   It appears that SL has had its growth significantly affected by the credit crunch: http://secondlife.com/whatis/economy-graphs.php I'm not saying it definitely has been.

   First of all creating this clock was in all likelihood a major act of procrastination. Publicizing the clock: more procrastination. Me reading the article: more procrastination. You reading my post: more procrastination. Where does it end?

   When you spoke to him on the phone, did you tell him all of your concerns like you have here? From my experience when you spill your guts and explain to someone how the world looks from your perspective, people are normally sympathetic to y

    I reckon Facebook is pretty well established now. I don't think one resignation is going to hurt it too much.

    Introversion are my heroes. They make AAA games, dripping with gameplay, originality and style. The company consists of a handful of people and they have no publisher. If it wasn't for Introversion I would have given up hope for the whole i

    I enjoyed the HL reference. I reckon all it needs now is some users and some content. Well done.

    I'm reading 'The Road to Reality. A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe'. Be warned: Penrose doesn't use the word 'complete' lightly. Well worth the effort however.

    I totally agree. Government in generally is very good at introducing new laws whilst being not very good at enforcing the laws they've already introduced.

    I don't share in your cynicism or in your application of the phrase 'historically inevitable'. There are many technologies that were invented along time ago and that were historically inevitable that still haven't reached many parts of the
