I smoke a lot, not sure I want my clove cigarettes talking back to me...
Clove: Aio, I'm the fifth cigarette you've had in twenty minutes, perhaps you should go back in and work?
Aio: But there's still 15 of you delicious cancer sticks in the box!
Clove: We know this Aio, please go back to work, we're picking up a ticket in your queue...
Aio: One more...
Clove: Go back now or we'll explode in 5...4...3...
If we're lucky the records from our time will be spotty at best and they'll think, "Our ancestors were very smart to bury this energy for us in a manner that it would only appear to us now, and when we truly need it."
For some reason this sounds like a scifi plot. Of course, if it's like the nuclear waste I must deal with, I'll just leave a post-it somewhere that reads, "Jiggle the handle!"
Thanks or the broad over generalization of the populations of second life.
To be fair, each group has it's mentally unbalanced perverts. You should see half the stuff the groups claiming to be part of anonymous do in there. And so far as non perverted furries being mentally unbalanced, let me give a nice hearty 'fuck you' from all us mentally unbalanced non-perverts.
The big problem with SL's populations is that, as you've noted in a non direct way, sex sells. And SL sells a lot of sex. Not going to deny that. If you log in and sex is all you see, then it was probably what you expected/wanted to see, so stop yer bitchin. If you want to see some of the fun stuff happening in SL, check out this place: http://sl.nmc.org/
What's the appeal of SL? Well, I imagine most people come for the hopes of cranking out a quick one to pixels. I go cause my friends hang out there, we build the occassional 'thing' or play with the scripting language or sit back and throw up funny stuff from 4chan or 420chan or any of the chans really and have a good laugh while BSing.
Containing orange (or green) flip-flops, bermuda shorts, a shirt with either pineapples or tropical fish on it, some cheap sunglasses, a straw hat, some sun-screen nose rub (preferably blue) and a can of macadamia nuts.
Maybe those lecturers should assign coursework that can't be done by a rent-a-coder in India. An assignment that tracks the amount of hamburgers that can be made from assorted breeds of cattle?
People can, and do, quit MMOs. I quit WoW not long ago. No big reason, no epic struggle, I was just kinda bored of it. I hadn't been playing enough to justify my subscription so I stop the recurring charge. I hear you. I quit this week. Just got bored. It's a good game and my friends there were nice, but the pattern was always the same: Log in, check mailbox, get coins from AH, put unsold stuff back on AH, check quest list, complete quests from lowest to highest, maybe level in the process, sell off junk, create pots for AH, put stuff on AH, repeat.
I'm probably going to get stuff like, "You gotta know how to make the game fun!" or maybe even "You're doing it wrong!" but that's all there really was to it for me. It was no different than EQ2 at it's higher levels. Grind grind grind. Grinding with your friends is fun, but for a casual player, setting up meeting times for a game seemed to run counter to 'have fun'. Constantly repeating the same process over and over and over, just for slightly better gear or a small bragging trinket.
I let my guildies know I would be 'taking leave'. That way they can keep in touch with me. Now, I spend more time getting out to socialize or spend time on other hobbies.
(except in the states whos names start and end with a vowel) Oklahoma? There wasn't much noise about that here.. I had one coworker who was 'EXTREMELY UPSET!' that they would put porn in a game.. Then we talked about it and I showed him what had to be done just to see it and what it actually looked like and he was like, "They're raising a stink about this?" He's a nice guy, two daughters who play games, somewhat religious (he's not of 'holy roller' status like a few of my coworkers are), and even he thought it was a stupid lawsuit.
Looks just like Oblivion Except much shittier... Oh... and YES, I quoted myself! Least I'm not alone. I thought the 'shittier' one had to be Oblivion since it came before Limbo. Was somewhat surprised when I looked at the captions. Not even the effort to make it prettier?

Will the astronauts (cosmonauts) have to wear skimpy revealing space suits now that are color coordinated to their jobs?
Man, I wish Mitch was still alive. His commedy was the best. Okay, I'll go back to on topic now...
Does this mean Sprite can now sue the people adding lime to the ocean?

I am genius when it comes to string parsing! Good thing too, I needed the ego boost.
Out of curiosity, have you ever seen actual 'ruggedized' military equipment?
Take a peek at these: http://www.amrel.com/federal_military_computer/rocky_patriot_rugged_notebook.html
This isn't even going into the fire systems equipment that is ruggedized.
It takes a lot of preparation for them to reach this point and file proceedings, consider:
Because preparations A thru G have failed...

Don't like it? Don't visit. Very simple.
Are they in different containers? Gotta keep em separated, after all...
Ero-manga?
Did anyone else read "An international research group has created the most perfect spheres ever made" and think boobs?
Careful, they might use that as proof that it's 'working'. Gotta find out who 'they' are...
Biplanes piloted by penguins?

Satellite easy to spot, has the 'ass orgy' license plate hanging off it.

My bad, I could have sworn they had a PG-sim/auto-hide detection script...
Perhaps his mistake was that he wasn't Rick James, bitch!
By chance, does Rodney Jobs have a goatee?
Can I get one of these flashguns for that? I'll show those ducks who the boss is!
I shall hang it under! And everytime I wipe my ass, I shall think of you. >.>
I dunno... It would require listening to Vanilla Ice... Is it okay if I just take your word for it?
