1.20: Changing your mind about avatar lag
Massively
Apr 12th 2008 11:58AM Wow this is great, tateru. I wouldn't mind seeing more snapshots of the attachments you tested.
A test area could be set up with a fixed camera position and pose stand.
Do you think a number like this could be made for linksets as well? Then we can really go into detail and optimize a sim.

Apr 7th 2008 11:06AM Oh wow how disappointing. I had no idea Ventrella had left LL.
Havok 4 volumes: action at a distance

Apr 3rd 2008 1:34PM I thought the physical bounding box would be closer to the mesh in Havok 4. This seems similar to havok 1 as Qarl says.
GDC08: Raph Koster's 'Reinventing MMOs, a Metaplace 'antemortem''
Massively
Feb 26th 2008 1:31AM I think he meant with the chat interface, that it is rewriten every time. Metaplace has the opportunity to let you reuse such basic features. Either provided free or being sold.
A other point that isn't touched, is that it also speaks Internet out, so you can very easily bring game info and stats outward.
Money laundering in Second Life: get real
Massively
Feb 26th 2008 12:57AM You take a group of people who can use some extra money. Use their bank accounts to deposit a sum of money. You transfer 99% to LL. The 1% is for them providing you the bank account.
In SL that L$ gets transfered to your 'Business' avatar that some 'widget shop'. You sell it on the lindex, transfer to your bank account and count it as sales in real life business.
This scheme can and is used without SL as well, of course. SL is just the kind of new and unknown system to confuse and hide from the man.
Of course this will means you loose a lot of money in fees and tax, but you don't have to launder all your dirty money, just enough to make a living in the tax man's eyes. So they don't ask you how you pay the rent.

Feb 20th 2008 5:19AM Nothing new if you read the Gaia news on the site. They have been working on it for some time, and have screenshots and back stories available.

Orange feels the squeeze

Jan 26th 2008 6:40AM That is a pitty though. It was a excellent event.
I wonder if Stephane zugzwang had these issues, I saw him coming and going a couple of times.
Linden Lab's banking ban announcement, two weeks on
Massively
Jan 21st 2008 3:58PM It has nothing to do with how long you have a account. Nobody should handover anything they value to a stranger that only says they will give some interest on it. SL or RL.
