DISQUS

I just use foobar2000 :-D

I know it's an audio player, but the scripting capabilities it has are superb.

Switch to Sandbox, convert your current theme to CSS, then supply an additional stylesheet with the correct <link media="" /> attribute specified.

It's the analogue hole of the data being made available to the client over the SL protocols you ignoramus.

If the data is made available to the official client, then it can be made available to third-party clients.

Absolutely nothing is wrong with text-based gaming.

But reducing Second Life to a text-based MMO to combat crime is absolutely ludicrous. Which was the point I was trying to make.

@ Anonymous:

I can rob a bank doesnt mean I should rob a bank.

I never said we should make it easier for the criminal minority to commit crimes.

I am strongly against making it harder for the law-abiding majority to go about their lives unrestricted and uncensored.

It is healthier for a community- society even- if it is made easier for criminals to be reported, caught and prosecuted. I don't want to live in a police state where my every action is monitored, and my choices with how I live my life are dictated to by the government. And neither should anyone else.

Aside from the overly paranoid who need to feel safe, warm and fuzzy and don't mind their rights being stripped away from them just because the big scary man might come get them.

I believe There's content censorship policy would be perfect for those people.

And yes, I am 100% aware that not everyone could afford to go after the criminal minority goes after their content- this is what I am saying about making it easier for society to have criminals reported, caught and prosecuted.

Please note that I am not advocating criminals as second class citizens- e.g. infringing on their right to privacy by making it easier for their personal information to get a hold of.

I don't want my ISP to give the MPAA my contact details because the goons didn't know I already had a copy of the film I was downloading on VHS (the film in question was Ghost In the Shell, I'd gotten it on VHS, downloaded it so I could watch it without my sucky VHS player eating the tape, then bought the DVD)

The steps one must take to be noticed in a sea of noise...

@ SpamHater:

You're little better than a spammer in attracting attention with your lame methods.

I notice that your comment is not directed at the content of the comment, only the way in which it was presented. This kind of behaviour is referred to as "trolling", and while I am aware that IRC bans the use of loud text, I am not aware of many blogs that do- and I blog a whole lot more than I use IRC.

By the way, if you pay any attention to the meaning of the tags I used- and , you'll note that they mean the contents are to be spoken in a strong tone of voice, or emphasised by means of varied intonation, pace, or tone of voice.

on the other hand, in it's stylistic usage, generally does mean Loud and obnoxious

hehe. thanks for noticing it :-D

It seems I succeeded in making use of the tag to get my comment noticed as people scrolled through all the noise in the same manner they do when clicking "Accept" for an EULA.

Found this post thanks to Google Alerts :-)

@Torley, Alyssa: While this is not a place for customer service dispute resolution, I am of the opinion that "penis" and "vagina" as technical terms are PG, it depends on the context they were used in. Saying what you'd like to do with one of those is certainly not PG :-P On the other hand, if it's okay to say something in a sex education lesson, then one shouldn't be banned for saying something in an innocent or technical context.

Resident A: "What is smeg ?"

Resident B: "a) A european manufacturer of white goods, b) all-purpose replacement for swear words in the english TV series "Red Dwarf", c) cheesy deposit under the head of an unwashed penis"

Resident C: "ZOMG RESIDENT B SAID PENIS!!!!!"

Resident D: "Banzorz!"

</end parody>

That ridiculous scenario demonstrates how ridiculous getting banned for using those words is, and how ridiculous complaining about it on a <acronym title="Linden Lab">LL</acronym> employee's blog is.

I've been bugging Ute for quite sometime about the state of the website.

Looking under the hood makes me wanna run away screaming :-D

@Torley: Disable the rich editing features Tiny MCE provides and code the posts by hand :-D

Will it improve things much on single-core CPUs I wonder ?

Do note that every single design uses the same XHTML underneath it, so it's an example of the flexibility of a standardised XHTML skeleton- such as the one used in the Sandbox theme for WordPress :-D (wink wink nudge nudge cough experimentwithportingyourthemeovertosandbox cough)

I'm trying to play Second Life Lemmings by collaborating with peeps on the website to direct Destroy to Ahern, but it seems there's a problem with the remote controls working when she crosses sims.

OMG THAT KICKS ASS.

I just HAD to make a video of that. Apologies for the fuzzy resolution, I don't have a blip.tv account to get it posted in the original format, but it's still cool to watch- Marv's Mixed Reality Demo of Destroy Television

@Torley: Grab a copy of nVidia's 16 GPU powerhouse, run 8 copies of Second Life at once, and cut up the footage in Final Cut Pro :-D

One thing I've got on my list of projects to do is the ability for peeps to track other peeps cameras- useful for collaborative machinima and photo-fu whereby the director or photographer is stuck on a lower powered computer, and the posessed Resis do the recording and snapping taking full advantage of their high powered graphics cards.

A similar technique could also be used to teach photography and machinima classes in SL- in a situation where you have one person controlling a bunch of people in SL I tend to use the term "necromancy" because the people involved could be AFK zombies :-D

If you want to see the wonders of what CSS-only designs can do, take a peak over at the CSS Zen Garden.

A few things from the special effects category to take note of:

* Lemon Aid - only a few letters and graphics away from being Torleyised

* Bonsai Sky - imagine it replaced with vistas from the likes Svarga and Lost Gardens of Apollo

* Kinder Garden - replace the cartoony graphics with some art rages SL photos (your flying SL car instead of the plane perhaps ?

And regarding the pingback/trackback stuff, there's a field in the post form to send trackbacks to typepad blogs such as New World Notes, but you may have to remind Hamlet to click the button to display the trackbacks :-D

You keep being sneaky and taking SL photos that look pre-rendered. :-P

It doesn't cost L$10 to take photos.

Only to upload them to SL.

Postcards and local saves are free.

methinx you should submit to the 404 Research Lab :-D

gah. Forgot the linky linky.

Play with <!-- more --> and <!--nextpage-->. They will help you lower the page weight :-D

I should probably use it more often, but you can get an idea of how much bigger the front page would be if I didn't use them at all.

You're welcome ^_^

I'm just running through the html for this biography, microformatising it out of curiosity.

In the biography alone, you've got 19 hCards, and 32 hCalendar events :-D

Email coming your way once I've knocked up an extra stylesheet.

You want one of these plugins Torley.
