LlazarusLlong

The name of the company is Linden Lab. And the employees do not all idle away for money. Some of them play golf.

If it was hidden, how did you find it?

Hey, look what I found!

Everything that has happened is a consequence of the initial error, and the failure of the moderation system to remove it promptly to the correct place. (Note that I informed a moderator that it was in the wrong forum and should be relocated BEFORE even I made the first response to the OP!) A dog in a cage is fine. And a cat in a cage is fine. But if you put a cat in a cage that has a dog in it then you are responsible for what happens.

People on the forums mainly tallk about further improvements of Second Life or some changes based on the Second Life conception as is.. They do this because they simply ignore the commercial motivation of Linden Lab. Linden Lab cannot have any interest in spending a several million dollar investment and resources galore on a conception which never lived up to it´s initial promises. Whatever this "new, better, whatsopever", exclusively mainstream targeted baby will be, it will be everything but NOT a second, third or fourth Second Life. Catching, isn't it!

However, i am using OnLive SLGO now, so I have to use the Firestorm viewer. I have a hard time finding anything. I want to upload a picture to SL, but I cannot find where on firestorm you go to do this. I've looked all thru the menus up top and can't seem to find it. Can someone guide me on where this is? Greatly appreciated. Why don't you try the Firestorm support group? Or a Technical forum here, or on the OnLive website.

Darrius Gothly wrote: (And get rid of those daggone "moved" artifacts that serve no fricking purpose whatsoever.) Agreed, except that would require the mods to inform the op (as a minimum; all contributors to it should really be advised to avoid confusion and frustration) that they had moved the thread, which I believe is NOT currently part of their duties.

Darrius Gothly wrote: Lemme ask ya's a question LlazarusLlong: When you call a company to obtain some form of customer service, and their delightful automated system offers you seven different options NONE of which seem to fit your trouble, which one do you choose? I NEVER choose an option. I always hold, silently, until a human answers. Those multiple option systems ALWAYS have a default to a human for those who don't have touchtone phones, or who are dumb (physically, not brainlessly) so they can't use voice recognition systems. It would be discrimination otherwise. So I get to talk to someone by doing nothing. (If I was dumb as in brainless, I would select Answers from the SL options, obviously, since that is what I want.)

tt sounds to me as if SL V2 is a non-starter. For a multiplicity of reasons.

TDD123 wrote: But that was about human rights. Not about volunteering without expectations. And your point is...? (By the way, human rights is a null concept; I would have thought that you would have appreciated that, given your instantiation here.) (Rights are privileges temporarily and arbitrarily allowed to the weak by the strong.)

o. She never actually bought a dress, or complained about it, but invented the whole story because she wanted attention here in GD, where she could clutter up the forum with nonsense which belongs in the Commerce forum.

They were both females of race (which race is of no concern) who were intransigent and did their best work sitting down.

Perhaps you should have corrected the original post, not mine, TED10U5. Especially if you are then going to correct your own correction. Have you stopped yet?

valerie Inshan wrote: Were we suposed to leave the OP without help because she isn't familiar with these fora? I do not think so. How DARE you suggest I didn't offer her help. I made two constructive posts, which, if acted upon would have enabled the OP to resolve their problem THEMSELVES. I am happy to hand people toilet paper, but I am damned if I am going to wipe their backsides for them!

valerie Inshan wrote: And finally, is this the wrong section? Maybe. But who cares? I do. I am sure others do as well. Including many who no longer contribute to GD - or indeed the forums generally - because they are a mess. And your attitude is being helpful; helpful to LL in propagating its lack of concern and unwillingness to act themselves.

Why is this thread in the GD forum not the Commerce - Wanted forum? Ignorance or exploitation?

Pamela Galli wrote: Wow, thats what I'm talkin bout -- not just talk, but action. The stickies got removed very soon after my own thread was instigated, suggesting such action was a necessary first step in cleaning up the forums. I am also waiting on a review of the forum topics so that it is easier for noobs and "experts" alike to be able to identify appropriate non-GD forums to dump their rubbish in. So do you (or anyone else) have any further requests for action that Llazarus might use his influential neurolinguistic techniques to effect?

valerie Inshan wrote: I have head Linden Lab is hiring. You may want to apply for a super-moderator job. I don't doubt you would do a fantastic work spending your time moving threads instead of bashing new residents looking for help. Now who's lame here? I wouldn't take anything less than Ebbe's job - which I hear on the grapevine might be up for grabs just after they stop using winter tees in California - that's golf courses, not shirts, by the way. It would be great to be paid to repeat Peter Gray's spintext ad nauseam, attend global conferences about virtual worlds (funny how the attendees all insist on actually BEING there, eh) and not tell anyone what you were actually doing because it was commercially confidential, up until the point the project was cancelled and sometimes beyond that. You also get to work a three day week, with frequent flyer bookings between LA and SF on Mondays and Fridays so your can enjoy regular long golfing weekends. Although I would make a super moderator, if I might be so immodest to comment. (As regards helping new residents, I think the "give a man a fish, feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, he can feed himself forever" advice applies; offer a lame man a crutch and he will limp longer than necessary.)

Tyros note that while this Swiss Penknife thread is becoming out of date (don't start petitioning Rod Humble on his Twitter feed, you won't get much joy) it is largely accurate and potentially of much assistance. Who knows, reference to these resources could mean that the General Discussion forum might not be bogged down with inappropriate threads asking for assistance in preventing their pets from starving to death.

. . . and yet another lame dog duck finds succour from the charitable inhabitants of the General Discussion forum, clogging it up with further detritus and deterring those who might wish to have a discussion from bothering to participate because they have to laboriously filter out the cavalcade of inappropriate threads which the moderators should be proactively removing..

Well, go back to the online marketplace and find out who you bought it from.

I suggest that you ask the person who sold it to you. This is General Discussions, not the PDSA.
