temp prim rezzers zapped?

I don't know about your state, but in mine, you can actually fail the driver's license exam on one question if you don't have the default maximum speed limits memorized (alleys 15, school/business zone 20, residential 25, tertiary road 30, secondary road 35, primary 40, expressway 45, urban freeway 50, suburban freeway 55, small town freeway 60, rural freeway 65). The basic highway safety questions rightfully count for more points than questions about how to not park like an asshole, etc.)



I fail to see how the two are related. You can't get an accurate motion sound out of a static event, for one.



Sure it is. Botting isn't using the service as provided, same with using scripts or custom clients that override automatic logouts for being idle. Anybody with half a brain and who isn't colorblind can easily grasp concepts such as "temporary" and a red/yellow/green scale. This isn't rocket science unless one is completely ignorant or one is deliberately trying to obfuscate the intent for selfish goals.

.....

It is rather silly for you to say above it would be insane not to have a limit set, when that's precisely what I began with, in saying they set the limits, simply state them. Hint, last line of my first post. You seem to have an issue with them making a limit clear, which they now have, in Andrew Lindens post, which pretty much renders your personal belief of what is the intangible limit, irrelevant.

You may wish to link directly to what you're referring to if you realistically expect people to follow your reference. The forum post numbers are completely meaningless and do not line up day to day (what's #73 today isn't necessarily 73 tomorrow) or even view to view (maybe your audience is using threaded or viewing from a different sort order, which would make 73 be something completely arbitrary).

Andrew gave the formula used to determine the limit for the number of simultaneous temps in a given parcel.
That limit is the number of temps that can possible be rezzed in a parcel before the sim will refuse to rezz any more.
With out that technical limit being set, a rogue script (or Twilight Zone artefact) could continually rezz temps until the sim fell over.

Andrews post has absolutely nothing to do with the legitimacy of rezzing temps to achieve the effect of permanance.

And tell me Sling, who advocated 1000 temp prims as you noted in your post in his thread ?

Sure he did note that calc, which was, er, my point to begin with huh ? That they note it ?

Why does my car have 180mph as the top speed on the speedometer if I can't drive that fast?

Umm... your car has a limit on how fast it can go.

It does not mean you can drive it that fast.

Well Baloo, of course there are rules, they are defined in driving tests huh ? In fact, they even give you a lil book you can read so you know them. At least in my state.

Well, calculating a motion sound seemed a bit frivolous while they were at the time having availability issues, but perhaps that's just me.

And sorry, no, botting is not a crime to this point, as they have indulged it to date, along with keep alives to subvert the auto disconnect. Isn't there a parameter in the controls to shut off auto disconnect ? Well if there is, I guess you are wrong again. Imagine !

I see no reason to indulge your laziness in not reading what you reply to. You can do your own work.

If you mean that's it's illegal to drive it that fast, you are mistaken. There are places where you can drive it to its limit, including the autobahns in Germany.

I've no idea what you were replying to, so don't get me into it. I'm just pointing out that you can drive a car as fast it will go - even on some public roads.

Same logic...

I guess I honestly don't get the correlation. Are you saying they gave a calculation to note a limit that they don't intend to be possible to reach ?

Only on roads where it's posted you are allowed to.

Not just because your car can move that fast.

That is the problem.

Nowhere does it say you can run a temp-rezzer to utilize any of the parcel's supported temporary prims.. The only measure of your prim limit is the parcel's limit listed in about land.

If utilization of that limit involves slamming the asset server every 30s-60s in order to rez the 'temporary' prims in a build for false impressions of permanency then yes.

It's like saying you have this buffer for temporary prims that is avoidable for vehicles, temporary displays of products and the like.

It does not say you can use them in a manner that adversely affects the grid.

Just because it's possible doesn't mean it's allowed. It's possible to create child porn in SL, but that doesn't mean it's any more ethical or accepted. And no, there's not a way to override the autodisconnect in the viewer as provided (this is a good thing: if you're idle, you don't need to be connected wasting resources for everyone else who happens to be paying more active attention).

Then why wouldn't they state a lower limit, or say they discourage it entirely, instead of explaining a calculation for a limit ? I don't really understand.

If you don't care about whether you're doing something unethical.

And regardless of the TOS, ripping off the auction queue is unethical.

Even if the judge declared it legal, it's unethical.

I'm just speculating; whence come freshly-minted UUIDs?

I don't know about your state, but in mine, you can actually fail the driver's license exam on one question if you don't have the default maximum speed limits memorized

You can get speeding tickets below the posted speed limit, too, if you're driving faster than safe for the conditions

From your descriptions, I can guess which state you live in, because the traffic laws there are different than in most states.

I guess I honestly don't get the correlation. Are you saying they gave a calculation to note a limit that they don't intend to be possible to reach ?

When asked how many temporary (look up the definition) prims a parcel or sim can support they gave an answer.

They were not asked: Is it okay for me to use those temporary prims through a script that makes asset server calls fast enough that for all intents and purposes those prims are permanent thereby giving more than a standard prim allotment and degrading the grid performance.

There are quite a few utilization of temporary prims through combat tools, real temporary demo units, etc that are legit since the prims are not being called rapidly 24/7 in a manner that is detrimental to the grid's stability

Incidentally, speed limits are actually written down specifically, either on road signs, or in the law. Car speeds are not a good analogy for your argument.

(By the way, the speed limit is defined as what's posted on the
major highway in that state, with the "reasonable" limit not
being relevant in that case. )
