This is the norm, certainly not the anomaly. Jut ask Lillie! And a few hundred others who post their whines, moans, and who want others to *feel* sorry for them 24/7. Welcome to SLF GD.

I can imagine scary scenarios that are more likely to happen, that none us have control over, that would concern me more. I don't see how SL as we know it could be successful if we started to steal your stuff. I certainly don't see a business model based on stealing stuff that could last very long...so I don't really see the logic in this conversation. It sounds scary to some of you but how it could really become a real problem I don't really know. It's so good to see you have a sense of proportion and humor, too.

I suspect they're holding that back for appearances sake but as a fellow resident I'm going to say it: I think you're out of line here. You're taking it way too personal when he tries to be gracious and engage with us. Funny, I felt that way about Trinity's post, and a few others as well.

Well my story is a happy story about the Grady's. So here goes the story of a lovely lady who was mother to three very lovely girls. All of them had hair of gold, like their mother, the youngest one in curls. Now here's the story of a man named Grady who was busy with three boys all his own. They were four men living all together, yet they were all alone. Till one day when the lady met this fellow; and they knew it was much more than just a hunch that this group would somehow form a family. That's the way they became the Grady bunch. Yes, that's the way they became the Grady bunch.

Ebbe Linden wrote: Agreed. I've only had one interaction with the Marketing team here so far...but "why does it suggest it's a dating site" and "what do we do to specifically target different segments in different ways" were my first questions. I'll learn more as I work more with the team... Someone wrote in a diffferent thread: LL is in the communications, not information technology business; the latter is a facilitator, not the raison d'etre. And the main problem - which the marketing/community management don't seem to have grasped - is that there is no single community, but a plethora of globally dispersed multi-cultural, multi-lingual, multi-interest minorities, all of whom will feel oppressed if a non-existent majority is addressed. Marketing people, in my experience, seem to feel uncomfortable if they can't identify a single satisfactory message. That's the crux of the continuing problem. I don't think Ebbe turning up in the Forums to be blasted with demands is going to be the answer, but I am not sure what is. That's HIS problem to solve. However, I am suggesting that perhaps instead of asking him for instant solutions we should be asking him "What would you like from us?" In case you missed it, I found it carried some good insight.

Sometimes there's the feeling that the residents here are treated like little children, incapable of rational thought and that may be the case for some. Do not underestimate the collective experience though. Not only will some residents "think" they know product management, some will be experts at it, along with I.T. Consultants, systems architects, programmers, 3D artists, marketeers, sales execs and yes... CEO's and scratch golfers. Communication - what a concept! This^^. PS I took the liberty to add to the qualifications.

Silvertrod wrote: Oh well now I feel silly for asking for something that already exists but can't learn if you don't ask the question I suppose. Thanks for the letting me know that its possible to do the land tier transfer Storm Clarence. Well then ask your question in the ANSWERS section of the forum. Why bother the CEO? Is it a sense of entitlement? Is this the Obama generation . . . ?

Silvertrod wrote: Allow Linden home owners to transfer their existing land tier they have to one of these empty Linden owned plots of land elsewhere. The Linden homes are a nice starting home for when I had absalutely no idea what I was doing at all. But that said it would be nice to be able to build or place my own version of a home on a empty plot. But you can do this already. Enjoy.

I think it indicative of the SL world we live in. Older SL'ers felt a connection with Philip, and probably rightly so as he was a likeable dude and SL was still a novelty . SL is no longer a novelty and Philip is not here holding everyone's hand so some throw a tantrum to get attention from the CEO. I see some of the LL staff get involved, and then I see how some lay waste to them the moment they do.

Jer Straaf wrote: I am pretty clear on one thing, the author of this post has never studied formal reasoning! You say a bunch of stuff and then provide us with a "conclusion" that is completely unsupported by the "argument" you put forth. Just stand up and say it: "I hate Linden Lab, I hate Second Life and I hate, well, everything!" That's all I saw in this post. Again, why all the dancing about? Just say it and spare us the invalid reasoning, you don't need reasoning to be negative and hateful. I certainly didn't read any of this ^^ in the post. Perhaps you just have an axe to grind with the author? Post to the post and not the poster. It's not becoming.

This is a repost of a post taken from the feed of Crap Mariner. It 'begs the question" so I wanted to introduce it to a wider audience. "So, after reading all these posts from folks who have done the meet-and-greets with Ebbe (and his flapper Pete), I'm still not clear on one thing: Why after all these years is a CEO doing the job of a Community Relations/Communications/Customer Relations Manager? (And, I suppose, who will do that once he gets busy doing his actual job?) If he goes silent like Rod did and nobody is there to handle these community relations issues real-time (as opposed to Pete "I'll get back to you" Linden), then it is just as much a failure as if the CEO had to clean the toilets at the Battery Street Office because there was no janitor. Everybody has their dead horses to beat. Everybody has their wishes and dreams and hopes that they will project to any guy who sits in that Daddy (oops, I meant CEO) chair. The fact that this buck has been passed all the way up to this guy means SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY, FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG."

Dillon chimed in twice trying to establish a separation from what OBR is and what Dillon thinks and wants us to think it is. So with both posts she tried to discredit Wooja. Dillon failed. (Two typical posts where the response was to the poster and not the post) Tsk, tsk Dillon.

Perhaps yes, Laskya, but the OP only had 1 post when I responded. I ain't Merlin the wizard. PS And it was, imo, a very humorous 1st post. So I lol'ed. May I call you Lassie?

I am on Linux and use non-free Nvidia driver for my gpu. Of course I guess there's also some implemented graphics drivers in the kernel but those are low level 2D drivers for office stuffz. And then, if you are totally hardcore and politically correct, you can use the open source alternate Nouveau drivers but they won't stack up to the original Nvidia ones. As for windows: download the driver, install it and be done with. Similar to Linux, really. And almost as easy. /facepalms ALL drivers are written for the kernel. Whether they be implemented as LKM's or not. They are not implemented in the OS. That's all.

Theresa Tennyson wrote: And I would suggest that you research the OP's post history, noting also who is following their posts like an imprinted duckling, before feeding the troll. I enjoy a sense of humor. The OP had only one post when I responded on a different thread. This was his third. Are you suggesting something else? Cooja . . . explain

It shows. On the desktop there will soon be more Linux users than MacOS. For every iPad or iPhone a iMac or iBook loses its wings. :smileyindifferent: Apple was never, ever a producer of IT equipment. Never.

SL is a place on the internet where Jumpman thinks he is da kang.
