  1. You might want to have a look at Third Party Viewers, they have the capability of "temporary uploads". Those are costfree and working on the main grid. The drawback is: only you can see it as those items exist in your cache only. But for development that might be ok..

    Best regards

  2. Maybe you can take a look in the BIOS-Settings, there might be an option under internal devices to disable the onboard graphics. I did that with my Lenovo (internal Intel graphics + additional AMD/ATI 3650 chip). I lost the power savings (neglectable for me) and won a great performance :-)

  3. Maybe your  working stairs consist of two prims: a visible sculpted stair which is set phantom and a non phantom but invisible ramp to walk on. Together both prims create the illusion of walking on the stairs. If you rezz out only the sculpty stairs then you walk through the (phantom) prim or - if set non phantom - you may run against a wall.

  4. I'd have a look at all those educational places in SL and would attend some classes there as well. Then you get a feeling about what is possible in SL and how it can be done - some of those institutes here have several years of experience in teaching in SL ;-) There is an annual conference about "Virtual World Best Practices in Education" (VWBPE), but there are others too.  If you like some starting points IM me inworld (I'm on european timezone though)...

    Best regards..

  5. You can setup a sim which is not connected to the SL grid in anyways with the opensimulator software (http://opensimulator.org) or with the Aurora Project (http://aurora-sim.org/). In both cases you won't get a download - install - "ready to work" experience though as you get an empty space - and I mean empty! You have to create next to everything yourself. While that's ok for building, you might not like your "Ruth" appearance doing machinima ;-) And unfortunatly you can't simply buy some cool things from market place or any other source! You are mostly on your own...

     

    That said, you can always find a lot of scripts, textures and even complex objects in the internet. So depending on your goals, you might come along with those sources. Best of luck from my side

  6. As far as your own creations are concerned there are viewers which can export your builds to a local disk as an XML-file. The textures can be "saved as", and scripts can be edited (and thus saved) via external editor.

    Exporting bought objects might be a different thing though as it might be seen as copybotting. Afterall you might be able to reimport it under a different name and with different permissions and even under your name as creator! And you won't have a licence to export said things to different grids, which would be feasible with exported items.

    So - in short - I don't think, you're allowed to make a backup copy of bought items to your local disk. That's where a redelivery-policy of the store kicks in ;-)
