  1. Use the destination guide and look at the what's hot now category (if you can get it to open). That has busy places listed with the number of avis present. If you can't get it to load then log out and run SL again and on the login screen is the what's hot places. Click the one of interest to you and then log in. You will be deposited there. Of course this assumes you are using a current LL viewer.

  2. I already decided that 2012 will be a year of getting my certifications updated and going back to work as a consultant. Not because of LL decisions or anything but because there is little future in non tablet applications and I am not into stupid childish 2.5D garbage on facebook.

    The ominous suggestion that permission to create and sell will become limited to only those LL wants doing it spells the end of SL if LL does that. And it won't stop content rippers from vacuuming content out of SL much the same way a number of authorized mesh uploaders are vacuuming content from every video game they can into SL and selling it unimpeded on SLM.

    Even LL appears to be moving on and developing non SL products so I'll take the hint. SOPA, if passed and signed into law, is the end of all user created content in the USA anyway.

     

  3. Although I suspect that creating and selling content in SL/SLM is about to become limited to only those who manually identity verify with LL and "meet LL's standards" (are people LL wants selling content) the issue will continue. The more people are alienated the more content will jump to the many many alternative SL based worlds which increases the whack-a-mole factor by log amounts.

     

    I doubt this conversation will even be relevant in 1 or 2 more years since LL is moving in other unstated directions unrelated to SL with the money we SL customers are paying them to advance SL.

  4. I do not wish to be tracked so I insulated myself. I am not the only one that is stealthing the internet now. One main reason I do not want google or whoever up in my stuff is because I want accurate search results. Google tailors search results based on what some guy from India thinks you need to see. Forget that.

     

    Anyway, like I said, ask for it. Maybe LL will do it. It won't bother me at all since google and facebook cannot see me. There is no reason for anyone to argue against your request since they can stealth themselves and never be counted by google analytics (which, of course, means google analytics is as good as the failed GSA in SL that you hated too).

  5. I have an extensive hosts file and yes it is effective.

    But you go ahead and ask for what you desire. Maybe LL will do it.

    I just don't support the spyware of google and facebook and a number of their minions. Yes I really do read site source code and identify the spyware widgets and block those domains. Recently the New York Times pushers (push down) had to change it's service since so many people are blocking the previously used spam provider. Well I have the new one all blocked now too.

     

    For those unaware if you see a facebook like button your movements were logged by facebook whether you have an account or not. And facebook admitted this surreptitious surveillance activity too.

  6. hahhaahah mistype. sorry. gawd sticklers for exact specs around here lol.

     

    Also to the OP: Disable HTTP textures. That seems to be causing a lot of people issues. I watched my port monitor the other night with only SL running. The clients (sl app and the horde of plugins) kept opening and closing dozens of ports to dozens of LL IP addresses. I kid you not. After all rezzed and i was motionless with draw distance at 128. Since I have a 30 mbps link I don't notice it.
