Three pages, fairly sucessful troll OP.

Clearly there is still a segment of players in this game who are still insulted by the idea they are having fun in an entertaining place.

She told me she used multiple purchased vendor skins and morphed them together - adding her own detailing - using Photoshop.

Doing such a thing can be a copyright violation and could see your account sanctioned under the TOS/CS.

She told me briefly that the skin files are located locally (as well as on SL) - in a special folder. From that folder she was able to copy, morph, and replace the original purchased skins. 

It is not legal to "rip" skins without permission, if you alter them or not.

Sadly, mine says ts broken and to contact Thomas for a new one, he has yet to reply after two weeks. I think he may have left SL.. 

Years ago. His website still runs with a 2011 copyright, but he's been gone for years.

Conover's Orb which used to be at https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Land-Security-Orb-the-ORIGINAL-since-2006-by-Thomas-Conover/2471709

I actually thought that the Lab were not going to purge things that still sold. Yet this was zapped by them.

@Lindal Kidd runs an excellent introduction to land at Caledon Oxbridge. It's highly recommended if you can make the time.

It's possible that "without streaming" actually just means "no caps" will be connected.

The App might be a way to see which friends are online, buy linden dollars, and shop the marketplace for general rated things. No chat, no graphics, no login to world.

This is DOA.

It is, but it's one commit, considting of 4 lines, to the build .py files.

The community above has jumped at that as being proof.

I'd put it down to a troll by a Lab developer that will never make it past that one commit.

[Is it possible to break all objects on a sim with a script ?]

While there are various ways to crash a region destroying one is a whole different thing.

In my opinion - outside of bugs or mistakes by the person owning/managing/building the region - I've not seen any recent evidence of someone else being able to destroy a build, and it's an absolute certainty that news of any such exploit would spread about quite quickly. Based on that I'd say it's yet another a false rumour without any basis of fact. One to ignore.

However, assuming they found a way to exploit a bug then (as long as you are on a private estate) you can ask for a rollback. If you do need to do this try to get the ticket in quickly, the longer you wait the more chance the Lab can't restore the backups. You would be SOL if you are on mainland.

Honestly, I've run my land as open rez for 12 years and not had many unexpected problems. Most people respect trust if it's given (most) and for those that don't a ban without reaction is the way. Would removing rez save you, I doubt it.

[I don't understand this game]

This is a game where you create the scenery yourself. A building game where you can also be social if you like.

What you do is learn how to make things, then if you are not great you create laggy islands like you saw. Some people are skilled though and their islands are not laggy. It's all down to the skill of the people who built that place.

I guess it looks like 2004 in some places because some people who play this game are not professional game designers but just normal people like you and me. This game gives everyone the chance to be a game designer themselves.

and what's the problem with stacking?

If you use vehicles (and sometimes on plain TPs) they fall off - you still see them but nobody else does, or your HUD becomes unusable.

1 thing per attach point is less problematic.

Any idea where I can find City Landscape Cubemaps?

As panoramas are easier to find,   https://jaxry.github.io/panorama-to-cubemap/  will convert many panoramas into a cubemap. Then search "city 360 panorama". It wil need a bit of work, but the result can be great. This site http://360gigapixels.com/nyc-skyline-photo-panorama/ will let you buy them, but it's good to practice on free ones first. There are a lot.

[Complete 360 panoramic view texture?]

make a mesh cube in blender, in edit mode invert the normals, UV Map it. Apply textures you find with the search "cubemap"

And this brings me back to your mention of "memory". Some computers actually stored data in a recirculating signal on a long wire or by propagating sound through materials, where you need a million times less length to store the same number of bits. The speed of sound is about 1ft/ms.

CSIRAC (1949-1962) used mercury acoustic delay lines. 150cm (4.9213 feet) giving a 960μs delay

Quote

CSIRAC’s main memory design allowed for thirty-two acoustic mercury delay lines, each with the capacity to store 16 words (of twenty bits); this was later upgraded to 32 words when a method of interleaving was devised. A total of 1024 words of storage was therefore possible but only a maximum of 768 were ever available!

Some of the CSIRAC mercury tubes were about 10mm in diameter and 150cm long. A modulated pulse was generated by a transducer at one end of the tube, and 960 microseconds later it arrived at the other end of the tube where it was received by another transducer. The modulated pulse was detected, amplified, re-shaped and re-generated, being fed back into the beginning of the tube.
