10/27   Dear miserable soda undergrads and the incompetent and stupid
        politburo members who are out of touch with the real world, you
        guys seriously need a life.

        \_ "Millions of Linden Dollars change hands every month for the goods
           and services Residents create and provide. This currency may then be
           bought and sold on third party sites for real currency. Many of
           these sites even offer in-world "ATM" machines to facilitate
           transactions." Isn't that illegal in the U.S.?
           \_ not as long as you pay your income taxes

4/8     What's a good free e-mail provider? I don't want to use Gmail,
        Yahoo, Outlook, or any of those sites with features I never use that
        track my personal info and keep changing their interface. I want just
        simple e-mail without privacy issues or all the baggage these large,
        for-profit companies are adding. I might even be willing to pay.
        Recommendations?

9/4     It looks like there are some issues with wallall at the moment. Any
        plans for it getting fixed? I can run wall, but wallall just gives an
        error.

Overview Second Life is a virtual world - a 3D online persistent space totally cre ated and evolved by its users. Within this vast and rapidly expanding pl ace, you can do, create or become just about anything you can imagine. B uilt-in content creation tools let you make almost anything you can imag ine, in real time and in collaboration with others. An incredibly detail ed digital body ('Avatar') allows a rich and customizable identity. A po werful physics simulation running on a backbone of hundreds of connected computers and growing with the population allows you to be immersed in a visceral, interactive world that as of April 2005 covers more than 12, 000 acres and 20,000 owned plots of land. The ability to design and rese ll 3D content, combined with the ability to own and develop land and a m icrocurrency, which can be exchanged to real money means that you can bu ild a real business entirely within Second Life. If you are simply curious about what it would be like to wander a world f illed with colorful people in which the only limits are imagination, you will find the Second Life software easy to install, and the basic exper ience of moving around and experiencing the world simple and fun, with m any friendly people waiting to help you once you arrive. If you are a 3D content creator, entrepreneur, game developer, artist, or software developer, Second Life is guaranteed to blow your mind. It is a palette for creative self-expression like nothing you have ever seen. The possibilities in Second Life are unlimited, but here are some example s of experiences: Explore A Boundless World of Surprise and Adventure * Roam a 3D living landscape full of exciting places and things * Visit neighborhoods, shopping malls, nightclubs, sports arenas, churc hes, libraries, casinosvirtually every space that exists in the real world * Adventure in castles, space stations, dungeons, Wild West towns, and cities in the skyvirtually everything from the infinite universe of the imagination * Travel on foot, or by planes, trains, and flying saucers; gondolas, f uel-injected muscle cars, mechanical unicorns, fearsome gun ships, giant snails, smog-belching mech robots, stardust-powered magic broomsticksor on your own power, with the innate ability that all Residents have, to teleport and fly at will Create Anything you can Imagine * Alter your characters appearance to look like anything - an imaginar y superhero, a mythical monster, or your own mirror image * Change your reality with simple but sophisticated 3D creation tools: build houses, design furniture; create clothing, jewelry, and art * Learn the Linden Scripting Language to give life to your creations: w eapons that shoot, vehicles that traverse the air, land, and sea;
