Good one, well done on getting more relevant and topical guests, and great discussion on SL9B.
Yes, there will be… what is it… 20 sims (one less than last year, but then who needs the Linden Bear collection unless to use it as a shooting gallery), but those who can’t do the 234prim/32×32/G-rated/low-script/no-listeners can always put up a G-rated portal build that invites people to head off, or there can be a collected off-SL9B sim portal for those types who don’t want the full build. (Kinda like LL’s Destination island for newbies, but not random.)
Region Idling… so they’re not core-locked, and they do multi-thread and spill over? So as regions-per CPU density increases, my risk of having an a-hole lag-hell CPU-neighbor who doesn’t manage their resources is increasing? And in the end, Region-Idling rewards the jerks who pig out on resources by offering them more as opposed to price breaks for those who run efficiently?
Lovely. *sigh* Must… stop… trying… to… think… about… this… rationally…
Um… LOWER THE PRICES!
-ls/cm, time to put my brain in a jar… a cookie jar
That’s hilarious. Story telling for the Angry Birds crew. People mindlessly flicking things across the screen are not interested in text adventures, just another glaring comment about how out of touch Linden Lab is with reality.
