  1. Yes, but Comrade Kitten still tries; my bucket list is long, and it has a line on it "Get Prok to say Thank You Callum"
  2. I appreciated the thread, I learnt something I think is quite useful as a result of it. I used to live in an orthodox area of my city, inside an eruv. All of my neighbors and many friends in the area were Jewish. I did know some of the laws that were being obeyed on the Sabbath as a result, but this topic, of the crossover into digital was new to me. It was good learning
  3. Anyway, this is the way I do it, mind you I am a few weeks out of date, heh. I should sort my inventory again.
  4. No, I was working with content loss, not just the paste action. I am sorry to have misunderstood you. You are correct, that is lost on a crash, as it's memory only. But at least, phew, we know the item is still there so there is no content loss. Can you use the recent tab to see it? It might be a valid workaround for you. Set your recent to 7 days and make that tab show newest first. When you get a force-unpacked box it will be at the top of the list, you can cut again, then move to the full inventory window and try the paste.
  5. Not double click. Press both buttons at the same time. All camera huds I have tried block the ability to press both mouse buttons at once, which is the way I prefer to walk. LMB+RMB = walk If you try that with a camera hud on you don't walk, instead you get the RMB menu. I'd love to find one that doesn't block it.
  6. When it happens, draw a line from the top of your legs, to the point you are trying to rez, and onwards. Where does the line touch land?
  7. Can you point to a place I have said all feminists are "men-haters" because that is not in my belief structure. I support feminism, I speak out against gendered violence, I protect people who are being abused, I support equality. This is all core value stuff to me. Please show me where I say all feminists are men-haters so I can damned well correct it, or at least retract it properly. Now - without generalisations, just on your words. Let's start with your subject: Men Not Liking Men: The Shocking Truth about Male-Pattern Loneliness in SL! "Male-Pattern Loneliness" eh? The link to alopecia is clear, physical shaming. What made you choose those exact words if not a bait? If a man made a similar bait to a woman, would you be offended? Yes! and rightly so.
  8. It happens because the physics creator didn't make a valid model. When I make mesh I do it properly, and I don't see this bug. But if I use a house from a whole bunch of "creators" then it happens. In some cases this is what happens when you get the message you don't have permission.... That line would start from your 0,0 I think (the top of your legs) and extend to the box, then out of the hole in the building to the land. In other cases not. They just give a rez failure. Now as to the error message: Prok, do you own the land at 0,0 in the region you are trying to do this in? Could you do a test to cause the same error in a region where you do own the 0,0 and see if it changes?
  9. Just tested in Firestorm Had an alt send a no-copy prim Cut Turned off computer Turned on computer Started Firestorm Item was there in it's original place. About to test with the SL client after it finished installing, because that's what Prok uses... Edit: Just tested in the official SL client Using the same no-copy prim Cut Turned off computer Turned on computer Started SL Client Item was there in it's original place.
  10. For some, it it against their scriptures to write on the Sabbath. This means that goods can not be bought or sold, or money exchanged, as that causes someone to "write a receipt". Comes from this guy I believe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maimonides
  11. Yes, they are there. And they are repeated a number of times. That suggests you actually want confirmation of your thoughts. Scylla, by and large men are accepting, caring, loving, intelligent people who are let down by a number of high-profile arsehats. Don't paint us all with that feminist brush please.
  12. Today I am working a bit more towards replacing all the cliffs in my rental estate. At the same time I have another game running on my left screen, real time sailing, where I am sailing a yacht down the coast of Kangaroo Island in South Australia. Third monitor has the forums.
  13. Going to be 30 here later this week (that's ummm 86 American degrees.) Yes, it is cold! December is tomorrow and it should be well over 40 (104 American degrees) by now.
  14. J-Pop, J-Rock, J-Metal, J-Anime, J-Goth, J-Schlager Or some Frisky, it's great for times I really want to intensely focus on one person.
  15. The wide generalisations about male avatars were there from the (now very heavily edited) first post.
  16. You know... we effectively have 2 male bashing theads on the forums now, yey. wtg girls.
  17. From experience it stings, but the three days is over pretty quickly, and the sting does numb pretty quickly. If you come back, come back with grace and style and don't bite at the troll. But either way, look to your friends. Consider them in any final descision you do make, don't just dissapear off the face of the earth for them. As always the circle of people who know and appreciate you is far bigger then you realise.
  18. Trouble I find with the camera HUDs is that they block you double mouse walking. It's much easier to use the debug settings, and double mouse isn't blocked.
  19. ^ is a statement from the LL TOS&CS. These standards apply in the forums too. We should not forget them, please.
  20. There are pros and cons to this. Not everyone in SL is able bodied being the main one. One of my subs has epilepsy, it can be light triggered. I need to be very careful of any lighting effects I use at home and in play for this reason. Quite a number of others are visually impared and need to have certain screen settings to actually play SL. On the other hand, it is an equivelant right for the experience owner to perform an action they have permission for, as it is to set up a ban orb and keep all people with a certain attribute out of the region. "Don't like my rules, then you are free to leave" It's a hard one to balance. One way to balance it way might be that grid wide environment is not allowed, it must be a land/region based setting. Then lock it. People who don't like the lighting chosen can leave and go elsewhere. But the larger question here comes down to permissions. The current permissions system is not great. If I want to TP someone and set a suggested lighting I am also asking them for permission to force attach, permission to track their camera (look how many people turn off lookat in the TPV's to see how camera privacy is considered) and permission to force sit, and lock in place. Which of course means, I have been granted permission to apply any animation I desire. If the permissions system were more granular, that i could ask for Teleport and Lighting only, it might be possible to also then say "grid wide lighting, or land only lighting"
  21. Simplistically.... There are two main ways information travels over the interwebs. One is called TCP/IP and one is called UDP. TCP/IP is used for all the important stuff like mesh, graphics, and money. UDP is used for all the unimportant stuff like chat, people's movement and so on. The bandwidth setting sets a throttle on the maximum amount of UDP you want at any time. Too much UDP and your TCP/IP dies. This is why it's a less-is-more setting.... delays or lost stuff like chat is no biggy, we just see it as lag, or lines appering out of order... but losing money, or seeing a grey texture never appear would make people grumpy. When you download a huge file it's one item. There is minimal chat between you and the server. When you download from SL you are downloading hundreds of little files. Each texture is 1MB or so, and they all come effectively one by one. Due to various technical reasons that are really outside LL's control, you can only download 10 or 16? (Not sure of the exact number) texture files at once. And each time you want a new one there is a whole handshake thing that slows it all down.
  22. Consider that in real life the balance between the two main genders is about 50/50 or at most 51/49 in favour of the distaff. In SL this number is vastly weighted in one direction. There are so many female avatars for every male avatar. This might explain why you have a differeing proportion between the two worlds. Simply, there are less men here, so the number on your FL is lower.
  23. Nods, correct. And the following is a HUGE generalisation Scylla. It's also false.
