Age Verivication BS

Malignant Narcissist @ December 23, 2007 # No Comment Yet

The new “age verification” system that Linden Lab put in place a couple months back has been said to not work. LL hasn’t really said a whole lot on this, but since they are moving forward with the plans of rolling it out to everybody, it seems that they think it’s enough.
So, now that age […]

One step Forward - Two steps Back

Malignant Narcissist @ December 21, 2007 # No Comment Yet

More than a week after Apple fixed the problems with streaming media flaw which is said to have allowed arbitrary code to be passed within the stream, letting bad guys take your L$ and more, Linden Lab finally posted about it on their blog.

While one company can be very successful in “thinking different”, it looks like there’s not a lot of room for that at Linden Lab.

Another Day (A Tuesday!) Without SL

Malignant Narcissist @ December 11, 2007 # 2 Comments

Once again, residents of Second Life will probably go a whole day without access to something that they’re paying for. Over the past couple days, it’s been pretty crappy, anyway, from what I hear. Not only is the grid getting the supposed “upgrades”, but registration, LindeX, and the Land Store will be taken off line, […]

Relationships Getting Sucked

Malignant Narcissist @ December 2, 2007 # 4 Comments

About a year ago, Wendy posted “Does anyone hate Second Life?“. Since then, it’s been getting a slow but steady flow of comments. The comments on this post are one of the main reasons that you’ll want to go read it.
One thing that I’ve noticed is that most of the people in the comments that […]
