I do agree with Jonathan Snow on the speed of the wiki. It is awful. I have to admit - I NEVER use it.
My recommendation for Scripters: http://www.lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=HomePage
It is searchable and IMHO the most complete wiki out there. Lots of useful explanations and code examples.
Out of curiosity I visited the official IBM sim. Boy was I impressed at the number of people there... a whopping 1, just me! I'm sorry but CEO stuff, keynotes and how SL is a technology, I just don't see it. If I want to buy a car or a stereo or TV I visit a proper web page, with proper content, text and images, PDF brochures, a real on-line store. Not some cheesy 3d mock up that ultimately points me to a web site in the end, because SL can't replace the web. I just don't see the business angle, it's a game and the business angle regarding big business is lame. I can see it being used for meetings, that's about it, quite frankly. And even that's pushing it, if you consider the learning curve and how bad some people are with computers in general. lol
Selling t-shirts and in-world object, that's a different market all together.
I've tried to get several of my on-line friends (from ICQ, Yahoo etc.) to try SL with little if any luck. Firstly, they never heard of it, then they look at the site and some refuse to even bother. The ones that did try it didn't stay. They got bored with it, the sluggishness and bugs, etc.
That's my take on SL after over a year. I'm to the point where I go weeks on end without using it. It's become like ICQ, but with cuter avatars. :)
Thank you, Torley, for making ban line heights easy to find!

Hello ????? What’s up with that , this is a rather personal and private information about my software settings !!
What will we see next ?
llGetAgentDrawDistance()
llGetAgentComputerInformation()
llGetAgentEmail()
llGetAgentIP()
Am I forced now to use the client in foreign language settings to protect my personal informations about me ?
Till now it was my choose to give out informations where I come from , but now the LSL does the first steps to turn into spy ware !
I wonder about which big company had pay to get that informations enable .
What will we see next , ad spots every 5 minutes in your native language ?
Answer that questions LL !
===============================================
The idea isn't for privacy, it's for usability. For instance, i put on my Breach .44 pistols, and it tells me it's up to date in 8 languages. if it could see what language i was using, it could tell me in just that ONE
also, people will be able to make things pick what to say to you, depending on what your language is for instance "Sorry, no english help available"
Would like to say hi to all my sl friends wish there was a way to do that when i cant get on. like have a way on contacting them on the web site under friends online. for people who cant go on cause somethings wrong with the comp. I love sl its like a big family and I miss all of you guys if you see my message im working on comming back love you all. but it would be nice to tell them im ok somehow ..
/me sniffs.. I could only find 3 bears plus the two that aren't for sale.

@38: Silly and worthless, huh? Seems you didn't even understand my post. In the future, before posting silly and worthless replies, read more closely. Thanks in advance.
Rascal @134: Hey, I've done my apologizing...sheesh, when did my name become the definition of 'RC'? (That's a joke, btw.)
And I *wish* my card was high-end and all that... you're obviously not up to speed on the graphics card market. I invite you to visit newegg.com and browse some products, read reviews and compare prices. You won't see my videocard in the "high-end, professional, expensive" crowd.

Nearly all of the 'new' things in this update are bug fixes. What more do you want?
I found the bears for Phillip and Prospero Linden were not for sale, and Kate confirmed that those two were permenant display there, and not intended to be there for easy collecting. But I found no less than ELEVEN other bears on I-World Island that I COULD collect! Some are hidden really well, an ya gotta look all over. That was a fun treasure hunt! I roller-skated all over the place, an had ta fly ta get one of 'em!
