Not too sure because I haven't use d his products but doesn't Thomas Conover make a sim wide scanner? Not too sure about the email capability but I would think that that is pretty standerd.

You can only give 4 per hour And must wait a minute or two between giving them, something like that. Not sure of the total number you are allowed to give. Should be unlimited I think but I don't know as of yet.

ummm did Google translate make an error? I was sending prayers for those in despair. ETA Good job Storm

He says that it won't use many vowels which might allow a Hawaiian board to be set up, and that "ewe" know it makes sense. No, no, no. There is too much diversification. What we need is to become more inclusive and cohesive. I suggest *one* board, we can all use and understand each other with. Esperanto. The perfect solution that was 130 years before its time. Unu bieron, mi petas!

Feel free to substitute any body part, religious faith, political affiliation, or philosophical belief into that statement and see if you stll feel all warm and fuzzy inside. PS Also from your link. 5. One characteristic of positive thinkers is their need to have the world behave according to their wishes. They have never grown up and still live with childish demands. Whenever people and the world fail to act according to their selfish wishes, they are unhappy. Such a poisonous attitude prevents them from growing and learning how to cope with life's challenges. sp

That is all well and good but the pertinent question is, does Xavier Hollander refer to her nether regions in Belgian when she visits the Netherland Antilles?

Thanks, anonymous negative abusers can never outshine the power of positivity. Excuse me? Are you suggesting that people by virtue of their philosophical outlook are genetically inferior or deficiently developed? You're excused. Your assumptions are not relative to my statements and therefore have nothing to do with suggestions. I am going to infer you are speaking only about my question as that is all you deigned to quote, so I will confine my answer in regards to that alone. The only assumption I make in the question is that "philosophical outlook" is genetic. My assumption followed from your statement that was highlighted in red in your post where you said that, I paraphrase, negative people try to drag others "down" to their end of the gene pool. I am asking you clarify this statement you made. Do you believe a person's belief system is the result of their genetic makeup? Or, is their belief system a product of their environment and conditioning? Or, is it a choice freely made? Secondly, is that slur not a negative, bigoted statement that exposes your prejudiced and discrminatory attitudes and beliefs? Your attitude of intolerance for anyone not considered to be optimistic or positive by your standards is that they are to be treated as pariahs and ridiculed. You do not present an attitude of inclusiveness for all despite your cliams, and that is transparent for all to see. Tolerance and acceptance are two sides of the coin, and your purse is empty. sp

I wonder why they didn't attempt backup vocals for the performance? Nevertheless an outrageous video clip! Thank you!! I found a site that states that the BBC recordings, Brown Sugar, Bitch, and Wild Horses, for ToTp were done in March for airing in April 1971. The notes indicate that indeed the playback was a "prepared backing track with live vocals". The Stones had taken the masters to London from Alabama's Muscle Shoals Studios where they had been done to do overdubs, which included the backing vocals. I also found an interview done with Jimmie Johnson in 2005, who was the engineer of record on the Muscle Shoals recordings, explaining the recording setup. The Stones were, during March 71, on their Farewell Britain Tour and playing in and around London almost daily and sometimes 2 shows per day. ETA Caveat; internet "facts"

:smileyhappy: A home at last.

Storm Clarence wrote: Fantastic clip Derek. Wow is right and 40 years later. Some of these 'kids' today couldn't produce anywhere near some of the classics of our generation; Brown Sugar is one of these classics. Agreed Storm. My son (17) made the same observation when I showed it to him. '71 was a very good year, though the #100 on Billboard for that year was a song by Perry Como. I never could get into his stuff.

I wonder why they didn't attempt backup vocals for the performance? Nevertheless an outrageous video clip! Thank you!! I'm not sure but from scrutiny it appears that the musc was playback while Micks's vocals were live. A good clip nonetheless. Other copies of this clip I saw were headlined for things like "Guitar Heroes" as well as other canned music shows. One had the distinctive BBC 4 superimposed over it. I suspect it was made to distribute to other various music programs of the day. As you know ToTP usually had a live audience and there wasn't one here. I think it fits nicely here as it incoporates the Big 3 of SL, the Secks, Violence and Slavery. (ducks Mike the Mod)

Somewhat off topic..I just want to say that I enjoy how tenacious YOU are...I love that you don't let the *sshats get you down. <3 ~X~ Thanks, anonymous negative abusers can never outshine the power of positivity. Typically negative people try to pull you down to their bottom of the gene pool because their lives lack anything positive. Excuse me? Are you suggesting that people by virtue of their philosophical outlook are genetically inferior or deficiently developed? Sounds like a precursor to or justification for extermination to me. Perhaps you should examine your attitude to determine whether it is positive or negative. Methinks you don't like your negative aspects exposed *edited for harassment* ETA Sp.

Don't know what you are on about. your Hippiestock machinima is on the first page of the thread "My recent Machinamas". So all your machinima postings have not been removed. Perhaps if you added some technical information to go along with this one you keep posting over and over and over ....to actually provide some help to newcomers to this it might be more well received. *Edited for harassment*

@Cato No Cato that doesn't achieve the desired effect. I believe that is only for seeing the Threads within theTopic mode. There doesn't seem to be a way, when you are looking at the Forum>>>Second Life page to see which Threads were posted to most recently. It lists Threads by most recent creation and not by most recently posted to. Unless I am missing a setting somewhere.

SuezanneC Baskerville wrote: How do you see threads sorted by reply date, or in other orders, such as by number of responses, number of views, etc.? It seemed to me the recent threads lists is sorted by date and time of thread creation, which is not generally what I want. At any rate, it's possible to create urls to control sort orders for some forum software, and it might be possible for Lithium, but if so, I'm not familiar with how. I had that same concern Suzanne and couldn't figure it out using torley's video tutorial. I also IMed Bea Linden but got no response. Not their area I suppose. I guess try the Answers is next step.
