Interestingly, one of the American soldier who gang raped a 14 year old girl, killed both her parents and sister, then shot her in the face, and set her on fire gets to get out prison in 10 years.
I've been in SL for over 2 year now and it seems to draw the worst kind of people.
For instance there are huge communities of people who are obsessed over the torture and enslavement of women, to the end that they treat women as animals. This has also leaked onto real life (ala Kaotians). Not to mention the horror stories I've heard from people who got into this after being involved in similar cults online.
I've had a friend from UK, who used to be a slave in one of these online cults. Her online Dom (Master) ordered her execution after not being satisfied with her. The order was carried out by her roommate who was also a slave to this dude (guy is in Denmark). This girl tied a rope around my friend while she was unconscious and tied the other end to her car and drove. Lucky the rope snapped and broke, but it put my friend in hospital for over 200+ days. While the girl who did this is in prison, the person who ordered this crime is still free.
Then there are the pedophiles, I've been campaigning against them for quite a while in Second Life. For the life of me, I cannot think why an adult want to have have sexual role play with another who is pretending to be a 2 or 5 year old boy or girl, and wears a photo mapped skin of real child (completely realistic with nothing censored). I do not understand these people and I think by their use of the photo mapped skin they are doing something illegal.
I've asked many times why Lindens allow this, but they have refused to answer this question.
I too have a subtle effect on machines. When I come near one, they instantly BSOD and usually try to install Linux preemptively much to the dismay of the machine's owner.
GoDaddy's CEO and founder has a little blog, that needs some attention right now.
On his Jan 18 entry he says:
I am concerned about control of the Internet.
The purpose was to meet Secretary Kneuer and to discuss face-to-face his general plans for ICANN and the Internet. Since there has been quite a lot of talk and fear about the governance of the Internet moving to the United Nations, I was quite interested to talk to Secretary Kneuer.
A strong ally in the battle for the Internet.
During lunch, Wayne (CEO of NRA) and I discussed the possibility and negative consequences of the Internet coming under U.N. control. Like me, Wayne knows it would be a big mistake for the USA to lose control of the Internet. He promised to do what he and the NRA could to see that doesn't happen. Given everything he and the NRA have accomplished, I know when the NRA speaks, it pays to listen.
It felt great to count an organization like the NRA among our friends in the battle over the Internet as it evolves. Quite frankly, we can use all the help we can get.
I think old time economists do not understand what value means. A good definition for "value" of an item could be had from Heinlein's book, "For Us, The Living" (probably his first book written but last to be published":
"Can you define value?"
"Well, perhaps not. I seem to know what it means."
"Marx defined it as a measure of the number of work-hours required to produce a given article. His definition was meaningless in the real world, and he ran into all sorts of difficulties, which he tried to avoid by patching the definition. But the definition was wrong and his beautiful, monumental, logical structure was invalid. He was important only as an agitator against social injustice and he contributed more error than truth to the art of economics. He made a similar mistake in assuming that a man lives in his belly rather than in his head. Animals do, but not men. They must serve their bellies, it is true, but aside from that, their motives may have nothing to do with economic considerations. Consequently Marx's Economic Determinism was not valid. But I've digressed again. Value in economics is a relationship between an individual and a thing or a service. It is a personal relationship which expresses how much a particular individual desires a thing or a service. Economic value of a thing or a service approximates the average of the summation of the personal values placed on the thing or service by the individuals who constitute the consuming public. Value plus purchasing power in the hands of the consuming public constitutes effective demand. Price is a function of supply and demand. Value may be expressed in dollars and cents through this complex functional relationship, but value is not price, and is not a measure of work-hours, it is a word used to express the desire of an individual to possess a thing or a service. I am not giving the word a new definition; I am simply stating explicitly the observed fact that such is what people mean when they speak of value. Sale takes place when the value to the prospective buyer is greater than the value to the owner. Note the difference between Marx's idea of value and that which I have expressed. Marx attempts to measure value by the amount of labor expended. Yet it is an obvious fact in the real world that an inefficient, careless, or unimaginative worker can slave for hours to produce an article practically worthless, that the public won't buy, valueless. An intelligent skillful inventive worker may turn out in a short time an article that the public will snap up at once at a high price. Which has the greater value?
In this regard, the items in SecondLife, to me personally do have value, but I understand someone outside SL would not see the value in SL goods, as they would consider things to have value only when they can touch and see it.
I attribute value in SL, to things that were created artistically, with a quality greater than than just a bunch of primites put together. You can see how much time and effort was put into such works and how they came from talented people.
I've bought stuff in SL just based on how it would amuse me, how it would entertain me, how it would make my SL experience better. I think this is the reason why we buy things in our everyday life as well. SL is no different from that.
For example, my girl friend spends more time and money on SL than me. The things she buys in SL has value to her cause it enriches her gaming experience and entertains her. It's no different than buying a dress or outfit real life, or buying a pair of designer shoes, or cds.
Having said that, I do feel there are pyramid schemes within SL. For example there are banks in SL with investment returns of 180%. These are mostly Ponzi schemes much like what existed in Eve Online. And only someone really desperate would invest in them.
When Anshe Chung started SL, she was a in-game prostitute (ala Escort). I still have one of her early (well 2 years ago), note cards that listed all her prices.
Not only this, she was also an escort in the AC and SWG (where such things were against the ToS). I guess with a little of money people try to pretend their past does not exist. Interesting, her Wikipedia entry had massive edits that tried to erase her working girl years (from her).
My name is Anshe Chung. I am a female escort in SecondLife. If you explored other virtual worlds you might know me from AC1, SB or SWG. Yes, it is me *giggles*:-)
?
If you are nice and generous to me like a real gentleman or lady I can be your private entertainer. I will be delighted to make you happy in many ways performing for you, providing you company during your travels or a tender massage in your home:-)
Since my timezone is PST+9 you can usually find me between 10 am PST and 3 pm PST or very late on saturday nights.
Some services I provide:
(PG rated - 500$/h) o Escort/Travel o Massage o Conversation o Playing games o Introduction to Chinese language and culture o Introduction to AV positioning o Photo shooting
(M rated - you must be adult - starting at 1000$/h) o Exotic Massage o Love o Cyberian Angel o Black Mistress o Ghost Control
Or just tell me what you like to do:-)
?
It is fine if you are human man or woman, both is nice. If you are alien or animal I can only provide company but not intimate service. I also speak Chinese, German and some French if you feel more comfortable in one of those languages or if you like to practise your foreign language skills:-)
I do not do RL meetings or any other service outside the SL world. Also please no snapshots while we are intimate. Sorry. This is an iron rule. However I have no problem to use third party age or gender verification services if that matters to you:-)
?
I am a material girl with a money fetish - this means I get very kinky if you give me a nice gift. I don't know why. It kinda happens. Just a reaction of my body getting very hot. Maybe because I feel you show me special appreciation. So many boys want to make love and have nice words, but not so many boys really give up something they cherrish. This is why I ask for a little tip when you meet me:-)
If you really wanted tom poison someone, you would of course have to come up with a way to remove the invisible amount of material from the exempt sources - which is just about physically impossible and combine them together....
In addition, there are dozens of other far more toxic materials, like Ricin and Abrin, which can easily be made using common plant material, and are also undetectable as a poison and untraceable.
We have been testing our security software with Cedega. Cedega was used and tested before the security procedures and during the security procedures. From this testing we have yielded no hits, meaning Cedega, by itself, does not incur an account suspension.
We have accounts of several Cedega users who have been playing normally during the time that these processes are running. Again, these people are not being suspended simply because of using Cedega or Linux.
We are in contact with the people at Cedega and following up with them regarding individual accounts.
By all estimation of the facts, the OP's supposition is false. We continue to monitor the situation to prevent cases of false positives and to rectify them if they do occur.
I have a friend who is a great programmer/autistic, he plays WoW on Linux, even got rid of his ATI card to play the game better. I know for a fact that this man would not lie and I believe him completely when he explained how he was banned.
He uses CT Raid, Pearl Unit Fram, Decursive and Self Heal, those are the only mods he uses and they are Lua ones that are internal to WoW.
Blizzard banned him with a note saying using 3rd party software etc etc. I think this is complete bs. Their Warden program is giving a false positive cause he was running WoW under Linux, and this flagged it as being a 3rd party program (along the lines of bots and etc).
He has been trying to reach their support the whole day, and only had been able to get canned responses, Blizzard has no phone support btw.

Every other command after starting a root shell does NOT get logged at all. All you can tell from this is when someone started the root shell. Whatever happened after that is a mystery.
All that is in bash history for the root user. And anyone who knows how to clean that can clean the log as well.

If it's a dupe, just click on the FireHose Link, then find the article (some magic involved). After that vote against it.
I believe this works.

Pedos do not have rights. Infact, I hope they end up in federal pound me in the ass prison.
If you included every texture, object, notecard, I think way back in June it came to around 500 DVD's worth of data.
