The fact that CHUI almost went live with out a chat bar and that we had to explain to them why the Chat Bar was needed was proof enough. What's a chat bar?! It's a mechanism for stopping people from talking to you, much like muting. No it isn't, silly me, it's the online equivalent of a singles bar. Alec - to deliberately misunderstand

Alec - as I say, to use it as a measure of pretentiousness; I also use it as a measure of struthitis

Something in SL not working? Surely not! And it won't get fixed of course, because everybody is working on SL V2 . . . Alec - it when a plan comes together

Although you didn't see through the obvious falsehoods in the first response post in this thread, so maybe your powers aren't that great, or don't work on electronically distributed communications. Alec - to puncture

Are you admitting to believing something Jumpie said? I didn't think anyone with an IQ in double digits (or more, but there aren't many of them here) did. Alec - to wax nostalgic about the SC2 cornfield occasionally

I turn the sound off Alec - partial sensory deprivation

Goth im Himmel Alec - bilingual punning, especially when ESLers do it accidentally

Also, I've met a couple cool Swedes in SL who I wouldn't have met without this platform. ;-) He didn't really respond to anyone here, just a few snippy comebacks. Plenty of questions were asked of him. No answers were given. That's what happens when you give your password to Peter Gray. Alec - Danes more than Swedes; they are Great, not vegetables

Would you like me to cut and paste the original link, KM? Alec - to give answers in the right places

You are not allowed to buy Lindens. It's in their employment contract that they are not permitted to become slaves to ordinary users, just Ebbe. Alec - to put people straight about these sorts of things

For every other Flag in the World was Flying when they went to war an Killed Didnt kinds of Ppl . For Example , the American Flag has Killed , Germans, Jews ,Japanese , Africans , English .

Goth! Alec - to lisp

Qie Niangao wrote: An eagle eye across the street spotted an article about Project Sansar in Variety, of all places. This dramatically changes my perceptions of Variety -- and of Project Sansar. From the Variety article: "Why spend a lot of money to build a presence in Second Life if it could only be visited by only 70 people at a time? Project Sansar wants to solve this issue by allowing for unlimited copies of an experience. In other words, instead of just opening one restaurant, McDonalds could open hundreds or even thousands of eateries in the new virtual world, with just one customer in each." Alec - to change things, just a little bit

Prokofy Neva wrote: That got superceded by the World Wide Web My test for pretentiousness is this word. Surprise, surprise, you fail, massively. Have you ever thought about being a journalist, or a blogger perhaps? You have the right misqualifications. Alec - only to use difficult words that I know how to spell

Luckily my real life name is Mary Jane so I get all the free shoes I want. My real life surname is Russell, but there isn't a great trade in brown paper in SL, and I can't be bothered chasing cows. Alec - a ridiculous question for Friday; but there's not enough drama in this one

Vick Forcella wrote: I expect that a space owner can ask a fee from the visitor, 15 minutes free and then 1L$ each 10 minutes, and LL can tax that. As with most taxes, that sounds voluntary. Alec - a black economy

I have read a load of SF stories that feature virtual worlds in the last five years (Yes, I believe there is a competition going on, and I just won the Lazarus Long award) and all of them, even the worst, are much more interesting than what you'll find in SL. Alec - David Foster Wallace's short stories at the moment

I would have one small extremely ugly dog on show. It would be a shih tzu Alec - a pun

Wolf Eriksen wrote: Does the Lab plan to provide serious informations in more languages than english in future and around sansar? I am a member of the german community, and i know a lot of guys in spanish communties. And a lot of them have problems with english, especially when things become complex. So Lindens, take some money in the hand and look for guys who can assist you in talking to communities having other native backgrounds than the anglosaxon. I know you can, because for promotion and advertising you have already found a solution. Wolf, LL doesn't make any sense in English, so it's not surprising that ESLers might have problems. Are you good at identifying lies, half-truths and hyperbole in another language? Probably not. Alec - to work out which answers Ebbe has given and which Peter Grey has written for him

LL will set up SL V2 (I refuse to call it a ridiculous name like Sansar) and when they think they have enough new members - at an aggregate fee which they deem adequate - they will pull the plug on SL by offering inducements to migrate (although you won't be able to take your stuff with you) with an implicit threat that if you don't you might find you have nowhere to go. Alec - to point out that is Microsoft's "migration" policy, and Ebbe has learned nothing new since he failed there

Maybe you are used to this sort of thing on your side of the Atlantic, but we expect better reportage over here. Alec - the BBC mainly, although they have recently been developing a "globally inclusive" attitude which debases their historic reputation
