  1. Best skin and shape would be a puppy skin and shape. You will be irresistible.
  2. Essentially, the OP is asking for everyone's opinion because there's no way anyone could make an informed answer to the question. In my opinion, from what I've seen of the residents in SL, people are quite non-political. Politics just doesn't come up often because it's not very applicable within SL. As a whole, I'd say politcal leaning in SL would mirror the real world where mose people are in the moderate center and a few are on far left andd on the far right.
  3. Here's the cheapest gaming laptop on Amazon UK. http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-1885UK-i5-4210M-GeForce-Windows/dp/B017M50VNG/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1449619268&sr=1-1 Here's a cheaper one on ebuyer. http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Computer/cat/Gaming-Laptops?price=400+TO+500 You want a laptop that has a good video card. The two above use the Nvidia 940M which has an okay rating on notebookcheck. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-940M.138027.0.html I'm not familiar with what online computer stores are popular in the UK. But the gist of getting a laptop is to look for a 'gaming laptop' in your price range and check what kind of video card is in them using the notebookcheck website.
  4. And it's a girls parka. Unless you want to look a bit chesty. The store is Chemistry on the marketplace. Just in case some one is interested.
  5. I have a nice one but not sure if its a unisex version. It has a hood but its just down and not adjustable. I don't know if its on the marketplace because I just found d the store while wandering. I'll check what it is.
  6. You really have to find benchmarks that can tie the video card you are looking at to the video cards recommended to p!ay SL.There's just a lot of marketing hype out there to avoid. I've bought a couple of old Windows laptops on eBay with nvidia graphics that run SL. Dell laptops, who knew? They run SL on low settings but they were both under $200. Chromebooks are great for general computing but they're definitely not designed to fill the gaming niche.
  7. Thanks Alex! This is an excellent way to fend off requests for personal information from other residents! I have to copy this stuff to a note card.
  8. Perhaps you were being copybotted? I don't know how it works exactly but I think they have to be in proximity to you.
  9. The new thing here is that Thunderbolt 3 was just unveiled this June. 
  10. People who write about logging chats aren't really "normal" people. In real life, you can easily go by visual cues or patterns of speech and behavior. Online, you have to go by what people are writing. The very same warnings in real life that tell you to avoid people are the same warnings that are going off when your read those particular profiles. Congratulations on avoiding potential problems!
  11. I'd stick with an Intel cpu and an Nvidia video card. Get a good motherbord that allows you to upgrade in the future. The bottleneck is not the hard drive, it's the internet connection. Maybe upgrade your internet speed if you can.
  12. Wow. Them desserts are lookin' mighty fine. I had a pie in a glass like that DejaHo. It was a great ending to the meal and surprisingly low calorie.
  13. Sometimes it takes a while for someone new to be searchable. It doesn't take more than a day or so. I would recommend that the both of you go to the same sim location and then friend each other so you can chat whenever you want in SL.
  14. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2984573/components/nvidia-hits-gaming-milestone-true-desktop-performance-in-a-laptop-with-geforce-gtx-980.html?page=3 Nvidia laptop chip = nvidia desktop chip This new card must run hot. Not sure if I'd want a gaming laptop to have the video card inside or outside with the forthcoming thunderbolt USB.
  15. Mainland living ain't so bad after all! Maybe it's because of the loss in SL population? Less people, quieter sims? I think the one reason why I rent on the mainland is the ability to find a quiet sim. On a residential island you see a lot more people online. It's zoned residential by the sim owner and its in their best interest to get tenants. On the mainland, you'll get residential parcels mixed with businesses, abandoned land, ad zones, parks, etc. I suppose you could own a whole island for privacy but that's just too expensive.
  16. I have been renting a small parcel on the mainland for my home for the past few years. It seems I have to move every year or two because of some reason or other like having neighbors who are a little too close and always online or the landlord leaving SL. My new place is pretty good. I have a few constantly online bots on the sim but they are a comfortable distance from my parcel. Other neighbors that are closer to home appear very rarely. I have a skybox so I'm not bothered by any prim homes except for other skyboxes. I try to find a good altitude with lots of free sky. Any mainlanders here? How is your mainland experience been over the course of your second life? Or is a private sim way better?
  17. Get them to loan you one of their expensive no copy objects. They will certainly loan it because you are their friend. When they ask for it back you gently remind them of their obligation to you and that they should give you your item first. Iron fist in a velvet glove.
  18. You might be able to build a nice desktop for that price. I found this by googling for $500 gaming pc. It was written in August so its pretty up to date. http://pcbuildsonabudget.com/best-gaming-pc-build-under-500-dollars There are lots of people looking for a $500 and under gaming pc. I would read up on the different builds and then go shopping. Prices are always dropping on the cpus and video cards too. So if you read an article written in January of this year for a $500 build, the current cost might be even cheaper. To be honest, SL isn't ramping up in graphics quality like game series lthat come out with whole new game engines ever few years. I'm pretty sure a sub $500 PC With enough gaming power to handle SL was built years ago. SL has issues because it serves content from the internet rather than your hard drive and the content is not optimized at all.
  19. It depends on how involved the sim owner is with the activity. I don't think it's up to a resident to investigate this. Just file the AR and let the company deal with it.
  20. Sounds like the script is trying to find those animations you renamed and when it doesn't find them it gives an error. Did you make two copies of the "C" animation and rename them to "L" and "R" ? This should cause the script to see the "L" and "R" animations again but play the "C" animation.
  21. I thought there was a way but after googling around it appears that there is no adjustment for the mouselook position.
  22. I started writing out how the contracts would work by reducing the amount of work a customer service person would need to do but after some thought I believe that a contract would still require too much time and expertise from the customer service person. It might work for something like a rental contract but if someone was trying to commision another for an animation or script it would be hard for the customer service person to evaluate an animation or a script. I think there would be too many complex agreements that the contracts would not be able to prevent a majority of disputes.
  23. LL should definitely address this type of problem in Sansar and in SL as well. LL has control of everyone's accounts, LL has the ability to verify evidence, and they have control over the flow of lindens. While it's true that there are no laws to persecute virtual world scammers/thieves there should be laws that can be upheld in the virtual world. LL should be the leader in this. Instead of hiring more customer service to resolve resdient disputes over linden dollars they could create something like a virtual world contract generator. that would not be legally binding but binding within SL. 'Binding in SL' means that a customer service person working for LL could read the contract and make a determination if the contract was breached and refund money. LL could offer several pre-written contracts ( and create more in the future) where the residents would simply need to identify themselves as to which party they are in the contract and 'sign' the contract. The contract would need to include specific terms that LL customer service could verify if the terms were fulfilled. When someone signs the contract, they get informed that they are bound to the contract and breaching it could result in LL getting their money. LL could even prevent the money from being cashed out until the contract is completed.
