  1. As you almost said, provocative. She is that indeed. I can think of few other names which invoke debate, as does Ayn's name. If the writings are nonsensical, there shouldn't be so much debate. I've put the book down twice already. I keep picking it back up, because I also enjoy reading as a form of entertainment. It is not a book of revelation, but rather a story of affirmation. Maybe you watch Judge Judy, you've made me laugh twice already. I would like write a science fiction story. I already miss my commas :smileysad: I was having fun with those things. :smileyhappy:
  2. You could report that information using the Inworld AR system. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Filing-an-abuse-report/ta-p/700065 Each account would be a separate AR report.
  3. I believe that if I am well informed I will have few criticisms, as I would have all the facts. Do you like Ayn Rand's books? If no, why?

  5. In a short internet search, many of the results were related to Plug-in issues. Last I looked in my firewalls allowed access, there was like 6 plug-in programs from SL. Over the years, I have noticed that it is easy to miss the SL prompts at login, after a Viewer install or update. I suggest a clean uninstall, re-install of your Viewer. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/How-to-uninstall-and-reinstall-Second-Life/ta-p/1375231
  6. You would want to open a Ticket with Support. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Accounts-overview/ta-p/700019#Section_.5.2
  7. I just finished reading Asimov's The Currents of Space, and the only befitting re-title has already been taken. "The Corporation, the pathological pursuit of profit and power, by Joel Bakan. I had presumed that you would react to Ayn as you have., that is why I was being elusive. For many years I had only know of Any Rand, as she was depicted in television parody. She was mocked and ridiculed, by people who haven't even read her books. "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance." —Albert Einstein

  9. In most instances, perceived inventory loss is due to lag. Visiting an empty Region, like one of the Water regions, might help the inventory to load fully. Log out in one of those Regions, and relog using your last location. Open your inventory, and see if it loads. You can prompt it by typing one letter at a time, a, b, c, You may have to clear the Cache.
  10. A sandbox is a good place to get attacked. It is usually only Regional. If you know that you can, or will verify your Account, and don't mind having to possibly wait a few days, you should following the instructions in the link below. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/Password-and-account-information/ta-p/700017#Section_.5 I had to dig through a mountain of papers, to find information I wrote down years ago, it was a real Pita.
  11. You could use a Paypal debit card. You can request a card from Paypal at their website. Might take a week to get it.
  12. A link to a previously asked question. I don't know the answer. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Viewers/Does-anyone-know-how-to-fix-quot-the-Certification-authority-for/qaq-p/2237409 http://community.secondlife.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?filter=labels%2Clocation&location=qanda-board%3Asla_technical&q=The+certification+authority+for+this+server+is+not+known
  13. Greetings, 1) I have not completed the story to the end. I know where it's going. 2) Yes, the woman carried in by the robed characters, is the woman who passed through the gate. It's a pg story. 3) Duly noted, ty. The feedback has helped a lot. 4) I agree, I can reserve overly descriptive language for detailing the important story specifics. The second character is a type of detective, but he doesn't know that yet. If his bed was neatly made, he wasn't having trouble sleeping, because he had just arrived, like the woman. 5) This is a very rough draft, I'm learning the importance of proper grammar, substance, structure, and style. 6) "Looking towards my new roommates location, I remained frozen in place, breathing shallowly and slipping in and out of sleep as the hours passed...." :smileysurprised: That is good!... then what happens? I like that part. Roommates might not be entirely accurate. I'm feeling smaller now, in comparison to the realities of writing with quality, and doing so in volume. Thank you for the thoughtful feedback.
  14. English is my only language. She is accredited as an American author, even though she was born, raised, and educated in Russia as Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum. Capitalizing upon her personal quest for freedom as she sought asylum in American citizenship, was done purely for business reasons. Pride should be reserved for accomplishments. If we had an honest society, I wouldn't feel the need to distinguish that the author is Russian, or even that she is a woman. It shouldn't matter. But in the real world, growing up in Russia in 1905 was not an easy life, and it wasn't easy for men either. (lol)
  15. Sounds buggy. Have you tried a clean re-install of the latest Viewer? Or, reverted to a previously viewer release that was working? You shouldn't fall through the surface patch, and that function isn't something Residents normally control. You're either wearing something that is cached, or, your viewer isn't sending or relaying the correct information to the server. That's my opinion.
  16. The words are mine and I've referenced none, I deplore needless exaggeration. Ignorance compounded was the influence. She was a great novelist and I have nothing published, I have translated that part. I have hope and an empty bucket. It is stilted. I've been trying to force the process, to create progress.
  17. Greetings from the Bandwagon, I like the concept. The flood of invented true confessions might provide the necessary camouflage, for a person to be comfortable with posting an actual confession. I can see how it might help people, but I don't see how it will generate revenue in order to be self sustaining. I usually profess things, I rarely confess. I'm hiding my privacy. Most of my secrets are not mine.
  18. Thank you for sharing your insights. I've only been close to being in the creative Zen zone. I can better understand now, why authors hide away in solitude when writing. I'm glad to get input early on. I might have typed out 50 pages of confusion :smileyvery-happy: I will work on outlining the story, and developing it, however many pages that may be. I hope for the conclusion to evolve instead of being completely mapped out.
  19. I don't know. If you selected a premium account, you could file a Ticket with Support to get the ball rolling. If you find a solution before you get an answer, you could close the Ticket. There appears to be only two other related previously asked question here at the Forum. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/Image-Buffer-Allocation-Error-as-I-walk-around/qaq-p/1178903 http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/Error-LL-Image-Base-allocate-Data-LL-Image-allocate-Data-called/qaq-p/2184703 Sometimes a change, addition, or update can create issues, reverting back to an older Viewer Release, can remedy some issues.
  20. I would never attempt to intentionally annoy another person. I like to help people. Punctuation is not one of my strong points. I believe in cooperation and in each person doing what he or she does best. I was thinking that an editor could edit. I like writing. I've been reading a book written by a Russian author and the book has influenced my writing sty... method. I realize I have a lot to learn. I'm having fun with the idea of the story.
  21. A link to a similar previously asked question http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/Error-No-Media-Plugin-was-found-to-handle-quot-text-html-quot/qaq-p/1035115 another link http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Technical/Error-No-Media-Plugin-was-found-to-handle-the-quot-text-html/qaq-p/934515
  22. Selecting a premium membership for 1-3 months, and choosing a Linden Home, offers the best options. Only one person needs to be premium, doing so will also help to verify that Account, and to allow you to easily perform various Linden dollar transactions (L$) inworld, and at Market Place. The land the Linden Home sits on, can be set to a Group, that you can create. That will allow you, and your partner, to share in the ability to use the land's features. Building objects, rezzing object, changing the land settings, music, and many other features. If you choose to leave the Linden Home, you simply click on the About Land, and select Abandon Land from the selections. You are dealing directly with Linden Lab. Renting land, is something you transition into, after you have learned all the things needed, in order to find "good" land. Your Computer's performance, will be a factor in the type of Region where you want your house. Linden Homes can be laggy for some Residents. Renting in a Private Region, may offer a larger land parcel, the ability to add extra objects, and fewer neighbors. You are dealing directly with Residents. Most of those Residents are honest land dealers, some are not. Avoiding problems is solved by simply never paying too far in advance. If you are unhappy, you will have little invested, and will learn at a low cost. An entirely free SL is possible, it just takes longer to discover, and acquire things you like. There are thousands of free objects, but many of them are free for a reason, choose wisely. You will never need 10,000 brick textures, a crazy person made that folder.
  23. Are you talking about the Jira Bug Tracker, for reporting viewer bugs? wiki If you being tracked by a device, or another Resident, you may be wearing the object. If you cannot log out of the Jira, you could contact support, file a ticket., explain the problem. My last guess, are you talking about inworld Advanced menu, I think it's Displays, bug tracker? idk
  24. I will try that. The End. I'm learning quickly, :smileyvery-happy: I will consider the freedom that writing style offers. ty :smileyhappy:
  25. Yes, I would like feedback about the story. 1. The woman lying on the bed, is the tall finely dressed woman, who passed through the gate. 2. I suppose I wouldn't capitalize Cleaner. ty. 3. I thought the same thing. I have no idea what I am doing in that department. 4. I started thinking it would be a choose your own adventure, or that I might explain who, or what IGA stands for. I want it to stand for Inter Galactic Alliance, but I'm not clear if Inter-galactic is one word. 5. After looking at it, it doesn't need to be there. If pretentious were to mean pretense, I might have a purposeful explanation. When the air is crisp in the winter, sound travels differently. 6. I must disagree, onto is a word, however, I usually prefer upon, or atop. 7. I agree with Kurt's opinion. A story is a collection of collective thoughts. 8. You can thank Lithium for that. The font I used before copying and pasting, created a spacing error. I foolishly used the spell check here, and it added the extra characters. The only typos I have trouble tolerating, are my own. 9. I have no consistency, I'm not sure if I'm reading along as I am writing, or, if I am writing to telling a story. I was expecting a reply from you. If being mildly predictable, makes you feel foolish, then we will have both learned something new today. Insincerity, is one of the greatest obstacles, in the art of exchanging meaningful discussion. Thank you for your genuine candid response.
