I reprogrammed my roomate's dog.

My present roomate, whom I've known since last May, has a large black Corgi/Cow/Mix thing that likes me to the point that he doesn't bark at me or rip my throat out. This is actually a big compliment on his case since he doesn't like strangers. His name is Biento, a mangled word for 'Wind'.

Well. Lately I've been referring to him by other names, but usually not TO him, but ABOUT him. like "Fluffy" or "Scruffy".

Well, last night it turns out I broke him, that credit card commercial where the guy yells into the phone before being cut off by a tunnel? He says 'Fluffy' really loud. Damn dog, nearly asleep, pops his head up and looks at the TV.

Is there a reset for this?

Yeah, Burke - Just go into edit mode and shift drag the dog to create a new copy in its place. Then delete the original.

If this doesn't satisfy your roommate, use the land-tools to ban him from your apartment, or return him to my inventory (yeah, he's mine, sorry about that really, I rezzed him out a few years ago and enabled physics just as some griefer came a-griefin' - you know the rest)

Did you bug report it?

And, I'm betting that you have local lighting on, turn that off. Also, try ARing not just the dog but the roomate...

if you teach him to attack on hearing "rent money" i bet you could save yourself a bundle.

I'm sorry, this model of dog has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Any future attempt to hack the copy protections built into the dog will result in a DMCA violation.

This dog isn't broken. It's user friendly. Now teach it to get you a beer.

I found that Abuse Reports on the TV are FAR more effective, in general.

After the experiment, does the dog say things about liking Wensleydale cheese and making inventions?

Nah. It just responds to 'fluffy' now. It doesn't like me any more than it used too, but apparently you can teach an old dog new.... names.

This is obviously because he's a dreaded Corgi/COW /Mix. Must be the way those canine/bovine genes combined. :D ;)

Usually involves reformatting with a partition and dual-boot...
