We are the lag...

But now my inventory has become a living creature that devours all within it's path. It is a nightmare and beyond the scope of mere humans to destroy.

I can only pray that an act of god will destroy my portion of an asset server and I will be reborn, naked into the world...

This is why we have prices and markets, in order to allocate scarce resources. It's time to put a price on resources, as was done with land-prims.

LOL. Reign in the beast David. You are it's master.

That worked on so many levels!

lol... now i have the sudden urge to make everything on my property rez when someone comes within sensor range... and die when nobodies been there for 5 minutes. This could be impressive.

i've always assumed that they would move to a pay-for-storage model, like the web-based emails systems that give you a hefty portion as a base, but charge you extra if you run out of room and need more space.

Uh, Chris, it's a song, mmkay, I wasn't calling anyone "children". Where were you in 1985?
And I need to get a new spokesperson? Like I'm some kind of business or something? Eggy is just one man. Widdle ole me. Never hurt a fly, unless you think rants kill kittens.
Developers should have the freedom to do whatever they want, of course. But scripters usually don't cause any lag because they're usually frugal little hermits and they know what they're doing.
It's the wacky TSO refugees who need to have 500-prim kitchens with voice-activated appliances, couches with poseballs, beds with sex animations, totalling 50 listeners, plus fancy timers and sensors and heaps of crap. Not to mention 1024x1024 textures for each of their 50 portraits resting on their fancy animated, voice-activated fireplace.
And it's also those exact same people who complain about lag and think it's a "bug" that LL should "fix", when THEY are the walking lag bombs.
But obviously I cannot point my finger solely at consumers. Developers often think, it's JUST ONE listener, or JUST ONE timer, or JUST ONE sensor. And they think they are very clever, using their little link messages to avoid LSL delays and do stuff in parallel, forgetting the reason why the delays were put in place to begin with.
I got news for you, bubba. That little wad of money you so enjoy GOMing every week, well, it means your JUST ONE is constantly growing, and spreading all over the grid, turning into massive amounts of lag. As a professional you have the responsibility of making your code as resource-friendly as humanly possible. Why use an open listener when you can have a touch-activated llDialog, where the listener would only exist for 5 seconds at a time? Why use a 0.2 second, 96m-range llSensorRepeat for your "security system" when you could use an llVolumeDetect on your doors or something.
Yes, education is a good thing, but no one wants to teach classes.
You can have 9 textures on a single prim. Many people, myself included, have suggested that textures should be limited according to your parcel size, and there should be a limit to how many attachments you can wear.
It gets to the point where I lag in sight of some people (who shall remain nameless), and turning away from them improves my fps by an order of magnitude.
The problem is that people would scream bloody murder if you forcibly took away their precious sex balls. We need more INFORMATION AWARENESS. People can trim their lag down to acceptable levels. We need a little dialog box that tells us, you are running X listening scripts and X sensors. Or maybe you could have parcel-specific millisecond counts and percentages for Run Tasks and Run Physics. Even a raw count of how many scripts and textures you have on your parcel would be beneficial.
You want self-government, well, you can start by showing that you are able to govern yourself and then we'll talk about larger-scale government systems.

So maybe if we all just stand still, in one spot, naked, hairless and scriptless - there will be no lag!
Won't that be fun!

gmail i think just increased the storage for free accounts and also supports pop mail now.

Then we'd all look like this....

Here's a new concept for you - your freedom ends where other people's freedom begins?

I look just fine, thank you very much, and I never wear attachments

Wha?
Seriously, it would be much better if people could behave. If LL starts imposing restrictions there's gonna be one whole hell of drama on these forums. I still remember the sheer amount of flack I got when I proposed this whole newfangled thing of tying prims to the size of your parcel!

I'd say we're in the flying high eighties... Or maybe with all this lag we have hit the depression nineties... Now it's time for the emergence of recycling and greener habits, with increased knowledge of our stuff's impact on the environment around us.
