man, if that does refer to Snowcrash, this is giving my first time reading of the book a truly 'virtual' dimension.

Don't make me open the book again. Please don't.

I can answer this one:
"When you raise chicks you advance them the grain which, when they become hens, they will repay you in eggs.
But when a young hen doesn't lay when it matures, what becomes of it?"

On the Foothills of Mount Analogue

Quote:

“And what if someone does not manage to pay his debt?” Arthur Beaver had asked.
“When you raise chicks,” he was told, “you advance them the grain which, when they become hens, they will repay you in eggs. But when a young hen doesn’t lay when it matures, what becomes of it?”
And each of us had swallowed his saliva in silence.

Occam's razor is a logical principle attributed to the mediaeval philosopher

William of Occam (or Ockham). The principle states that one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed. This principle is often called the principle of parsimony. It underlies all scientific modelling and theory building.

It admonishes us to choose from a set of otherwise equivalent models of a given phenomenon the simplest one. In any given model, Occam's razor helps us to "shave off" those concepts, variables or constructs that are not really needed to explain the phenomenon. By doing that, developing the model will become much easier, and there is less chance of introducing inconsistencies, ambiguities and redundancies.

Offhand, it looks like this portion of the SL TOS:

Quote:

1.1 Basic description of the service: Second Life, a multi-user environment, including software and websites.

"Second Life" is the multi-user online service offered by Linden Lab, including the software provided to you by Linden Lab (collectively, the "Linden Software") and the online environments that support the service, including without limitation: the server computation, software access, messaging and protocols that simulate the Second Life environment (the "Servers"), the software that is provided by Linden Lab and installed on the local computer or other device you use to access the Servers and thereby view or otherwise access the Second Life environment (the "Viewer"), application program interfaces provided by Linden Lab to you for use with Second Life (the "APIs"), and access to the websites and services available from the domain and subdomains of Second Life: Official site of the free 3D online virtual world (the "Websites"). The Servers, Viewer, APIs, Websites and any other Linden Software collectively constitute the "Service" as used in this Agreement.

1.2 Linden Lab is a service provider, which means, among other things, that Linden Lab does not control various aspects of the Service.

You acknowledge that Linden Lab is a service provider that may allow people to interact online regarding topics and content chosen by users of the service, and that users can alter the service environment on a real-time basis. Linden Lab generally does not regulate the content of communications between users or users' interactions with the Service.

Aki Shichiroji · 07-31-2008, 11:34 PM

perhaps something in the encrypted text is missing when compared to the actual TOS? *shrugs*

Dnate Mars · 07-31-2008, 11:34 PM

I read the news today oh, boy
Four thousand holes in blackburn, lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the albert hall

That's Adam's suggestion, either that or added, but I'm too drained right now to compare.

Genevieve Lutetia · 07-31-2008, 11:40 PM

As an aside, the 'holes in Blackburn, Lancashire' John Lennon wrote about were allegedly taken from some newspaper report on the state of roads in Lancashire, which were so bad the journalist calculated the number of pot holes per person in the county.

JL apparently found that absurd....
