  2. Very romantic. Could you post another photo with less of the shirt in the way for confirmation.
  3. Your tattoo means death in Spanish. I suggest replacing it with one that says love.
  4. Si. eMachines con Windows de 64 bits y Phoenix. Por que no escribir por el Ingles? Pienso que usted sabe muy bien el Inglés.
  5. Why not wait until some of the major bugs are worked out? It's not pleasant being an unpaid beta tester. Remember the story of the old bull and the young bull. They spotted some cows on a hillside. The youngster says let's run over there and do one of'em. The old bull replies, why don't we walk over there and do'em all? Save your energy. The market will be there tomorrow.
  6. Yes, but I want to be the king and kings don't rent the castle, they own it.
  7. That's a very common problem. Try rebaking, i.e., press and hold these three keys down simultaneously for a few seconds: control alt r It that doesn't work, try changing your hair base for another one. If that doesn't work, go into the advanced menu and do the character test, either male or female. That seems to always work. To enable the advanced menu, I think you press control alt d ps: Oh, one other thing to try before you do the character test, trying clearing your cache.

People like me don't have one, so I read the forums. @Perrie: I don't understand renting. If I had a choice between owning in hell and renting in heaven, I'd live in hell.
  9. If you don't like clogs, how about Crocs? You know, those rubbery slip on shoes with lots of holes in them. My recommendation is for sandals. That dress looks pretty good with bare feet. Alternatively, Venus had a good suggestion for strappy wedge shoes.

My family was so poor we didn't even have rocks. We when washed our clothes in the river, we had to smash our heads together.
  11. I don't think there is much you can do. Those glitches occur frequently. All you can do is hope that the quality of the software improves and perhaps make sure that you're using the best equipment at your end, i.e., modern up to date computer, good graphics card, and a good, fast, reliable internet connection.
  12. Se crea automáticamente cuando usted crea su cuenta. Solo entre a ver tu avatar.
  13. Disable physics or you'll knock yourself out when you run.
  14. Dancing at NY Jazz. I've been there a few times now, but this is the first time I snapped any photos. There were a few people in the club, but not too crowded. We even had a live piano player, which is rare: Whoops, panty shot! How did that get in there? SL is very realistic. If you wear a skirt while dancing, make sure to wear nice underwear. Not included: a snap shot of my bowling score, which was a personal best for me that evening at Pando Lanes. Bowled a 221. My opponent bowled a 211 (I think she let me win). Some days in SL are pure magic. @Zim: Great avatars. I'm not sure about the nose rings though. Looks like it could be potentially painful.
  15. You need to change from basic mode to advanced mode first. When you start your viewer, look at the bottom toward the right and you'll see an option to switch from basic to advanced. After you have changed it to advanced, restart your viewer and login. Control i will bring up your inventory. If you want to wear something, right click on it in your inventory and choose wear. If you want to remove something, right click on it and choose detach.
  16. Rebake, type control-alt-r, and put on a different bald hair base, and finally relog. If that doesn't fix the problem, reboot your computer and clear your cache. Still not working? Try a different viewer. Finally, do a charcter test as the last resort.
  17. It is not the dark side, it is the good side. I'm talking about committing random acts of beauty and senseless acts of kindness. The unmanned vehicles are ugly. Filling the public pathways with invisible prims is an act of beautification. It seizes the high ground from the forces of darkness and greed.
  18. No, I'm not talking about filling your parcel with prims. On your land, just turn off object entry. I'm talking about filling public land with prims. Some people do that to abandoned land to keep squatters from filling it with junk and unsightly builds. Also make the fill prims transparent so that you don't have to see them and rezz them underground.
  19. There is one thing that will work to stop the unmanned vehicles. If you have a parcel along side the public roads that the unmanned vehicles are using, you can write a script to rezz objects until the space is filled and no more objects can enter the parcel. Unmanned vehicles will not be able to enter then, although vehicles attached to an avatar will be able to.
  20. Check preferences in your viewer under general and make sure you have selected that you want access to general, moderate, and adult content.
  21. How much did you buy? A few details please. Usually these problems clear up by themselves if you wait a little while and relog, but you have may have to contact support. Also check you dash board at secondlife.com and look at transaction history and account.
  22. Ceera Murakami wrote: So, you managed to make about a $2 USD profit, ten times. And you also paid $79 USD for the Premium Membership that allowed you to do that. So, how much profit did you really make? Premium membership is $72, not $79. Also shouldn't you account for the L$300/week stipend + L$1000 bonus + L$250 thank you for signing up for premium membership? Over the course of the year, that adds to L$16,850. You should be able to cash that out for L$250/USD or better at current exchange rates for 67.40 USD. Subtracting the one USD paypal fee, leaves you with 66.40 USD returned to you. Subtracting 66.40 from $72, results in a total annual cost of 5.60 USD, on which Knowl Paine made two usd ten times, i.e., 20 USD. So his profit was $20 less the $5.60 cost, or $14.50. I suppose the cap rate (Return on Invested Capital) would be $86.40/$72 or about 120%. Specifically, you invest $72. By the end of a year you have $86.40 returned to you, which is the $20 from land buysing/selling + the $67.40 from L$ from LL, less the one dollar paypal fee to get it to your paypal account. Just need to scale it up with some scripted land bots.

Sounds like an old Apple advertisement: Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. - Apple Inc.
  24. He may have to now as he may be banned. His profile no longer comes up when I search for it in-world. I suppose he could have also cancelled his account preemptively. When I search on the web, the name shows but when you click profile this message comes up: This name is unavailable.

I caught a griefer at Hyanisport Infohub pickup avatars and dumping them in the water. The guy has a large transparent box attached to his avatar and he flys. He swoops down and picks up his victim in the box and then dumps them when gets over water. He did it to me a couple of times. I sent him an IM and asked if he wanted to be AR'd. He flew away and never replied, so I took that as a yes. I filed an AR. It wasn't a one day old account either. It was an account about 400 days old.
