I have reread everything that Ebbe and his PR mouthpieces have said about SL2 and I can't find anywhere where he commits to making the new product available for free, even in part, as SL is now. So how much is migration going to cost? To say nothing of the higher levels of subscription that are bound to be imposed.

I, like everybody else here and across the globe, whether they have access to sophisticated information technology or not, have spent twenty-four hours of every day of my existence in the real world. That's not a generalisation; it's a fact.

Like many here, and excluding those, like you, suffering from delusions of adequacy, comprehension of your apparently random outpourings seems impossible without giving them considerably more attention than they could possibly deserve. Or perhaps it's because it's necessary to be in a similar chemically deranged state to understand your posts. Oh, and you must mean distinguished, rather than extinguished, since I have certainly not been put out in any sense.

Actually Phil, I was trying to find posts that you had made before your dementia set in. I went back several years, but failed in my quest.

Nope. If you don't understand simple english, then try a forum that's dedicated to your native language. I understand simple, moderate, and complex English. I can also find the shift key. What I have problems with is people posting their confused thoughts without first putting them into some sort of comprehensible order.

Phil Deakins wrote: And yet another typical response from someone who is defeated Your insistence on repeating the same nonsense does not make it anything but nonsense. Nevertheless, I am sure that you are pleasing some student who has come to "this forums" in search of material regarding whether SL might be a useful environment to encourage the senile to try to communicate their confusion.

No. But it never was. Unless you set very low standards for "friendship".

Ty Fierenza wrote: How about rewriting the code That's an idea! Why don't you email Ebbe and suggest that he starts an SL Version 2 development project that includes that feature.

Don't be careful. Just don't trust anyone.

Ignorance is no defence. Otherwise everybody else here would be innocent.

"Real Virtual Reality"? Is it me?

The UK tax authorities are interested in the source of income, and in associating the relevant expenses with those different sources. In this context, income from self-employment is just one of the categories that has to be reported, and can exist concurrently with income from employment as well as income from a range of other sources; for example, in my case I have considerable income from several trust funds, tax on which is paid (at a minimal rate) in the Seychelles, so I - well, my accountants - simply have to report the essential figures to HMRC who presumably fume at their prospective pensions not being subsidised by any contributions from me. I will admit that it's a bit of a nuisance having to visit the Seychelles several times a year to satisfy some regulation or other, but it's something I have come to terms with over the years, and it keeps my golfer's sun-tan topped up. Despite the seemingly threatening wording of the HMRC, there is actually no compulsion to pre-register as self-employed, but you may find yourself penalised if you do not pay the appropriate National Insurance Contributions in a timely fashion - and once again you are wrong, Phil, because paying a higher level of the wrong type of Contribution is no barrier to HMRC action.

If you are living in Greece, then just demand to have your legal liabilities negotiated away, and threaten not to pay anyway - but insist on continuing to receive any and all free handouts available.

Phil Deakins wrote: Here in the UK such forms aren't needed. We simply itemise our income on the Tax Return form. It doesn't need to be backed up with paperwork. They aren't going to complain if we declare income that we have no evidence for Wrong. As soon as you introduce a new and unusual source of income of any significance - which can not be easily validated by reference to the paying authority - HMRC are likely to investigate further (particularly if there is a suggestion that the income might be derived from foreign sources and is therefore potentially subject to double taxation rules, or even ...gasp... money laundering) and demand proof of origin and that you have not understated it, a practice that has discommoded many naive little businessmen in the UK. Tax investigations are fun, but not for the subject of them.

Phil Deakins wrote: I Imagine that tax rules/laws are more or less the same throughout the world Wrong. Dementia turns you into even more of a jingoistic little englander, apparently.

So can just move in with them (: + can remember when Jack Linden had a sim. And sometimes he forgot to set to no auto return. This one time he went away for a holiday or something. Dunno exactly but he never came back for quite a while people came from all over and made a whole village and a forest and waterfall and everything. Was quite a bustling little community after about a week then he came back and we all get our stuff returned lol. The big meanie (: There is almost nothing left of the Linden Village. Kind of sad. Why would you say that?

Phil Deakins wrote: LlazarusLlong wrote: Phil Deakins wrote: You don't read this forums much do you, or spend much time inworld. Wrong and wrong. And I'll throw in another wrong regarding your inability to be able to type even a short post without egregious errors of presentation. I presume your senility is accelerating, although I dare not hope that it will prevent you from continuing to parade your ludicrous opinons until LL closes this forums down in conjunction with the "upgrade" to SL V2. That's a typical response from someone who knows they've been defeated. Better luck next time However many people insist that a zebra is just a horse who is a fanatical supporter of Juventus does not make it true. Just because the uneducated believe in a "law of averages" does not make a coin more or less likely to come up heads or tails in any one throw. Determinedly repeating your ignorance merely serves to emphasise it. I have noticed that the "wisdom of crowds" does not apply in this forums either.

Phil Deakins wrote: LlazarusLlong wrote: It looks like a tehrat more to me. tehrat? English not your native language? Apparently, it's a well-known medical fact that the ability to identify sarcasm is one of the first cognitive functions to be lost in senile degeneration. Omission of verbs is another characteristic.
