I bought a cute car but its steering is just awful. It feels like driving on a frozen lake. It's totally oversteering and uncontrollable. The script menu is from ACS. There are tons of settings and I have no idea what they do or what they even mean. Under steering there is: Steer Resist Velmult Drift Camber Powerslide Bonus Shift Slide There are also setting for gravity like VAttrac where I also have no idea what they do. Anyone know what these mean and what I have to set so this car will just behave normally on a Linden road? I don't want to race any tracks!

Both. She isn't the same species even so obviously she isn't just a virtual representation of myself but a different entity with her own name and history. But of course she is also "me" in the sense that I identify with her. I even feel her personal space violated when someone runs into her or stands too close.

Where is the mermaid place? I need to take a look. And yes, I encountered the coast guard group but I'm not into military style roleplay ... Just want to share the scuba thing 😄

I'm looking for groups or people who would like to join me in exploring the underwater parts of SL. There are several scuba groups but they don't seem to be active. My time zone is Western Europe. If you are into scuba too, go ahead and send me an IM.

Hi, I'm trying to create a static 3d model of my avatar WITHOUT any illegal softwares or viewers (please don't post these, won't use that). I heard there is a freeware program that creates a model by screenshots only. Anyone know? TY!

There can only be one solution ... Make it completely free and ad-based. Free land for everyone, free creation of objects for everyone. Once you sell, you pay. Let's face it: It's a competition for users' time. If I can spend my free time with my tablet in bed, playing a free game, I will not pay 50 bucks to sit at my PC with a diving mask in my face. Unless I am a PC gamer tech freak, which most people are not. I hope this won't fail big time again ...

Sighs. I get a little annoyed by your personal crusade against porn and "kinks" you personally don't like and/or refuse to understand. A few decades ago, people said the same things about gays ... I don't think that this forum is the right place to discuss your personal issues about OTHERS' private lives. If porn is bad or not is totally irrevelant for the question about how a future virtual world should handle the issue. It's a simple marketing decision and nothing else. BTW, i consider myself a feminist and I am not against porn ...

I didn't, that's why I put quotes. It's what the media and the general population thinks about SL.

Really, that's why Facebook, Google, Apple, Disney, flickr, Yahoo, Skype etc. are niche products while SL has billions of users, private and corporate. Oh wait, it's the opposite. It's the adult content that cripples SL to a niche for "socially inept weirdos" you better not talk about.

Re "Postident": What keeps a minor from using a postident verified person's computer and account? Nothing. They can still access anything they want. And as an adult user, you could still run into a minor using such an account engaging with them in a sexual way. The truth is, it is impossible to verify identity online. All you can do is make people click some question that asks their age. And if they say yes, for the provider AND for YOU, they are adults. Period. If they are still minor, it's their parents' fault, not yours. So if you want to be sure, don't do cyber or stay offline. Despite all that, I am still in favor of creating 2 separate virtual worlds, one with and one without adult content. But not because of "anyone think about the children!11", but because I consider that a more viable marketing model.

If just one single person in history was not being murdered, because the perpetrator was being deterred by the punishment and decided not to do it, the sentence "the law doesn't protect anyone from anything" is false. What's going on here? That's simple logic. Determent is one of the core purposes of punishment. The others being justice and retribution, enforcement of authority, rehabilition, protection of the public from the criminals and so on.

I don't get this panic behavior either.I am absolutely thrilled that LL is starting a new project. We can only win. Either it fails, then we just stay in SL, or it becomes the "next big thing" and we will be among the first using it. That's a much better scenario than this one: LL does nothing and sticks to its 10 years old technology and meanwhile, Googlebook and Yahoomazon start creating the virtual world of our dreams which will eventually lead to the demise of SL. Then all our inventories and names and virtual biographies will die and be be lost forever. So let's be happy and look forward to what will come!

Disney owns a porn studio? I didn't know that. That shows that they are doing it right. It's not about moralists, it's about branding.

Was that a (quite boring -- I am an RL female) try to argue that Google is *not* taking measures to keep their content squeaky clean? Oh yes it is. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/28225712 Of course you can still find *anything* on Google search, but only if you *explicitly* look for it. That's how a virtual world should function.
