DejaHo

Hire me. I can protect you. I will escort you and your lovely handicapped bride through any further trials and tribulations of SL you may encounter. If anyone even attempts to fart at/on your wife again I am fully armed and ready to fart back, and without hesitation. I am lethal! The perp will not have opportunity to return fire. He/she will be finished. I am licenced and armed with the latest, greatest fart technologies. and I am available for 1500L$ per in-world experience. I must charge you double, yes, only 3000$L on Sundays. (Have you ever tried to hire an in-world plumber on the weekend? They will cost you an arm and a leg so to speak, and your wife may not be able to spare a leg if she wheelchair bound.) I also have professional wheelchair pushing skills at a cost of only 500$L per session, however "pushing" work-for-hire alone will not protect your wife or you from any olfactory assaults you may encounter on your way to Sunday services, but I will guarantee that your wife will not miss mass. Remember that any Lindens spent in defending yourself from in-world griefers is a Linden well spent. All references will be submitted upon request for services. Edit to add: IM me within the next 24 hours for a 10% discount on all services.

Patrick032986 wrote: This might be a odd question. But, is it illegal to sell hosting packages like an example VPN's aka Virtual Private Networks on second life? If, so how come I don't see very many of that stuff on second life? Vpn is near obsolete. Vin (virtual invisible network) is more fashionable.

When it comes to matters of incompetence with regard to the Marketplace word filter, my humour and sarcasm filters when reading, are automatically turned off. I totally fail to recognise it. I'd happily have written F instead of D but I know that the equally moronic word filter here would have ****'d it. What words you choose to justify your hypocrisy is ok with me.

A dip or a raise must occur, economics 101. When, and how much? This may be why members of the Council of Economic Advisors generally take another course after Econ 101. The L$ supply is even more tightly managed than M1, with more awesomely powerful levers than mere Quantitative Easing. We know that LL sells L$s on the LindeX to prevent the value from climbing much beyond a target of about L$250/US$. Years ago, we even knew how many L$s they sold, but not anymore. There are also substantial "sinks" in the L$ supply -- processes that destroy L$s, such as upload fees, that generate demand to replenish the L$ supply even when the SL economy is shrinking. Years ago, we even knew how large these sinks were, but not anymore. From that past data, and from prudent business practices, we can be pretty sure that LL never buys L$s. Hence, although we may no longer know exactly how large L$ sources and sinks are these days, we can safely assume that the sinks are huge, and that under normal circumstances, LL is selling a lot of L$s into the LindeX. We can assume all that on the evidence of years and years of a flat exchange rate, very rarely even noticeably perturbed by any amount of bad news that might otherwise erode the L$'s value. Simply put, there must be a very fat cushion of L$ sinks that prevent the value from falling, otherwise it would have fluctuated more in the past. The rock-steadiness of the L$ through the whole cycle of this latest news is further evidence of just how big that cushion must be. Thanks for the response. Sometimes sinks get clogged and sometimes the more huge the sink the more huge the clog. What happens when all the sinks get clogged at the same time?

That's only 6-8 months from today. You've misunderstood or misquoted Ebbe. I don't expect to see SL2 before 2016, if at all. In your most humble opinion Is that early or late 2016? What do you mean by if at all, are you saying the CEO has lied to us? Something as complex as SL2 cannot be taken from concept to delivery in 6-8 months. From my experience with such things, two years seems more likely. So I'd expect to see SL2 ready for occupancy no earlier than mid 2016. I don't think that disagrees terribly with anything Ebbe's been saying. And, to ensure that my opinion is humble, I'll admit that I'm terrible at estimating how long it'll take me to complete a project. That's one reason I retired. I was just getting tired of burning myself out to keep my unrealistic promises. There appear to be some things I cannot learn. As for "if at all", Ebbe cannot control the unknowns and external forces at work on Linden Lab. I expect Ebbe and his team will work like hell to make their dream come true. But, that is no guarantee of success. If they try their best and fail, as I often do, it is not a lie. It is life. Why are you preaching to me? I don't need technology lessons either. I asked a question relating to the sl economy and you're off on some personal riff about deliverables. The ceo told us 2015. Do you know when LL started development, no, you only know when it was announced, am I correct? Just because you are terrible at estimating doesn't mean Mr. Altberg is as terrible as you.

Everything you said is pretty much unfounded speculation. Tell me Amethyst, what insight do you have that you know what the new platform will or won't be named? You are writing snark and petty symantics. I said nothing that leads to speculation. The Ceo said there will be a new platform and I want to discuss the impact of the new platform on the value of the L. If my question is too much for you to directly speak to then try not replying at all.

If v2 is going to be bigger and better as promised then it is going to cost more - economies of scale. It will also have a direct hit on the value of the L in v1. You don't think so? Imo, the rest of what you wrote is fluff unless you are an economist.

I refuse to believe my legacy stipend will hold the same value in v2.

Today, the cost of an L, please excuse the following pun, has traded virtually unchanged since before the announcement by Mr. Ebbe Altberg of a 2015 v2 release of Second Life.. That's only 6-8 months from today. Why doesn't a pending v2SL affect the $ to L costs? With v2SL won't consumer goods cost us more? Mr. Altberg told us we are transferable - avatars and Lindens - but will there not be an economies of scale thing happening here? When will the L take a hit? Maybe it's the $ that takes the hit? Where is the transparency? Where is the SL Economist speaking to this issue?
