actually since LL is based in the US the users are responsible for the stuff they post. it's a wonderful system. Hmmm. Interesting. How could an SL user could possibly be sued for libel when SL accounts are anonymous? It seems to me that the same logic would be applied to an anonymous forum where users have aliases in the form of user names as would be applied to say a magazine or newspaper - meaning that the publisher would still bear the brunt of any legal challenge. That's how I interpretted it. Again, given that it would be impossible to sue an SL user, with the exception of premium accounts (which, lets face it, are in the minority). |

There's, uh, probably a lot of things you didn't know about lindens. Another, another interesting, uh, lindenism, uh, there are only three jobs available to a linden. The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

Second life and whom are we trusting? That sounds like a question. I'll ignore the rest of the OPs rant and address the initial question, As my buddy Yau Man Chan ( who should have won the last Survivor) stated, as his credo of life....
" Love many, trust few, do wrong to none." I agree with that philosophy. Especially the 'trust few' part. Now what the hells this got to do with caramel corn, red shoes, and all this other whacked out shit? Wheres the guy who comes in here and slams the door when all the people with the 'RAGE VIRUS' come storming up the front walk. Strifes at the mall again? _____________________

The fact of the matter is.... SL will be sold sooner or later to somebody big like Yahoo, Google or who knows who else. To be honest I can not wait for the day. SL is in need of fresh eyes looking at it to get some things fixed.

*comes back from yet another night's rest* What's this? This is still around? I thought everyone lost interest in this person yesterday! We are a lot like my cats when they've caught themselves a grasshopper. Initially, while the grasshopper is still pretty active, they go after him in a pack and torment him mercilessly. By the next day when he makes only a feeble move once in a while, they show far less interest except to walk by and swat at him occasionally. _____________________

Ahhhh... forgot that. *watches kitten mercilessly stalk her blanket tassel* Yeah, I can definitely see that being a good point. It probably doesn't help that SL is also for the most part functional, does it? _____________________

Now I have sweet tea all over my monitor. Thanks Isablan. I needed to find something to make my day. |

This train wreck is still going on? Its like someone greased the rails with that Quaker State brand popcorn flavoring they have at the movies... hmmmm... Ive always refered to it as 'Mop and Glo butter substitute. And when ordering corn at the movies always request they lay in on heavy and do the 'half a bag' trick. _____________________

There's trubble (and Strife) at Mill !
06-17-2007 15:11
I was out enjoying SL last night again.
I saw Strife dancing at an art gallery. - Not as an art installation but as yer average normal avatar. Dancing using more than two legs (-- AND more than three!!! , I should perhaps add!) Is this thread really worthy of dragging an avvie away from art? |
