		<description>This is just another screw-up by LL besides their buggy age verification system that does not work half as good as it should. Over the last year I tried several times to verify my age, always failed. I than had been asked to scan several legal papers including ID and bills. Certainly wont do this and send them to some &quot;unknown&quot; person or 3rd. party to allow them to verify the age and at the same time take a copy for whatever purpose.

The whole billing, tier increase, age verification and even the SLim client are not even a joke but amateur services. One more reason to take the opensimulator more into account. Since OS has become more stable in the last releases and some of the grids are quite promising now. Legend City being one of them with working curency and permission system.

New unemployment claims surge unexpectedly
Thursday December 11, 11:03 am ET
By Christopher S. Rugaber, AP Economics Writer
New unemployment claims rise more than expected as layoffs continue amid recession

WASHINGTON (AP) -- New claims for jobless benefits rose more than expected last week, exceeding even gloomy expectations for an economy stuck in a recession that seems to be deepening.

And So the Yahoo Layoffs Finally Begin. But a New CEO? Not That Soon
Posted by: Rob Hof on December 10

In a blog post starkly titled “Tough times,” Yahoo cofounder and CEO Jerry Yang announced that the embattled Internet icon’s long-awaited layoffs have begun. Yang’s memo to the depleted troops follows after the jump. But by now, with the layoff already announced in October, there’s not much new to say, and while I’m sure he’s sincere, Yang’s farewell sounds pretty boilerplate. (UPDATE: Yahoos and others, let us know in comments below or email me what you’re hearing from the front.)

This morning, Yahoo folks who haven’t been called into individual meetings with managers are waiting tensely and hoping they’ll still have a job by this afternoon. Those with a morbid fascination with what really has been an inevitable cost-cutting move by Yahoo can catch up with anonymous Yahoos venting on Silicon Alley Insider. If their comments are to be believed (and I don’t question most of them), the 1,500 or so layoffs, about 10% of the workforce, are coming throughout the world, from Sunnyvale headquarters to Oregon to New York and Cambridge.

You&#039;d better snap yourself back into the realm of the REAL...

If you&#039;re a paid account holder you&#039;d better ditch the credit card relationship before 12/31/08 and make sure you call &quot;billing&quot; to get a written confirmation of that closed account status! Then, call your credit card company and make sure to block &quot;Linden Lab&quot; from further transactions - it&#039;s the only way to be sure ya know and only takes a few minutes on the phone.

Reliable inside sources state that &quot;the cashflow crunch&quot; for the Lab already started to get serious back in late September/early October...

Don&#039;t get stuck with your ass hanging out!

		<description>There will be quite a few closed grids that lease. or will lease service space as Linden does. Not all grids will be open host your own type grids. Don&#039;t let it be a misnomer that those who provide a service are all geared towards the end user hooking up their own computer servers to the service. Not all are.

		<description>What Alyx said.

Oh, and OpenSim, yes, cracked and broken.  Well - maybe, maybe not, but it places the barrier to entry pretty high.  You have to have monster bandwidth, and  you have to provide your own server.  Who has that?  Very few.  So, certainly not a Nigra&#039;s dream, since it&#039;s all they can do to pay for burgers, generally, let alone hardware, since most of them just wash dogs for a living.

OpenLifeGrid, though, is another matter, since you don&#039;t have to provide your own server to play there.  Whether they can handle the influx of SL refugees or not remains to be seen as well, and frankly, I&#039;m betting &quot;no&quot;.

		<description>@Soto Hax: &quot;The future lies with the Open Simulator project&quot;

Ha ha, no. The Open Sim project is like a harlequin baby - cracked and broken right from its conception.

Now, for the idiots squealing like pigs in a slaughterhouse about &#039;wire fraud&#039;, get real - This is clearly a mistake.

I&#039;m usually one of the first to point out how awful LL are, but they&#039;re far more stupid then they are criminal.

But seriously guys, you&#039;re all sitting here bitching about LL&#039;s evil ponzi scheme, and yet, LL already has all of your credit card data. You can&#039;t really be angry at LL for fooling stupid schmucks like yourselves into giving away all of your personal information just so you could play with virtual penises.
