My Mood: | Cryptonomicon is arguably one of Stephenson's best works. The premise is a couple of guys decide to open up an off-shore data-haven, outside the range and scope of law enforcement to troll or subpoena. The idea was to create a "bank" for data, encrypted so well that no one had a chance in hell of decrypting your information. There's a side plot that deals with the birth of modern-day cryptology that goes back to the u-boat conflict in WWII, japanese tunnel complexes in islands in the south pacific...and a lot more. It's a dense, brilliant, and just all-around great read. |

My Mood: | You know what kills me sometimes about LL? They're really good at making almost cool features that are almost useful. Like implementing animations without allowing a way to change the default avatar animations in the client. Like implementing voice without making avatar lips move. Like sculpties without lossless upload. Its kind of like boredom often sets in when something in 80% done. ![]()

My Mood: | From Catherine's current BLOB entry: 3. Can I use SL with my product, domain or organization name? Yes, under our special license to use “SL.” You can use “SL” with your own trademark. So, if you own the “Dell” trademark, you could call your presence in the Second Life world “Dell SL.”Or, you can use two common nouns with “SL.” For instance, SL Ballet is not ok (only one common noun) but SL Ballet Troup works. And SL China Portal is not ok (”China” is a proper noun), but SL Chinese Residents Association works. You need at least two common nouns so others don’t think you’re an “official” Second Life organization or website. Read more about this license. 4. What if I have a domain name that uses “SL” with only one common noun? We’ve given you 90 days to transition to a new domain name that works with our special license. If you need additional time, please write us at tm-licensing@lindenlab.com and we’ll consider giving you permission to extend the 90 days or to forward the old domain name to your new one. For more on submitting a licensing request check out the FAQ. Just Fucking WOW2 |

| The blog entry's reply #36, by Razrcut Brooks, is the single stupidest comment I've ever seen in SL on any forums. (Sorry, Razrcut.) Starting with, "Please ignore all the uneducated neagativity[sic] by the minority of residents who do not 'get it.'" (I really hate it when people come in and suck up to the Lindens and encourage them to ignore everyone else.) And moving on through, "Many business/website/blog creators are upset because they cannot get away with capitalizing on LL’s success any longer." What an oxymoron. LL would literally not have the success it does were it not for the success of individual businesses in SL, and their concomitant websites and others. You might even say LL has quite literally piggybacked on OUR successes. To top it off, he suggests, "if you cannot see the difference in SL Ballet and SL Ballet Troupe then please use a lifeline and ask a buddy to explain it to you. …. kthksbye." Too bad he didn't just EXPLAIN the difference, then. I just got done asking here what the difference is, and I tell ya what, there IS no difference. The only difference is a "troupe" and a ballet company, such as San Francisco Ballet, is generally considered smaller than a company, and/or is a group who travels (but not always). Troupe: 1. a company, band, or group of singers, actors, or other performers, esp. one that travels about. –verb (used without object) 2. to travel as a member of a theatrical company; barnstorm. coco (I did get a kick out of somebody earlier on who asked what LL had against ballet! haha) Edit: I thought of a reason. Maybe there would be ANOTHER group that wanted to be known as SL Ballet. And rather than that group have to append something like "troop" onto the end, nobody gets to be SL Ballet, and everyone has to append something. |
