Hi Niccolo, First, nobody can kill your avatar. He can annoy you, he can harass you with objects that follow you around a sim or try to crash your viewer by overloading it, but he can not cause lasting damage to your avatar. You simply teleport away and he's gone. You block him and he's gone. You tell your friends to do the same and he's gone. If you block him, he'll not be able to IM you, nor will he appear in your view when nearby. It's almost (almost ;-) as if he's not there. If you own a Linden Home, I believe you can ban him, so he can't enter your house. If you rent, ask your landlord if the stalker can be banned from your sim. If you have chat transcripts of his threats, file an Abuse Report including them in the "Details" section of the report window. Instructions for doing so can be found here... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Filing-an-abuse-report/ta-p/700065 Good luck!

I watched a little documentary of Steven Mann's work while at MIT. I was struck by the issues raised by the unfailing memory of his body worn video recorder, which did not match his personal recollections. The perpetual memory of the internet may be the biggest headache it brings to us. We are wired to forget, which allows us to forgive. My first encounter with both augmented reality and "The Internet of Things" was in 2000, when I attended some conferences at MIT. I had interesting discussions with Neil Gershenfeld and others about the invisible encroachment of machine intelligence into everyday life. At that time, Gershenfeld was working on "personal area network" devices that you'd wear on your body, and which would communicate with each other through you. One example was a thingie you'd wear in your shoe, which would conduct a signal up through your body to your hand, which would then complete the circuit with another person during a handshake, exchanging contact information with the thingie in their shoe. One of the most interesting things I learned from Gershenfeld was how hard it was to harvest waste energy from human motion to power these things. Getting the power was actually pretty easy, but getting enough while going unnoticed was not. Extracting even 100 milliwatts of energy from the sole of a shoe was detectable by the wearer and 300mW was unbearable, making it feel like you were walking in sand. In the more than a dozen years since those meetings, I can't count the number of excited, hand-waving news stories I've read describing how we'll power our cell phones and flashlights from "waste energy" produced by the human body. Meanwhile, Nike spends a fortune to engineer shoes that return as much energy to your foot as possible during each stride, because we are quite aware of losses in our footwear, and will pay good money for shoes that minimize it. Maybe the rapid pace of technological advancement can't help but leave the lay press (and even much of academia) in the dust, but that doesn't decrease my frustration over the sensationalizing of things that are impossible, impractical or just plain useless in general. Oculus Rift risks being something like that, just like SL! Don't you love living in a niche? ;-)

Hmmm... Groups should vanish 48 Hours after the member count falls below two, which is why it's often recommended to enroll yourself and an alt in any group you create. There should be no fee extracted for simply having a group. I've had two for years and pay nothing for them. If the groups owns land, that'll prevent deletion and cause fees. Abandon it. If there's no land involved, you've got a double stumper there, AvantGarde!

Hi Alethia, Welcome to the forums! Come back and give us more information. Tell us about your computer, your network connection, what you have tried and what's not working. Are you able to launch the viewer? Do you get any error messages? We're happy to help, but we'll need something to work on!

Just need a few volunteers for my ocular nerve implant prototype tests and I'm off to Kickstarter. Anyone? Virtual reality goggles were "so yesterday" when I first saw them more than twenty five years ago. I think immersive virtual reality is dead, to be replaced by minimally invasive augmentations to real life. There will be small niches for such things as Oculus Rift, but I don't think the mainstream will never adopt them. And implantible gizmos are a loooooooooong way off, even if you only consider malpractice insurance for such elective procedures.

Hi Sam, Snapshots saved in-world are always stored as physically dimensionless textures at a resolution of 512x512 pixels, which has an aspect ratio of 1:1. When saved to disk, or to your profile feed, they retain full resolution and aspect ratio. In-world pictures only look right when displayed at the same aspect ratio as when taken, which depends on your monitor's aspect ratio in fullscreen mode, or the aspect ratio of the viewer window when in windowed mode (normal), or on the settings in the Snapshot window (did you know you can take snapshots with resolution in excess of 6000x6000?!). When viewing snapshots from inventory, you can select various aspect ratios from a drop-down in the lower right of the picture viewer window. If you retain the default "unconstrained" aspect ratio, dragging the window corners allows you to change both size and aspect ratio. If you select any of the fixed aspect ratios, dragging a corner will change only the size. When texturing a prim with a photo, you must make the prim's display face match the aspect ratio of the original snapshot. Unless you know the exact aspect ratio of that snapshot, you'll just have to stretch and squish until you get the right look. I hope that helps!

Hi Dianna, Did you check out the Henmations website? There's a whole column of manuals on the right side of their home page... http://www.henmations.com/hp/

Hi Jacie, If the tip-jar has a suitable surface for holding your image, and if it's modifyable, you should be able to drag an image to that particular surface while editing the jar. Without seeing the tip-jar, and knowing whether it's "mod"ifyable, we can't give much more useful advice about adding your picture to it. Come back to your question and edit it via "Options" over there on the right and tell us more.

You might try reducing the count on your lowest LOD to zero, since you're never going to be looking at a pillow from 100m away anyway. Is your RL home that messy? Where the hell do people sit?

SL imports only .wav files up to 10 seconds in length. It's possible you're trying to upload .mp3/.aac/.other files. Stereo will be converted to mono upon upload, but the file must otherwise meet the requirements of .wav PCM format, 44.1KHz. Here's the wiki page regarding sound clips... http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Sound_Clips The 10 second limit will force you to splice multiple clips together to make a song, and that'll require use of a non-trivial script designed for such purposes. Someone may come along to point you to one of those. Lag may cause gaps between the clips, even with the best of scripts, so be prepared for that. Good luck!

Hi Satori, Second Life runs just fine under Windows 8/8.1. What leads you to believe otherwise? Come back to your question and edit it via "Options" over there on the right. Tell us what's not working for you.

If you are saying that your bank transfers money into PayPal with the immediacy of a credit card, make sure that's true for serial transactions. I once had a business account that would float only one transfer at a time. A second transfer could not be completed until the first one cleared in the usual 5-7 business days.

Via Google Translate: hello I need to empredo in SL can be anything, I've had experience as a dancer and promoter of events, please, if anyone is in need of someone to work please contact me, my name is Bellatr00 Hola BelatrOO, Si usted está buscando empleo, el mejor lugar para preguntar es aquí (If you are seeking employment, the best place to ask is here) ... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Inworld-Employment/bd-p/InworldEmployment ¡Buena suerte!

Hi FluX, I have a bank account behind my PayPal account as well, but I must manually transfer funds into PayPal before purchasing Lindens. It typically takes 5 business days for funds to transfer, so if your PayPal balance isn't sufficient to immediately cover the purchase, I imagine it could be cancelled. Try moving funds into PayPal in advance of your Linden purchase. Good luck! ETA: I suggest you do a manual funds transfer and try your Linden purchase again. It has been my personal experience that not understanding why something does not work the way I want will not make it work the way I want.

Hi Snamyeh, Revealing RL information about SL residents (beyond what is shown in a resident's profile) is a reportable violation of the Second Life Terms of Service (TOS) and Community Standards. If this is indeed happening, file an Abuse Report on the offending avatar. Here are instructions for doing so... http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Filing-an-abuse-report/ta-p/700065 Be careful to word your report calmly, sticking to the facts and providing links to the web profiles of the offending avatars, with an explanation of which parts of the profile reveal your RL information. Good luck.

Whoa, I'm late! I lost track of time while preparing for the Olympics... Hi, Kids!!!

I've a few friends who wear "smilers". I don't generally look much at the avatars around me, as I'm too busy in the chat windows... and that's a good thing. Seeing smiles appear randomly just seems odd. If there were a smiler that watched my chat window to wink when I type ";-)", I might be interested.

Hi cherbear70, If you wish to make an official looking birth certificate to hang on the wall, it certainly can be done. That's how I got my PHd in Tattoo Art, and my Nobel Prize in Psychics (I knew that was coming before the Nobel Committee did). You just need to create a template (Google "birth certificate" images), or find one online (Google "birth certificate template) and add in the name of the newborn. Once you've created the certificate image, you must save it as a .jpg or .png file, then upload it into SL via the "Build" menu. That'll cost you L$10, and will result in a texture being added to your inventory with your chosen file's name. Then you rez a cube and drag the texture to one face of it. Squish the cube down so it looks like a certificate and hang it on your wall. Good luck, and have fun!

I dig it, Mommy-O. Even if they have the jets to kill the cubes, once they go ape it's all over. The trip from cool to frosted is like laying a patch to nowheresville. From radioactive to wet rag in 60 words flat. If they're hep, lingo's no sweat. Shoot low Kids, they're riding Shetlands. ;-)

As Rolig says, you can add anything that fits within the 117 prim limit. As an inveterate prim pincher, I'd be inclined to find something that could serve triple duty as a fireplace, stove and toilet. It's been a cold winter and a warm seat sounds lovely. ;-)
