Life is not cast in black and white so I wonder what happened to all the grey area. At first I read the subject and thought you were talking about too much fun in world. Then I read the post and I thought you were talking about me. Then I rejected that idea. To some extent drama is fun. So drama over silly stuff can lead to fun in the world... Is that what this is about. Or.... fun is good. Drama is bad. Getting bent over silly stuff leads to drama. Some drama is fun. So that's a grey area? I was speaking more to a tweet produced by Stevie Van Zandt when the Brits pulled the plug on Springsteen and McCartney. I mean he is a Sir and the other is the Boss. And someone lost their sense of humor. (this^^ and other observations of the day)

A) They were following you before you set your privacy levels or B) Your name is someone.resident or C) You are nibbling on my nuts, and actually someone named noone is following you.

  7. Today in 1817 Rush-Bagot Agreement The spirit of the agreement ultimately led to the longest demilitarized and unfortified border between nations in the entire world. It suggests that reasonable people can live next to each other in peace for a very long time.

Stick to posting what you knowa bout Sy Jeanne He was already corrected and admitted the mistake. Read before posting, Jeanne. Sorry .. Madelaine & Sy @ Pudgy .. What happened to em ?? Jeanne I can't say for sure, but I think they go into the I don't like your post and attitude file aptly named /dev/null

  11. Congratulation to you Peter. Although you blow it off to nothing, it is a very cool accomplishment, and not an easy one at that. Everyone should thank you for the time and effort you put into 'helping' others in SL.

  13. JeanneAnne wrote: LeeHere Absent wrote: Perhaps I misunderstood when you said, " SL will be killed by its greed-based economy." Sorry everybody. All bets are off. If anything kills it .. it will be that So long as all SL represents to LL execs & investors is $$$ .. SL only needs to be "good enuf" to keep generating revenue for the parasites. They have no incentive to improve anything so long as the cash keeps flowing from the suckers .. ahem! ~i mean 'residents'~ who keep throwing real money LL's way. Any innovations or improvements would harm their bottom line so we dont expect any. LL will fix things only to the extent they hav2 in order to keep the $$ flowing in. Newbies arrive in droves but only a very few stick .. just sufficient to replace oldbies who die or leave in disgust .. apparently .. Hence, mediocrity prevails & SL shuffles along year after year like a zombie. It doesnt hav2 be like this tho. If ppl who actually love SL were in control of it .. if it was run for the sake of fun rather than profit .. SL could keep getting better & better !! This wont happen so long as LL has a stranglehold on SL tho. I have proposed a tier strike in order to either force LL to relinquish control of SL to those who actually love it .. or drive them outuv business. The content creators subscribed to LL's toy economy who dominate these fora have dogpiled me over this suggestion. They seem to think they have a vested interest in preserving the status quo !! LoL As if they arent anything besides LL patsies having their creativity exploited by a ruthless sociopathic corporation. But whether or not LL's greed & ineptitude kills off SL in the near or mid-term future is any1's guess. Like i said, SL may shamble along on sheer inertia for quite some time. ¿¿ Quien sabes ?? Jeanne I do think somewhere you missed the point of the assignment.

  16. The Singularity has several definitions so let me try this one: a point in our future (many times set at or around 2030 A.D.) beyond which overwhelming technology changes make reliable predictions impossible. Although I think this to be a frightening world that many of us, as humans, will not understand, I wait for its arrival. My question for the forum, if you care to participate, is what event or events in our humanity would you like to witness? To help illustrate my question I provide a few examples: - cold fusion - conquering gravity - traveling faster than light I am waiting (to be alive at the time) for First Contact with an alien race. I want to know that we are not alone in this universe, and I would like to meet this new intelligent life.
  17. Did you actually read the log file that you originally posted? If I were you I would do a clean install. Remove the prior install and try again.
  18. LanceFu wrote: Thanks for the suggestion Rob. I tried what that page suggested but when I do a ./firestorm I still get "window creation error". However, one part of the error message states: Could it be that I am running at 24-bit colour depth but Firestorm requires 32-bit colour depth, thus it can't run? What is this telling you? It tells me that when you ./firestorm you are trying to execute firestorm. If you are executing firestorm and it is not built correctly on your computer then you will spit out errors. How did you make the leap from your first post to /etc/X11? I can suggest you RTFM and the README files that come with both your OS and the FS download.

  21. emmettcullen93 wrote: i have been looking to make lindons at a bike show or car show. are these things avalable? You are playing the wrong game if you want to earn lindons (the ~4th time you misspelled LINDEN.) Use search and events postings to find events in SL. If you can't find anything that appeals to you, then perhaps you can start a show.
  22. I am thinking ahead to SL10B.

I think you're on to something there Pudgy. The no friends solution. Hopefully the Lindens will implement it soon. After all - why do we need friends when we have followers? Follow me? Exactly. Like a squirrel, if I forget where my nuts are someone will remind me. An dats da truth.
