Comments on: LL Holds A Party — You Are Probably Not Invited http://alphavilleherald.com/2008/03/ll-is-holding-a.html Always Fairly Unbalanced Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Gershom http://alphavilleherald.com/2008/03/ll-is-holding-a.html/comment-page-1#comment-15434 Gershom Sat, 22 Mar 2008 16:33:49 +0000 http://localhost/wp_2/?p=814#comment-15434 It has always puzzled my why the number is 25. 25 isn't a power of 2 so it can't be that. And since most limits in data processing are power of 2 related, 25 seems rather arbitrary. It has always puzzled my why the number is 25. 25 isn’t a power of 2 so it can’t be that.

If Mono enabled then lag should be minimal, which would be a fantastic first for any event in SL, though I'm sure every female will be wearing their best 1000 prim hairdo, uberflexi/trans dresses, and AOs that conflict with the animations in their shoes, nipple rings, etc. Who knows. Perhaps thats why they've organized the party now, though as I recall they do them twice a year. While it might be more polite for LL to only contact concierge level customers privately via email (actually they did do this as well), I think the publicity thing is primarily a sales pitch to motivate loudmouth influence-mongers to want to pony up more money so they can compensate LL for taking the time to listen to them drone on about all the things they need to ban etc. Its not elitist, its called paying your way in second life. Oh and Prok: I'm not bringing Maldavius this time, so you should be safe, unless other guests want to take up the past-time of dancing on Prok's head.

Plenty of folks doing the bitching for me, eh. But, if you want to hear bitching for bitching's sake, fine - I'd just settle for a 26th group slot to handle this one. But then... if they know who the Concierge-level folks are, can't they just check against THAT for access instead of using Groups? Maybe alter the code for "Payment on file" so that there's a flag for "High roller" or "Spends a lot of bucks" or "We got you hooked, sucka!" or something like that? Then use that access flag as the gatekeeper for these things. Why do I get the feeling I'm going to be closing group chat for that group over and over, trying to make the "The sim is full!" and "I can't TP in!" and "Where are you?" and "Hi!" messages go away like I have to do with LME? Combine that with RFL backchat and Saturday's shaping up to be a hum-dinger of a noise day.

The maximum value of a fixed-width binary integer is one less than a power of two; also, the ANSI/ISO C standard insists that "int" be at least 32-bit, so a C compiler with 16-bit int is not standard-conforming.

I'll let you know what the party was like. It's not what you know, it's who you know. FIC all the way baby! I’d join the group in support but I don’t have any spaces left, sorry.
