The difference is god would have created the football field, and the players, and could have created them in another configuration which would have led to another outcome which he would know beforehand.
The secondlife servers runs on linux and so would need to use Mono. I don't think Mono was mature when Secondlife was created so chances are it's not written in.Net.
It's much more likelly to be written in C or C++.
SL is not the best choice for this. The dynamic nature of the world requires a powerful graphic card and lots of ram if you want to have something that looks good on screen.
They could probably make it run easilly on a XBox 720 though.
Then just say goodbye to Youtube and just about every site that lets users share media with others. It would be prohibitively expensive to filter every posted videos.
The obvious advantage is that you can pile up lots of sheets of paper. We could make little compact devices filled with this paper to power our equipments.
It's another way to function.
You can be a self man made, like in the US. Providing money for yourself and your familly and keeping most of it. But knowning that:
- people with less sucess will panhandle on the pavement or break into your house at night to rob you.
- masses of people can't afford an education and vote for whatever party has the best looking candidate.
- you can go bankrupt paying for your children's cancer treatment.
- you can see your relative die because you can't afford treatment.
- you and your familly can end up in the street because you can't afford the rent anymore.
- your kids can end up as second class citizens on the work market because you can't afford to send them to college
Or you can live in a country that takes 75% of your earnings but where you know that:
- you won't die because you can't afford healthcare
- you won't go bankrupt because healthcare is expensive
- you and your familly won't die in the cold because you can't afford to house yourself
- your kids won't end as groceries packer because you can't afford to send them into college.
- few people around are so desperate as to rob you so that they can eat.
- people are likely well educated and less vulnerable to demagogy during election times.

The large fixed price won't be increased, but new taxes will be created to help fill the large deficit of this free music system.
Isn't it all imaginary money anyway ?
sate their sexual urges. Just give them a PC and a Second Life account. Onanism is surelly a smaller sin than rape.

Actually, it'll be a good test of intelligence when a computer is able to troll on the Internet.
But what if you have to create a record everytime an atom leaves home to get groceries? If time is infinite we're screwed!
And to allow maximum flexibility, that table should be have these columns only: foreign key, name, value.
Not insane at all. Britain just needs to discover another Australia.
It's just in time for the upcoming presidential election in 2012 too!
I really hope they aim for 100000 a day soon. Let's see in the election results if there are more artists in France than downloaders.
It's green energy and you have to drill to get it.
It's the ESA, not NASA ; you'll need a dozen more launches.

You mean... outside the USA?

It's a good time to script a throwing chair animation for Second Life then.

A multi thread DF would be a nice first step toward this, but the author won't even consider it apparently.
... and introduced random segmentation faults. No thanks, I prefer a game that runs.
Hadopi could be remembered in the future as an important boost to online privacy for net users :)
Just the most supid government. Oh, and you forgot to add "ministers helping their millionaire buddies escape taxes"
IBM and the USA have a divine right to building the largest supercomputer or something?

If you had bought an *Intel* SSD it would boot in 10 seconds!
