10$ i am afraid but there is a special offer on in June for eople on benefits to get a basic PC and broadband internet for a year for £25 (under special offers on the website). http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/news/get-online-home-and-microsoft-offer-pcs-from-24-118648 Source: http://www.getonlineathome.org/special-offer.aspx The PC will be better than your current 10 yr old one, but I am not sure it would really be enough to give me much satisfaction playing without at least getting more memory and graphics card, but if you are used to 64m view distance and everything on low settings it may well work on singularity, Catznip or one of the other viewers that seem to have less resource requirements than the linden labs viewer or firestorm.

Have you fiddled with avatar offset value in debug settings? If not this sounds like a problem with animations. Have you tried using a different AO?

Probably best to just take it down, or take it down and reply... "you could have just asked". But if you think they are being spiteful then I would be tempted to take the original image and copy the text of their removal notice on to it and reply back to them saying... "thank you for making me aware of the copyright issues on the image. I have now taken legal advice and amended the image so it will comply with a fair use defence. Please see attached. I hope you are satisfied with the outcome. Ps and thank you for providing us some entertainment." All the same probably best to just use a better image. :womanlol:

Since prims are the basics that were actually meant for building and creating, mesh will probably never get better, or become official, but over time users will find more secrets and tips on how to make everything work out for the best. It's a use at your own risk type of thing. And are you sure they aren't rendered for her and not for you ? When it comes to mesh we can never be sure. The clothes rendered for everyone else around. Just not for me. I had to take photos to prove it.

On the up side there is still time for you to forge ahead from this point on in your life to look a little deeper.... ....oh, I almost forgot something. Welcome to earth, land of misfit toys. Enjoy your stay. Peace, love and bunnies. It's personal preference. For example, I will not date men RL who smoke. Others may not want to date someone from a particular religion.

I see your point. .....then it occurred to me that it may have been a tattoo of Satan, chain smoking as he dropped bombs on cute little bunnies. That, I suppose, would be a deal breaker for me too. it might have been a 100$ bill tattoo

The avatar would seem to be this chap: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/MarcComplete-Avatar/3303572 I have no idea why or how it would cause a problem with logging in,

My friend uses a mesh avatar and occassionally over the last few days her clothes don't render and I get the triangle script errors around her. I have treid clearing my cache and playing with MeshMaxConcurrentRequests, and changing regions but with no success. Seeing my friend nude has some advantages hehe, maybe it could be called a feature rather than a problem - lol but does anyone have any other suggestions for fixing this?

Odd the http://www.dxexchange.com/ still has the message about being shut down.

Pretty sure DXExchange shut down on Sunday and is back again now. Maybe others will follow suit soon. DXexchange temporarily open until June 7, 2013! (15-05-2013 from 13:00) Dear Customers, After all the commotion surrounding the new TOS of Linden Lab has become clear that some exchanges stick to the first article of the TOS, which provides that the limitation of the rights of the user only commences 30 days after the announcement. At the request of many customers, the team of DX convinced the management to follow these exchanges and still open up until June 7, so that the European users of SL have the opportunity to pay their land and to buy the lindens to continue their "Second Life". This wil give them time to switch to other payment methods. We buy from the lindex so that should not be a problem. Sjoerd van Essen CEO DXexchange LLP http://www.dxexchange.co.uk/
