Dwell On It: With distinction

Jun 6th 2008 12:03PM (Massively)
Uh.... wha?

I know this was the kindest conclusion Tatwoman could think of, but possibly, quite possibly, he failed to show up totally? xD

Newbie avatar survey

I figure the middle option is a good substitute for it...

I'm a little against offering a scale with a middle-of-the-road option when designing survey tools though, generally. Letting people sit on the fence about something is a recipe for lots of average unless you have something extremely awesome in the mix.

Linden Lab whacks German teens?

Re: #6

Tat, it's almost the end of June. Why not chance it? Might get a surprise.

Linden Lab whacks German teens?

Would you settle for "horrifyingly understanding" or "understandably horrified" if that's not an option? :) / :(

Seriously though, if Katherine Berry's claim is true, a significant (not necessarily majority but... :( ) German teens are apparently the new Brazilian punk. or .my moron.

God help us all when they grow old enough to demand access to the MG and get it :(

Really? What took you so bleeding long to come to that conclusion? Some of us already saw it last year:

Robert Leatherwood is a loser, settles with Eros LLC

Excuse LL and the courts for taking some effort to, y'know, make sure it was valid and not some kangaroo case aimed at shutting down a legitimate business?

But seriously, this is one of the main problems of using current legal processes on metaverses - it never happens as fast as people in the world want it to happen.

How many times do you have to prove it?

All that and in the meantime, Joe is getting older. and older.

If he wasn't 18 at first, he'll be sooner or later. and then he won't be 18 anymore. Not at this rate xD

I wonder if this is caused by Linden Lab policies on privacy. Mayhaps its time to consider allowing for storage of proofs of age in the system?

HTML-on-a-prim kills sims

The same way you get other visual media streams in SL onto prim surfaces. the only awkward aspect of it is that you need to have enabled media viewing within Second Life to get webpages. This not really an ideal implementation (you don't really need Quicktime to browse a webpage in any form except for embedded quicktime streams), but it's a start.

Now all that's to do is to improve the implementation. Oh, and fix this blasted error - media settings should not be crashing the sim - they're not meant to be anything more than a parameter for clients to parse.

Listen and boo. Self-plagarism ftw.

Sky News targets sexual ageplay in Second Life again

Mar 4th 2008 4:30AM (Massively)
There is no room for child abuse under me, and any effort that stops it from occurring is something that I can get behind.

However, Mr Farrell is conflating child abuse and consensual roleplay. Whilst it may be illegal in Second Life to engage in Second Life, I was under the understanding that the Wonderland build was meant purely for non-sexual ageplay when it existed.

I would also question the nature of a group with 'incest' as well: incest can occur in various forms, some patently illegal and unnatural, others merely unethical. all the resident may be guilty of as a member of a group called 'incest' is having some proclivities that your idea of society considers unacceptable.

Who am I to tell you how you should live your life? Who are you to tell me how I should live mine?
