    Out of sheer curiousity, why is voice verification needed? It's a land rental, not a sex club?

    woof woof woof ruff grrrr woof barkbark woofwoof woof ... errr, I mean, Hi there!  I saw your ad for the sales agent position and I wanted to let you know I'm interested.  Thanks!

  2. I'll adjust my business model.  I'll have the client go into the room, undress and put on the little towel, then I'll open another door and let loose the zombie masseuses, and they go in and crowd the guy on the table for an hour or two.  I'll work the register.

    The sign outside will say 'Fondled by Zombies Massage Therapy' or something.

  3. Yes.  Of course.  I plan to open a massage shop in SL where I'll roleplay giving massages.  I'll click the emoter thingy and my clients can fondle themselves accordingly.  The little white towel over the butt is optional, of course.

  4. I wonder how many students finally graduate college, enter the real world and find out it's just easier to lie or not tell the whole truth unless you happen to be in front of a grand jury ( and even then you'll have a lawyer and, if he's a good one, lies and half-truths with the best of them ).

    Lying.  It works for politicians, lawyers, policemen, ad executives, insurance salesmen, clergy, used car salesmen, new car salesmen....

    Note to all students conducting surveys here: don't say anything, just ask your questions, form your statistics and bend them to suit your purposes like you would anyway.

  5. I've been seeing this too.  Oftentimes when I'm camming around Firestorm will freeze for about 5-10 seconds, sometimes twice or three times in a row and then recover.  I'm guessing it's something bad in the new version and not SL.

    I also run Singularity and it's been inevitably crashing after some random length of time so I'm thinking it's a fresh bug in the new SSB viewer code.

    Not sure if it's related but are you using an ATI/AMD video card also?

  6. I'll admit I have no idea what you're getting at, Peggy.

    It's a matter of ethics and perspective.  And, in my opinion, a student from some university coming in a forum and asking, perhaps, why do we, as consumers, so freely purchse things from China and a dozen other places without giving a moment's thought to the people who are forced to manufacture those things for us so we can get a good price?

    That's my interpretation of the word 'ethics', morally right and wrong.  Humanity, the real world.

    But instead we get surveys asking about our time spent online and if our avatars look like us, and a hundred other meaningless questions that have been asked so many times before, and gentlemen like the professor flailing their arms in panic as to whether the survey is being conducted ethically or not.

    If all these colleges and universities really cared, they'd have their students studying, and learning, and working toward fixing what's broken in our world, the Real World, here and now.  Not spending their precious time staring, with binoculars, into the stupid fishbowl that is Second Life.

    Is common sense dead?

  7. Some things matter.

    A lot of things don't, not quite as much.

    Focusing so much effort and attention on "ethical" surveys of ultimately meaningless nonsense is one of those things that, when it comes right down to it, don't really matter.

    I suppose I'm just offended by your use (and overuse) of the word 'ethics'... it's obvious it means very different things to each of us.

  8. I very much support this idea.  I also don't think anyone conducting a survey will be bothered to read on on all the other subforums before posting to the appropriate one and will drop it here in the GDF anyway.  :smileysad:

    ( ...and the mods will probably move it to Inworld Employment like they do everything else. )

  9. Because you really can't.

    Many of us are not gamers and don't feel the need to have a top of the line computer just to see fancy virtual rocks and trees.  And if SL, for instance, were to suddenly require a ton of processing power and memory it would cause a lot of the lower-end users to leave, and the people are what makes SL run, your customers and people to come visit clubs and socalize.

    I thought that was pretty obvious?  :smileyindifferent:

    This is a picture typical of what EverQuest's trees looked like.  I'd take graphics like this over anything on the "cutting edge" if the story and music and immersion was there, as well as the wonderful friendships you make spending time playing.

    If a social world is so in need of having processor-killing trees, why not just turn your computer off and go outside?
