[How to NOT make friends]

If we got turkeys from America, how come we named them after a country that bridges Europe and Asia?

Or was it the Americans, with their well-honed geographical skills?

[Friday Debate: When your morality conflicts with legality which wins?]

Durkheim has it the wrong way around. Crime is meaningless without law.

The idiot also believed that anything that exists in society must serve a beneficial purpose.

So how does that explain paedophilia, genocide, and, worst of all, kissing a girl when she'd prefer it was Johnny Depp doing it?

[Oh, and also, please leave organised religion out of any discussion of morality; the former has nothing to do with the latter.]

[Which one is better for SL? ATI (AMD) or GeForce (nVidia)]

Nvidia definitely!

To experience SL as it should be played, you really need two Titan Z cards.

In fact, I am saving up for a third so I can model the human brain.

[When I said "SL as it should be played", I meant that having those high power cards would enable you to speedily identify the type of avatar who is going to ask you for sex, even if you are the wrong gender, because they are using Intel graphics and seeing clouds against a Fifty Shades of Grey background, and are culturally ignorant so they can't tell that HotBabe2015 Resident is likely to be a bloke playing a Barbie. The other benefit of such a set up is that you can cook bacon sandwiches on the PC case while playing, and crashing, and playing, and crashing, and . . . ]

[Also, when I said I needed a third one, I probably don't for 99% of SL residents; an EGA card would do to display the average of 42 brain cells that it takes to post - and reply to - a question in General Discussions which should obviously be in a Techical forum.]

You do realise that "resolved" is a Linden code word for "closed the JIRA because we couldn't really work out what was wrong", don't you.

That sounds like an idea for a continuing thread, along the lines of "Challenge Caity".

[LeeThere Present]

I believe she may have made a New Year Resolution not to appear in any forums until she had finished reading David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest".

Rumour has it that she is currently on about page 200, out of 1,100, not including the 150 pages of endnotes. 

And Wallace doesn't believe in paragraphs.

Which obviously affects Lee's occasional "Wall of Text" style posts.

Extrapolation of her progress suggests she may return just before Christmas.

If she hasn't collapsed in a catatonic coma before then.
