I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. ;-) A newbie thinking they know better than everyone else how to "fix" SL and using their first post to make non-sensical, or at least impractical, suggestions is hardly unusual but the OP makes too much sense for that (in an odd kind of way). Either it's brilliant satire or just ridiculously naive.

You are asking for help about a specific product: "zooby pool script". More than 99.9% of the millions* of things in SL are created by residents just like you and us. Unless someone happens to read this thread and also happens to have an idea of how the product works we are not going to have any idea how to help. For any specific product the first people you should contact are those that sold the thing to you and/or created it in the first place. ETA: I've just been nudged that this is probably some building tool for "Zooby babies". If that's the case you'll almost certainly have to contact them; that sort of specialised role-play thingy is not likely to get any useful responses here. ETAM: And now I've just seen your reply to Rolig confirming the above. Their support group or whatever is the place to go.

Shoutcast, as above. Bear in mind that your computer - and internet - has to stream the music to everyone who is listening. Upload (outgoing) is usually a fraction of your download speeds so for most home computers - especially if you're using the same connection for SL at the same time - even 10 people listening-in could be a real problem. (That's why streaming servers are different to file servers)

Eh? I though anim smooth always moved the texture in the prim/face/surface's local X direction (positive or negative). So the prim or whatever has to be rotated to get the desired direction in-world. @ OP - I'm a bit out of touch so Rolig may have an easy answer but this might need to go to the scripting forum (http://community.secondlife.com/t5/LSL-Scripting/bd-p/LSLScripting) so we can argue about it. We're only meant to give short answers here, not discuss the whole thing.

IvanBenjammin wrote: ... Most of the disadvantages of [Mesh] spring from people not building efficiently ... Yep, that's pretty much it. Everything IS mesh anyway, it's the way the graphics work. Prims just give you an easy way to make some standard mesh-models (eg; "a cube") in-world. The big advantage to those remains that they can always be edited in-world too, unlike a 'pure' mesh model.

This. Thanks, by the way. That's why I didn't bother to reply to Leslie.

Thank you for coming in to put the 'official' view of things :-) Anyone got any chance of getting a Linden to do the same thing? Not me, that's for sure ^^ People - we have the case for InBiz; what LL think of it is entirely up to them and ineffable. This thread is dead(ish) ... waits for necro.

If 'set scripts running' doesn't work then: Edit the eyes, look in the contents tab of the prim containing the script, open that, make sure 'running' is ticked and click the 'reset' button.

If you're using a wifi internet connection then try it with a cable instead - but connections are the major cause of SL problems. Please use Options > Edit against your post to tell us what you CAN see, what, if anything appears where you'd expect to see your avatar, your computer specs and internet connection details (ping time, etc. not personal details!). Without some sort of clue we've got nothing to go on to help you.

Amore Xofan, the listed owner of InBiz, has replied to my IM giving her a 'heads up' on this thread. Having read through it she says it's nothing to worry about ... and thanks for the advert :-)

The weekly stipend should be paid today (Tuesday), although exactly when varies I believe so you'll have to wait until midnight US Pacific time to be sure it's missing. The L$1,000 bonus is paid 45 days after you join if you chose the right membership and remain premium for that time.

Please stop typing in ALL CAPITALS Violet. Please also report any hate messages that have been sent to you; we don't need that sort of thing. While people are saying you're wrong in here I haven't seen any hate-speech. (But then, I'm skimming this and may have missed it. Not my job anyway; report any that you think are actionable, the mods will sort it out). ETA: I've just been in-world to have a look. I take it you're refering to the InWorldz/InBiz ATM place? No-one there but I sent an IM to the (offline) owner asking if they'd care to comment on this argument. Not my job to go blabbing to LL about it of course. LOL, if they gave us a way of talking to them I might mention it but since they don't, they can be sued for not meeting their legal anti-fraud requirements.

Nooo! Ah well, someone might be able to understand him there, even if Rolig and I can't. In-world, with a proper conversation, has to be a whole lot better than cryptic one-liners in the forums though.

Short answer: Because you might be a money-launderer. Longer answer: The exchange has limits that increase as you are in SL longer and use them more. It's a measure to help prevent fraud/illegal activities. Apparently. https://secondlife.com/my/lindex/describe-limits.php?

Erm, I think we're fine to tell people where to find specific things they ask for - after all, that's not us suggesting it. Nevertheless, see my reply to the OP

My last suggestion was to contact Hebrew-speaking groups in-world where he could actually have a conversaion.

Ohh noooes, the sky is falling! Again! Have you any idea the number of times people have predicted the end of the world - real or virtual? While both have their problems they were still there last time I looked (re: Bishop Berkeley). You're quite right about the problems and support, of course. Not about the 'modern computer' bit though. No idea what you mean about LL going out of their way to "make" it incompatible, although they certainly don't make it easy. In any case this is 10 year old software with lots of patches. It is what it is, I'm afraid.

Pearl Loaf? Good story and sorry to break in but to answer your earlier post: Czari Zenovka wrote: PeterCanessa Oh wrote: The target audience was mildly interested but land-owners didn't want it at all so we never got to 'Phase 2' which would have included detailed wind-shadowing, squalls and eddies*.

[ETA: " industrialisation was merely feudalism with a monetary exchange system rather than barter" - you're replying too fast for me to keep up! :-)] Eh? While I sort of know what you mean I don't really think you can equate industrialism (or capitalism or consumerism) with feudalism, per se. The big difference comes with the growing individual independence within those systems - from none at all to choice of place, to choice of lifestyle, to choice of phone (to put it whimsically, which I am wont to do). Concomitant with freedom from the land has been rising social mobility and participation in the political system. It is inteersting - although I don't know what, if anything, it means - that (in the UK) the places with greatest trades-union support are the ones with the least mobility in physical, economic or social terms. Perhaps someone knows a bit more about that? (Apart from military and computers my own studies have been in political, not social, economics). Unfortunately, I think, the collapse of consumerism seems to have us sliding back to early Victorian moralities which seek to restrict the poors' opportunities and then punish them for being not buying the latest toys, "Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy **bleep** we don't need." (Fight Club), as someone remarked here recently. [Like Medhue I worked to be better, in the Army (and got computer skills and qualifications for it). Those made me rich(ish) once I'd left. Then I chucked it in to mess about on yachts and now I live on almost nothing on an organic farm, which is a bit like - but isn't - a commune. Talk to me about social and economic mobility, hehe]

As we all know (ie; what follows is highly contentious and partially tongue-in-cheek) the only country that lost WW2 was Great Britain. After the war the USA took one the most liberal lines of any country and boomed throughout the 1950s and, of course, the 1960s. Most of Europe followed a 'social democratic' principle and got on well enough once they'd rebuilt everything. Great Britain still lived with the heirarchical, Empire, mindset, followed Keynesian economics and didn't even end rationing until 1954. The Soviet Union followed an even more controlled and centrally-planned economy ... enough said. ====== Amusingly enough, while I was checking the date rationing ended I found this quote on wikipedia, "... with many British men still mobilised in the armed forces, an austere economic climate, and a centrally-planned economy under the post-war Labour government, resources were not available to expand food production and food imports. Frequent strikes by some workers (most critically dock workers) made things worse." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationing_in_the_United_Kingdom) Which says it all really.
