Ah, great, I cannot await it until the First Look viewer becomes the main viewer! Keep up to the good work on it, folks. :) Oh wow, Torley in da house… in my little, humble blog… *faints*

For example, you can also use Client menu's Console Window and that will show you the info, too. The Linden Lab issue # for this is SL-30647, but was closed as "won't resolve" due to the aforementioned. So while it's a casual deterrent, people with enough curiosity can get to it. And BTW (in regards to your other post), the bug is fixed in First Look Viewer and will hopefully roll out with a lot of other fixes, including the dang "invisible water" one. Glad you were inspired by me! =) Just to round out some context here, there are many, many ways to get stream URLs; it’s not particularly encrypted or anything like that, and my understanding is we can’t “special case” for this exception.

As a matter of fact, the visual punch added by the sports package focuses on a new set of 19-inch, twin-spoke wheels that offer a fairly unencumbered view of the silver-painted front <a href="http://www.mbpartswarehouse.com/mercedes_brakecaliper.html" rel="nofollow">Mercedes brake calipers</a> and cross-drilled rotors in the rear.

Hopefully they're able to generate finally some profit, too. But let's face it: I'm in SL since about half a year now. It is not as much fun ago than it was back in September, because the online player count grows day by day and there are still unfixed issues, mainly the almighty lag many of us experience. So if they want to grow also a fix of this should be top priority, this means adding more bandwidth, I guess and some other changes to the technical infrastructure. Because if the issues continue to go on, sooner or later the word will spread around and then people are going perhaps to avoid buying islands. When you've got a bad image it's very hard to turn it around, again. So - they better should fix it and fix it soon. I’m very happy so far they’re getting some income.

The profits will be used to invest in better software and a better experience in SL. They need lot's of funds to be able to fix the lag problem, and they really need to fix that to ensure growth. SL could become the next (3D) web, but only if it can scale up that big (without just keeping adding one island per 100 avatars :-p ). Let’s be very happy they are doing good.
