on the few times that this happens to me i use my other account to pay me 1L. that seems to fix my balance

yes more time is better for these kinda laws. where i live we have a sopa kinda law now. was some ppl try to rush it thru as well. but more wise heads prevail. so it went round and round and round and round and in the end we end with something most ppl could live with

jejejejjeje (:

i read on torrentfeak here http://torrentfreak.com/top-10-most-pirated-movies-of-all-time-111012/ Avatar is the most dl movie. 21 million dls. is going to be heaps of ppl unhappy if they cant do that anymore

i like the guy in the middle with the sign that says he makes rubbish music himself personally and is really sad that he not able to rip other ppls stuff and sample that into rubbish as well like his grandad did jejejjejejeeje (:

ppl say all kinds of things on both sides of any debate. can be quite heated and even hysterical sometimes. that ok bc is important to debate bills and try work thru the ramifications + like lots of other bills we all apparently doomed if sopa passes. seems we also doomed if it isnt. doomed as an alternative to what never seems to be explained well tho. probly ur doom for me is way worse than my doom for u, or something (:

just looking at ur pictures is def a problem with the texture baking seems the problem is maybe caused by the order in which u put stuff on like i have a tattoo. i have lots of them actual all from the same maker. only one of them gives me problem tho with one jacket from another maker. if i put on the tattoo and then put on the jacket i cant see the jacket. is transparent. if i put the jacket on first then put on the tattoo then is fine i had a problem with one bald hair base as well that i made myself with the hairbase tool. whenever i put it on first my avatar gets weird textures like urs. when i put on last then is ok no idea why it does this tho. just that it does

one of the things is that when LL doesnt fix the thing that we want them to fix bc its the thing we want/need for them to fix the most for us then can seem like they not doing anything they do fix things tho. everytime new server and new viewer then is a heap of fixed things like the biggest fix has been v3 from v2. was monsta complaints about v2 so they done that. it not perfect for everyone, but v3 is way better than v2. even if i personally would like to have sidebar back bc i liked that way. it ok tho that it not and i can live without it has also been lots of small fixes as well. like boaties are really happy now that when random person clicks on their yatch then it keeps going now and not stop like it used to. thats a good fix. even fixing tiny things that they broke just bc. like Sun \ Region Settings menu item. is back now. should never have be taken out, but they fix and put back. so thats good as well parcel visibility also pretty good as well. that not a fix. is new feature but is one i like. the new fast ways to change properties of hair a good fix. and so on so on search a killer biggie still. mostly bc it return dif results for same search string sometimes. that inconsistent. so makes hard to use when search is a large part of ur own requirement. marketplace delivery suxs for me at moment as well. so is not all peaches and cream on sl yet. prob never will be for everyone everytime tho, same like any other program i think they got the blend mix right at the moment. is some new features been coming out as well but like i say already is heaps of fixes been done in last year and ll going to stay on that path for 2012 seems like. so overall i am quite happy about where we going

has ur ip address changed ??? or did you log in from another ip location and do a money transaction or an asset upload involving payment on ur account other than the ip address u normally log in on ??? in either case u dont always get an email telling you that ur account is blocked. only the ip address and the account combination is in some cases. the account itself is not always blocked. is some kinda auto-safe system that sometimes catchs ip address changes when money is involved if u can log in to the website on ur account then u can raise a ticket if u cant then ur blocked for reals and u will have to phone them

is ok and u ok as well i just made correction for other ppl reading. henri gets a bit prickly sometimes. that ok as well tho bc he puts heaps of his soul into the viewer that he makes. same like all the other tpv devs do (:

was henri beauchamp who made the mesh port to v1 style. henri makes the cool viewer. boy makes rainbow viewer. boy used to make the windows build of cool viewer way back bc henri is linux dev. they gone their own ways since then tho

dont use any tpvs much hardly ever. mostly use whatever is latest ll dev ones. just to see how they go really i think tho was the old emerald first had the dbl-click teleport, or something like it. i think ll gom it off that. am not sure but is prob in the phoenix somewheres. should be in any of the newer 3.x.x tpvs as well

am not sure where some of the angst about SOPA is coming from as relate to SL. so i read the bill to try make sense of whats upsetting ppl SEC. 102.

can use the double-click teleport in big shops where is set for teleport anywhere is quite useful when u pile into a place on top of heaps of other ppl and u all stuck the setting is: Preferences \ Move & View \ Double click on land \ Teleport to clicked point if the parcel landing point is set tho then u can only go there. if thats where u are already then oh well sometimes tho the landing point is cut out parcel from rest of sim so can free dbl-click teleport jump to other parcel

should also say about the portal bullets while can make u quite nervous about the no permissions thing, they can also be really good like say u got a combat sim like rausch. at moment if u get killed on that then u get intersim teleport home. if goes wonky then can crash sometimes the autoteleport portal have two kinds of teleports. intersim like normal and same sim teleport. the same sim teleport works like double-click on ground teleport. is a insta quick jump and no black screen so if u got a place like rausch then can cut a safe zone parcel on ur sim and make that the same sim teleport point. be way better for players in ur game that would can turn damage off as well then. so nothing happens if random ppl come ur sim and try shoot the place up with other kinds of damage style wepons has been some talk about making portal teleport a parcel permission like push is. that be quite good as well. so can disable any other teleport bullet that not register properly with ur sim game hud and game server edit: maybe even override the destination. that be cool as well

yes i got heaps of hours in on that game. like over 3000 l$ worth of time now lol. most of that i got when was in beta. not played much since it open to newbie basic accounts. they need the little l$ prizes more than i do i was test everything i could tho just to see how it all works really the realms tools quite cool i think in principle. ppl wil be able to make all kinds of interesting stuff with them not just games, like the autohuds and portals be used quite alot in shopping sims i think. stuff like that the no permissions feels a bit weird tho. i probly never be comfortable about it either really. other ppl maybe be ok about it tho.

the new tools at the moment powerful bc they break at least 3 systems permissions to work. is maybe a 4th one as well but i not test for that yet autoattach hud breaks the accept / decline permission. it also breaks the attach permission. u cant decline the hud when is given to u at the moment. it auto attachs to ur viewer whether u want it or not. is also possible to make a hud that silently attaches to ur viewer and then detaches itself, so u not even know that happened the portal teleport function breaks the llMapDestination permission. u get autoteleported if u walk into a stationary portal automagically. you also get autoteleported if u get hit by a moving portal. the rock monstas on the realms scripted to do that way. so can make bullets and stuff with this function. the destination of where u can be teleported to can be anywhere in SL is quite a fundamental change to start breaking permissions. is why ll a bit worried about who can have access to these new scripting functions if they release as is thats all they are really so far. just scripting functions that do stuff that u can do now anyways. they just not need ur permission to do stuff on/to u anymore the pathfinding script functions not available yet. that be of more interest to more ppl i think who want to make npcs and life forms. is also a AI type thingy being made as well i think. not sure when or if we will get that separate. or if will be combined with the pathfinding

on the land thing ll been operating sl on the basis that there is always another person who will pay tier is kinda true but is no real growth anymore. is just churn now that keeping land going. ll not made any new mainland for sale for ages now mainland ownership starting to hollow out. not much at a time overall. is a creeping thing really. it goes up and down but overall is ever down for regular mainland. linden homes has a lot to with it some ppl say if ll reduce tier then occupancy will go up. that true. like i would get double my existing land and pay same tier as now. not increase my tier tho. same most other ppl as well so if im not paying more tier altogether than i am now and the churn not keeping up then what ??? mainland prices cant go any lower. i sell a 400m other day bc i wanted to move to a nicer place. i flick to a bot. i get 30L for it. not 30L a meter. 30L for the whole lot lol. i try flick a 144m as well on other sim so i can buy my new place on same day. i list for 10L. even a bot not buy it lol so i abandon to linden i not really care bc i get really nice other place now on a proper ocean edge on a continent facing west so get amazing ocean sunset view \o/ but i was think about that ll the biggest crookedess land flipper in sl (: like they offer u 0L and then 24 hrs later they flip onto market for 1L per meter. even the lowest lowest scummiest land flipping robber thief private resident greedy not make that kinda loot lol in the gold land rush days like 2006-2007 ppl pile into sl to buy land bc was worth something. was illusionary of course but was still worth something to someone else anyways. like car license plates. stuff like that thing is that ll not value land ever. they try tho to make it worth something to us. by auction in olden days and now by charge us 1L per metre by flipping. is lots of land not even worth that to us now. too anyone really ll could maybe change that way of thinking like they set a real bottom price for land. not by setting a min flip price but by setting a min governor linden buy price. like when u abandon/sell ur land to the governor linden then u get 0.5L$ per meter for it. ll can still flip to open market for 1L and make markup of 100% can be extended to private sims as well this. like u get back some of ur setup fee if u relinquish ur sim. the bottom price for sims is 0$ as well at the moment ll pimping the economy by now paying l$ credits to mostly newbies to play on the realms ll always asking how they can make better for premium accounts. only reason to be a premium is to own mainland or linden home. so if that the reason for us then make it worth something. something more than 0 if u know that u can get a min 0.5L for ur land in worst situation then it kinda makes u more confident to splash out a bit more land dealers also come back into market as well i think. probly build up their landbanks again and start pay big tier again and hold out for higher prices. is good that. bc it makes the neighbors lands more valued. can annoy the neighbor tho if they want to buy it. but i rather be in a high price sim than a low one bc can always sell and buy other place more cheaper. not so much today. just dump and move to other place like me or dump and move right out of sl altogether like some other ppl do am not saying should go back to the old days of 2006-2007. just saying that if ll valued its own land more than 0 and kinda put their money where their mouth is. like they doing for newbies on the realms, then maybe premiums would as well. maybe even start buying land again as well

some other things 1) the autoHUD is really cool and will be really useful. just need to make sure that will be request permissions before anyone else can auto attach it to ur viewer 2) the auto-teleport is also cool and will be huge benefit for lots of things. but auto-teleport needs to be request permission also if the portal is moving. - if is stationary then is ok to auto-teleport me if i walk into it - but if is moving then can make a gun that fire teleport bullets and just shoot people with it that will teleport them to random places on the grid. - the teleport coordinates need be constrained or else can greif-teleport people to +MAX or -MAX and crash their viewer in some cases - need to consider what happens if a auto-teleport portal is worn as attachment. like should not be able to wear one that will auto-teleport another avatar when they are bumped

took me a few minutes to work out that i couldnt pick up the crystals by clicking on them. had to run into them which turns out to be better actually than having to stop and click as the rock monsters can move quite fast took me a longer while to understand that i had to go out into the fields to collect them as there is heaps of crystals on the shelves in the base camp building and so i try to click on them. probly not a good idea to have them like that bc that is what we do in SL naturally, click on stuff and when it doesnt work then we think is borked. best to have a sign that says go out in the fields and collect these (crystal samples) by colliding with them the green crystals u can cash for 1L at the base camp. the blue crystals worth 2L. the other colors are just for using to get tasks i think on the crafting thnigy at base camp. when u complete the task then u get more L$. i only get 1L so far for firing the red flare cannon as is the only task i complete. maybe other tasks pay more. dont know. i just been hunting green and blue crystals. 28L so far in about 2 hours. prob get more L$ overall if i do the tasks and sweep for crystals as i move to the task place the rock monsters have a area they stay in. so u can stop in some places in the fields and they not attack, while u work out how u going to scoot in and grab the crystals they are guarding is best to be in run mode all the time and use ur jump when u have to. if u being chased then try to put trees and stuff between u and the monster or jump onto a big rock. if the tree is a big one then the monster gets stuck behind it and he cant climb up onto rocks bigger than himself if is nothing to hide behind then run uphill. the rock monsters dont move as fast uphill as they do going down. is almost impossible to get away from a rock monster in a downhill race in a straight line.so need to jink and weave when u running downhill the same rock monster not chase u forever. once u out of his area then he will stop

is quite a fun game to play and u can get some little L$ off it. the rock monsters are quite funny (:

the teleport when u detach the HUD is a bug i think. it says on the web page that they will fix http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Project-LR-Frequently-Asked-Questions/ta-p/1057471 "If you detach your HUD outside of Project LR, then you will teleport into mid-air, in your current region. This is a bug that the team is fixing" is true lol. i get chucked up into sky when i detach on my home sim is a fun game. i get 28L off it so far by collect the green and blue crystals and redeem on the color machine thingys at the base camp. i have like over a 100 of the other colors but they not seem to be worth anything. just can use to get a task i think. i do one of the tasks but only get 1L for completing it so. maybe is other tasks but i not work out how to get more money off them yet. is quite addictive to play tho (:

lol (:
