  1. Not really since LL is not a major target like Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Do you have any idea of how often SL undergoes DDoS attacks and most of us never even notice it? It happens all the time.
  2. Food for thought. Most companies will file a 1099 on anyone they pay out to regardless of the amount (unless it's an amount so low as to not be cost effective). They are covering their collective @$$es by doing so. Regardless of amounts reported, it is the legal responsibility of the individual taxpayer to accurately report any and all income to the IRS. If you fail to report any income, your butt is on the line for prison time and heavy fines. If the company fails to report the income, both of your butts could be doing time and heavily fined.
  3. That isn't what Love meant by "headlights". It was a reference to boobs.
  4. I couldn't do it. Not even to that garbage. Thanks to the strong appreciation and meticulous care of hardbound books my father instilled in me. I can't destroy any book no matter what the content is.
  5. I've never enabled it and it's still too fast or me. It was that way with the old LL V1, too.
  6. Well.. I do tp around and even set up my own personals. I don't like flying because it's just too fast. I find flying planes in SL easier than flying an avatar. At least the planes behave more like you would expect one to, unlike an avatar.
  7. I don't fly much in SL. I prefer to walk. Or dogtrot since the Vista AO I'm using has that anim. Faster than a walk but still much slower than a run. Sliding [downward] usually triggers it. About the only time I do fly is when building and need to have my av at a greater distance than usual.
  8. Maybe I should have explained my "it's full of stars" comment last night. You have seen 2001: A Space Odyssey haven't you? Not everyone has a home to go home to... so you've got the advantage there.
  9. It's all there on the wiki. That is the purpose of the wiki. A tool to use for troubleshooting and fixes. Do yourself a favor and bookmark the wiki. https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/
  10. You're first mistake was thinking reinstalling is going to fix everything. It won't. Also, if you don't do a "clean" reinstall, you're leaving behind files that could be corrupted and installing over the top of them won't uncorrupt the files. On the bright side you didn't mention clearing cache. https://wiki.firestormviewer.org/fs_clean_install
  11. I don't think it was selling one day and then buying the next. People do that all the time without LL placing the account on hold. Probably more the number of transactions combined with the amounts triggered the hold, not the frequency, in this case. Consider the email was changed first then the next day Ls were sold, then the third day more Ls purchased (were those Ls placed for sale as well?)... I'd be giving that account the side eye myself. There are also the limits LL has in place to consider. If you try to exceed those limits your account gets locked until they have reviewed the situation and determined if a fraud attempt has been made or not. If not, things go back to normal. Or whatever is considered normal for SL.
  12. If they had done this I would never have joined. Most humans are not capable of dealing with no up or down. Those that can, do so only after rigorous training for it and they are called astronauts.
  13. Or maybe... just maybe, you were one of those kids that required a little tighter rein because you liked taking things apart to see how they work. In more ways than one. I'm not overwhelmed by the choices. I'm not interested in watching most of it. Prime Time isn't Prime Time anymore.
  14. I loved her show and the way she would tell her grandmother she loves her at the close of each episode. I loved watching tv back then. These days... not so much. Hundreds of channels now and the pickings are just as slim (if not more so!) as they were 40 years ago. The part that really bugs me though is in order to have some of the "basic " channels (Weather Channel, SfFy, BBC-A, Science, History) you have to pay twice as much for what ends up being less to watch. Oh and to stay on topic, here is Carol as Scarlett O'Hara Barbie.
  15. To me, original Barbie never looked anything like Lucille Ball. That's not to say Mattel never made a Barbie to look like Lucy because they did. And then there are these:
  16. Nope, sorry, not we. I can't live that way and I don't. Can't afford any of that anyway.
  17. There are about 5 different types of Astigmatism. Didn't need to start wearing glasses until I was in my 40s. You crack me up.
  18. Yeah, except I wasn't referring to astrology, just the zodiac. Astronomy has more to do with what I meant than astrology. Animals shapes are easy for humans to recognize and makes for good shared terminology that leads to understanding even with a language barrier.
  19. Ah. I see what you are getting at. So for the next Year of the Dragon, according to the site you linked, the element will be Yang Wood, so I'm assuming an Earth Dragon. As for me, I was born in the Year of the Pig Boar (Earth Boar). https://www.yourchineseastrology.com/zodiac/pig.htm
  20. And then there are the millions of poor bastages like me who have Astigmatism. Odd thing is, I have better night vision than most people who have 20/20. Between the two I avoid driving at night as much as possible because those oncoming headlights blind the living *bleep* out of me. If only surplus Sherman tanks weren't so darn expensive.
