    Say you were making clothing. Time from inception to store is about a week's work full time hours. You have to make the item, hand paint it 14 different shades and do 6 special patterns for the fat pack, rig it for 6 bodies, box art, documentation, set up huds and packages, list it and get up in a store or at an event. You keep 60% of the money you make after fees and tax and you get no paid time off, no healthcare, etc etc/

    Still happy with a buck fiddy?

     

    He made $17 an hour for ONE hour.

    Is min wage (which is not a livable wage) really the benchmark here?

    How is he paying for his comfortable home.

    Are we forgetting that for most users SL is a 'hobby' or a 'hobby job' and for most it's not a full time career.  

    Supply and demand controls pricing in SL just like in RL, if a creator wants to earn a RL wage, they can just price their items accordingly. 

    If the DJ wasn't happy with 8000L$ from tips, then they don't have to do it, it's the beauty of choice.

    That's interesting.. A support ticket from LL confirmed a few weeks ago its paid in arrears.. I've reopened the ticket as its in clear contrast to that article

    New Netgear Router - SL Connection issues (friends and group lists, and TPing)

    in Technical

    Posted

    Good AFternoon,

    I have just connected a new modem / router (Netgear DGND3700) as I was having speed problems with my old one which has now resolved the previous issue.  Speedtest.net is showing my connection back to normal at about 13mb download and 0.5 upload.  All internet access so far other than SL has been as normal.

    Connecting to SL takes a lot longer than normal and i get a message 'requesting region capabilities.. attempt 3" etc when i use the SL viewer or Firestorm.

    It does eventually log in and movement is fine but the friends and group lists never load and I cannot TP anywhere ( I crash out).  The friends list just shows as 'loading' and the group list is blank.  Nearby avies just show as their key.

    I have read a number of posts and checked the stats in CTRL+shift+1 and all stats seem good..

     

    FPS floats up to 46fps

    Packet loss 0%

    Ping Sim 185

    SIM FPS 44.6

    Physics FPS 45

     

    Any ideas on what could be causing the issues ?

     

    Appreciate your help. **Only uploaded images may be used in postings**://secondlife.i.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_cat-happy.png" border="0" alt=":cathappy:" title="Cat Happy" />
