you paid $25.00 for a book about SL? My local library doesnt have it, neither do the surrounding ones. seems a shame that a paperback book is $25.

Duuuuudes and Dudettes!!!! Get your ears ready to go back to the time when 3 cans of Aqua net were not enough! when green and black zoobas were the look, and baggy sweat shirts and skin tight stretch pants were hot as hell! thats right, we are going back to the 80's! when guys wore as much make up as girls and hair bands rocked the air waves.. join me and my Host Aislin Blackheart for the best in the 80's. $500L on the board for the best in 80's wear. only at Bikers Rock N Blues

I still have real world money to buy fancy things from the market place, so I'm good with like more popular and higher quality things I guess. I wasn't aware you had to be a month or two old to be able to get a job in SL. It did not state that in the Wiki, sadly though. I'm unable to even start today, so I may just wait overtime then and get to play the game for that time period. It's kind of funny, because other people who are also new began posting things like this too... Hmm.. Its not a LL rule, its the club owners rule. Most club owners want good looking knowledgeable avatars to work for them. I would definitely suggest that you spend your free time in SL exploring. Learn how things work and hang out at a few clubs. IM me if you want some place ideas or if you want to hang at the Club i DJ at. ETA: we are also looking for Hosts and dancers, but we do want at least 30 days old.

In the reading I have been doing there is such mixed opinions on the policing of second life - it seems to be a very complex topic. Some acamdemics think that many of the crimes that can happen on second life - copy righting, violence, money laundering etc need to be stopped by Linden Labs by altering the codes of the game space - so people are unable to commit these activities, however feedback I have got from a lot of residents is that they don't want second life to be policed - it is a game, and as people can make things on Second Life and have the rights to what they make they are in fact co-creaters of Second Life - which suggests self-policing - leaving people to themselves is the best option for second life - as you say there is an abuse report in place already. However, as real money is put into second life, copy righting becomes a more serious issue - one which could involve real life jurisdiction. The whole governing question becomes more serious! Thank you for your feedback! to reply to the boldened part... there are US laws in place to cover copyright infringement.. The violence in SL isnt real. Should WoW be policed if a troll wacks my elf? and money laundering?:!?!? in SL? How?!?! to make it feasible the exchange rate would have to be much much lower and your sales would have to be through the roof. As already stated, LL has a system of rules and regs that we have to abide by.

12,000 was a busy Friday night when i joined. now i see 70,000+ on Friday nights. so, i would say it's gotten better.

This is just a thought, but you could IM the creator inworld and ask them to sell it to you directly.

Don't encourage them to create surveys!!!!!!

Yep, now you can discount everything else I've said also, and feel good that you learned everything you need to. and that statment you just made would be this.... COMPOSITION/DIVISION You assumed that one part of something has to be applied to all, or other, parts of it. Often when something is true for the part it does also apply to the whole, but the crucial difference is whether there exists good evidence to show that this is the case. Because we observe consistencies in things, our thinking can become biased so that we presume consistency to exist where it does not. Example: Daniel was a precocious child and had a liking for logic. He reasoned that atoms are invisible, and that he was made of atoms and therefore invisible too. Unfortunately, despite his thinky skills, he lost the game of hide and go seek.

Here's just a few issues: - It is terribly slow That all depends on your web browser. its very fast for me. - The search functon is very poor and usually returns unrelated results Thats due to keyword spam, although it does return merchant names as well which does need fixing. - Sorting product lines is very difficult (I.e. I often have to skip through loads of female products before I come across men's products. You should allow merchants to categorise their products more specifically so that consumers can find what they're looking for If you are looking for mens clothing, limit it to apparel>mens.... - It looks like you've borrowed some of Ebay's interface design concepts. I suggest taking a look at a few e-commerce CMS systems out there. There's many features which you could borrow, many of which would greatly enhance the marketplace - Make it easier to get to the marketplace. Typing in "http://marketplace.secondlife.com" or by clicking through the links on secondlife.com is just too tedious one link... Shopping.. or you could bookmark it. like most people do.

For a more light post, i give you these words of wisdom. Ladies and Gentlemen of the SecondLife class of 2012, I have a few words of wisdom to impart before you leave the Welcome area. Wear an AO. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, an AO would be it. The long term benefits of AO's have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis or reliable then my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice....now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your newbness. Oh, nevermind, you won't understand the power and beauty of your newbness until they've faded, but trust me in 3 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how terrible you really looked. Don't worry about the future, or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve a scripting equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind: the kind that blindsides you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. Go to one sim every day that scares you. Don't be reckless with other people's hearts; don't put up with people who are reckless with yours. Fly. Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive; forget the insults. (if you succeed in doing this, tell me how). Keep your old love notecards. Deform. Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your Secondlife. The most interesting people I know, didn't know at 18 what they wanted to do with their lives; some of the most interesting 60 year olds I know still don't. Maybe you'll partner, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have prim babies, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce after 3 weeks; maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's. Enjoy your Avatar: use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it; it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own. Dance...even if you have no where to do it but in the middle of a Gorean mall. Read the directions (if you can ever find them). Understand that friends come and go, but that a precious few you should hold on to. Work hard to bridge the gaps and geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were a newb. Live in Midian City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Avilion once, but leave before it makes you soft. Randomly Teleport on the map. Accept certain inalienable truths: Teir fees will rise, CEOs will philander, you too will get old; and when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were a Newb, Teir fees were reasonable, CEOs were noble, and Newbs respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you find a money tree, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse, but you never know when either one might run out. Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you reach your 4th rezzday, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia; dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal--wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts, and recycling it for more than it's worth. But trust me, on the AO.

i have been taught that SL is a very dangerous place for some people. Those that have a RL need for companionship and can not separate SL from RL can and will get very very hurt. i found this out the hard way. Some people use it a dating site, which its not. One should always keep in mind this simple adamantium clad fact... You know nothing for certain about the person you are with in SL, unless you have met them in RL face to face. Don't get bent if your perfect guy/gal turns out to be a gender bender. If the av is what you want, go for it. Don't fall in RL love with your SL partner. find someone in RL. ETA: i realized how melancholy that was so I'm going to add. I have also met some of the most amazing people and the most unusual as well.

i was thinking more along the lines of....

Fezs are cool. So are bow-ties. just sayin.

Could you clear up a point for me though. DO you mean you are a premium member or that you buy $L? 99.9% of us Pay in some way in SL. If you consider it a game, that may be part of the problem. Online video games rarely lag or have issues. SL is not an online video game.

how much are you willing to shell out for custom work of that detail?

I am involved in a few different types of RP in SL, and in one of them we had a L33t typer/speaker that wanted to join in. There were two of us there, myself and the Arch mage. I suppose you could call me a prig but the conversation went a bit like this: L33t: HIHIHI, can i join in? me: ((sure.)) L33t: k wlk u2u n says hi L33t: hru? im n elf. ru? me: /me walks over to the strange speaking female elf and shakes his head after looking carefully for head wounds: Poor thing must have been hit with a confusion spell. Archmage: Oh dear, perhaps I should take this opportunity to teach you how to disspell magic. L33t: wht r u tlkn bout? no1 cast NEthing on me. me: She is getting worse, Mistress. Perhaps you should begin. L33t: u r nuts! cul8tr. LOSERS!!!11 With that she teleported away and we rofled.. err Rolled around laughing.

im gonna guess you are an alt since you dont have a MP store and your inworld profile is blank. what is it with all of these scared merchants posting with alts? show some hutzspa and post with your main.

not sure where i would find where my items are in relevance.. also. you have 666 posts :matte-motes-evil::smileylol:

Jeanne Do you watch any TV? oh wait, you use the internet, better question. Do you think the execs at the ISP do any real work? Do you think ANY exec does real work? Welcome to the real world. Big business runs the world, always has, always will. I put $L into SL when i want. I try to earn enough as a DJ and creator to pay for my house and stream. Some moths i do, some i dont. but i dont whine and complain about it.

I am the DJ manager at a club. My av is 6.32 feet tall. I was told last night by a newish SLer in the club that " they dont allow kids in here, you need to leave before you get banned." After telling them, politely of course, that i was the DJ manager and was over 6 feet tall and and ELF to boot they informed me that "LL did not allow children on Adult land." I chuckled and asked them to show me where it stated that, knowing full well that unless there is a potential for sex in the area child avs are allowed anywhere in SL. They told me it was common knowledge and to "look it up for my lazy A$$ self." /me shakes his head. newbs ah yes, forgot to mention, i am ALWAYS the shortest guy there, usually the shortest av there, until recently when we had a slew of "RL" sized avs start coming.
