Rotate your screen 90 degrees.

That's ridiculous. She is much too short and her boobs aren't big enough. It'll never catch on . . .

Hey Dakota, nice to see a Linden in the forums. By the way, did you have to log in several times because you were logged out by the system, and have to try several times before you could finish a post? Or perhaps those things don't happen to Lindens, which might explain why LL does not seem interested in fixing those annoying problems which recent "development/maintenance" work on the forums has caused...

Maybe those who want SL to endure should just give lots of money to merchants for nothing. It achieves the same end.

For clarification, I non-loosely define a professional as any individual who does something for money. As any good dictionary confirms. Especially since graphic design is not a profession, which obviates the other meaning.

I don't have any friends. By choice.

I go away for a couple of weeks and these forums fall apart. Has anybody managed to obtain any Linden comment regarding the continuing problem, information that is sadly missing from the JIRA, or are they laughing about their most recent deterrent to participation being so annoying?

You sound like Ebbe voicing Peter Gray's words in the corporate attempt to flush your scorned "hobbyists" out of SL2. Do you not realise that 99% of the content creators in SL started as "hobbyists", whatever they might consider their status now? And why on earth would non-loser "professionals" bother creating in a world that, even if you give it 200% of the effort that you would a normal "professional" designer job, barely allows you to scrape a living?

I see that in my temporary absence - yes, Jordan is very nice at this time of year, thank you for asking - people have reverted to using General Discussions instead of the Answers section (or Technical, or Land, or . . . ) as exemplified by this thread. Ho hum, the Mods are going to be getting fed up with me again, asking for transfer of inappropriate threads from GD to all points of the compass; I would be grateful if others could avoid offering their cut and paste answers here and suggest that more accurate and prompt responses are likely to be offered in more relevant sections of the forums where the charity ladies work. Thank you for your attention.

You could always go over to the real General Discussions forum and initiate a thread about a "hypothetical" situation (perhaps which might have happened to "a friend") which you would find unacceptable, and then provoke comments from others, where they might express opinions on anti-social behaviour, and suggest that some such thing might have happened to you and invite interested parties to contact you for the full gossip. Be warned that you may not find everybody there in agreement with what you consider unacceptable behaviour, so be prepared to argue your case.

And several pied-noirs hassling customers trying to sell them "leather" ware made from genuine human skin from the Congo. And a redundant middle-aged English advertising copywriter sipping pastis while making notes for his fourteenth book about "charming" French plumbing and even more "charming" French plumbers..

Amethyst Jetaime wrote: He also said “It could be years before you decide to use this new thing instead of SL”. "Could" is a wonderful weasel word much loved by spinmasters such as Peter Gray, who could have written the script Ebbe seemed to have such a hard time reading, and could presage entirely meaningless words. For example, he could have said "LL could keep SL open for twenty years", or "LL could close SL down on 1 June 2015" without committing himself or the Lab to anything at all, and without actually lying. Statements like that are completely content free, and could be happily ignored as wasting potentially useful cognitive time. {Although that could probably apply to 90% of what he said at VWBPE.] PS People in SL think nothing of complaining about paying 1-2 L$ even as much as 10 L$ for something that doesn't get delivered or work as they expected or be replaced if they delete it or . . .

Medhue Simoni wrote: It doesn't matter where they collect it from. Oh, but it does. Administratively, a transaction tax is a nightmare, and potentially avoidable. Taxing aggregated receipts is much simpler and more reliable, particularly if you are going to have to "register" to be able to make sales, which seems likely under the new order.

Since we're masochists, we'll tap feet in excitement until your progeniture comes on line! Aww, how grand that willl be! Unfortunately my wife issued them with rose tinted spectacles at an early age while I was out digging money from computer dumps. So they are quite nice. Except to me. Unless they need a chauffeur.
