You may well laugh ye heathens! The amount of pixel bling, lewd dancing, vile cussing, unrestrained violence & restrained boinking is truly lamentable :smileysad: and that's just at the welcome centres Gor'ddamn it. The whole concept of paying actual money for virtual space is just totally, absolutely, morally devoid & corrupt. The good lawd made that virtual space 2 you know. *nods-> frowning at u ^~ I have also (after being led astray by long term SL devotees), consumed many pixel majik mushrooms and huffed through acre upon acre of virtual maryhoo-whaana. Fortunately (as u can tell) It's hasnt affected me one iota. I have finally formed the opinion that SL should be renamed to: Lucifers Life... or wife, depending on your gender. Gawd.. us all. Ps: I'm off to gods facebook page to dob you all in :smileylol:

KittyCats is still mine and many others' N° 1 fave even after 2 and 1/2 years of existance for many reasons but i'll just post this link for those who haven't come across them yet : http://kittycats.biz/forum/ (over 9K members and still growing) If anyone would just like to try them out to see, theres still the free Firestorm birthday Firekitty available on some of the KC market sims : http://www.firestormviewer.org/happy-3rd-anniversary/ permapetted so no food required, and you get a free starter box with the deal in case tempted ^^ Otherwise i haven't been smitten by any other breedables until i came across this one : http://oceaniabreedables.com The six woman Oceania dev team have all been in breedables and they've got together to produce what seems a very promising number with a bucketload of very innovative and fun features for ex.: they'll hunt , sometimes find food and other items very usefull to the game. Back and sibling breeding so we won't need armies to get somewhere. Beta hasn't started yet but they do produce free plushies quite often and what was just a fun free gift has allready turned into a full blown craze for many, the rarer ones fetching decent prices allready. They've open beta'd one of the features, crafting so we ge to enjoy that for a week when they put it on. Otherwise no pre-ordering, no pre-release money grabbing at all in fact which bodes well. I'd say this may well be the next biggie, i'll be in on this one for sure.

I'm hoping that Alidia or Hermit may look in here or anyone else who owns or has managed to track down these old textures. I've at last managed to find a couple of the sidewalk textures i'v e been coveting for 2 years but would like to find more of the set, especially the crackhouse sidewalks. Raki Barbosa seems to have the one i'm really needing at Lost Dawn but he's never around :p And of course anything else scrummy i may not have come across yet. I've also found quite a few of Stinky Queso's if anyone is searching for these.

My sim having poofed a couple of hours ago, i thought i'd share this info with those who don't yet realise it. I find out have to wait until 8 am SLT for someone to get to work to (hopefully) fix this. I just can't believe it's not possible to provide at least some basic 24/24 maintenance service. Too dumbstruck to get angry ... yet ^^

Well nothing much seems to be fixed as of today, in fact even more issues than before for me and some of my friends. Get ready for more fun and games today guys

AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB on Mac/Os Lion using Phœnix seems to run fine for me ** 2,7 GHz Intel Core i5 4 Go 1333 MHz DDR3

But Peggy thats their job, they are paid to do it and hiccups happen all the time there. And i doubt very much if the idea of a bunch of sl junkies going through virtual withdrawal (because believe me, thats the way we must seem to most of them) for a few hours raises more than a slight smirk from the grid monkeys - and who knows maybe there was an important match coming up or something so the issue was resolved fast. The customer is'nt king anymore and certainly not at LL. Sorry to sound cynical but thats the way it blows these days. Thanks anyhow guys :matte-motes-wink:

Ok so who forgot to fill the generator tank again huh ?

I know this is a long shot but are there any "oldies" out there know where i can get a full set of Stinky's textures ? I've managed to get my hands on a couple and the quality is excellent, dying to get the rest. Would be very gratefull thanx :)

For Lion issues, take your pick : https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion You can also see here that safari certainly doesn't work fine for almost everyone. And sure, when Apple starts going the Windows way it absolutely is a big crunch for many, especially those who have been with mac since the OS 8/9 days and further back even. Unfortunately yes i do understand only too well how free market economics work. Ethic, and integrity have become four letter words. And as for quality, who gives a **** anymore. Anyhow our fabulous free enterprising perverse vampire of an economic system is teetering on the brink of auto-destruction and very soon will be no more (hehe) ... oooh ! the wailing and gnashing of teeth will be deafening ... but that of course is another subject . In order to attract more of the market it would have been possible to level up in many ways instead of levelling down like this. Too many features are eyewash and if you want your mac to run comfortably you soon realize that the standard 4GB ram will need updating to 8. I don't know about other countries but in France, when purchasing a new mac on Apple site it's clearly stated that in the package one receives snow leopard installation CD but instead of this you receive with Lion pre-installed and no CD, and when you contact sales dept. you're informed that if you want snow then go buy it. (In fact Apple possessed more like 5% of the market about 10 years ago, not sure where it's at now.) Sorry you took my post as a personal attack but it covers just a very few of the issues i have discussed with other mac user friends, notedly those in the pre-press and printing industry.

Exactly the kind of observation which impedes the progress of fundamental research

His schema may well impress the layman but in fact in fact my experience as a top quantum physicist enables me to perceive that the wrong side of toast has been buttered

1.Take 1 cat as this has a-quantive properties as in the tunnel effect and falls on it's feet whatever the situation. 2. Buy some bread, preferably grey as this contains the most catalyzing agents, and effectuate an extremely precise toasting of. 3. Apply a coat of butter, being very careful to butter the right side (extremely important). 4. Fix toast to cat with sticky tape. 5. Throw cat in the air. 6. OMG It doesn't fall !! AMAZING !! Murphy's (Sod's) law is cancelled with the cat's properties, thus creating rotation vector W = BxC ! where B is the Butter vector and C the Cat vector as defined by Maxwell. 7. Install a dynamo system on cat, you now have a new inexhaustible source of free energy !! eg. in vivo : http://desencyclopedie.wikia.com/wiki/Fichier:20061009-tartine-chat-antigravite.gif  

Yep. Absolutely no wonder Lion has been dubbed OSX Vista. And the big crunch is that it's now imposed on new macs without even having Snow installed as option : if you wan't Snow and don't posses the CD you actually have to buy it and reinstall. Biggest joke, it even glitches with safari. If i'd wanted a horrible interface like that i'd have bought an Ipad. And as far as the design of the actual material goes WTF are they thinking about producing a keyboard that needs cleaning practically every day and as for the new mouse it's a total disaster, thank god for Logitec ! So now it's all totally about appearance and snob appeal. Apple has betrayed it's faithfull pro users and gone for the mindless mass market. Used to be the most incredibly solid, functional, dependable systems on the market and a joy to use. It never, ever let me down. Dammit the first iMac i learned in off by heart less than a week while friends were still floundering with Windows after a year of pain and frustration. Apple has become a market whore that i find no longer defendable. R.I.P.
