The developer of PPRS (a client of mine) has been informed by the Lab of this decision, since those kind of systems are considered unfair gaming of search results.Peter Stindberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187648076397777162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-10877454927363513102010-03-11T22:29:21.085-08:002010-03-11T22:29:21.085-08:00Not without putting others in a position they'...Not without putting others in a position they'd rather not be in, by request. I <i>will</i> say if they've been functioning in start-up mode all this time, and are now transitioning to more traditional incorporation of assets (and the mention of a board of directors behind the upper echelon does tend towards this concept), it would explain a lot of the feeling on the ground of Linden instability.Emilly Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245643246821826101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-51692724751573497802010-03-11T22:23:46.845-08:002010-03-11T22:23:46.845-08:00Any way to back those numbers up?

Although, <i>if</i> the Lab is pushing from a startup culture to a corporate culture, you'd expect to see about a 75%+ churn in the process, given their size. That would be normal.<br /><br />Truthfully, few businesses survive that transition, but every growing business must attempt it or failure is guaranteed.Tateru Ninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14511461929629749578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-11604104947548363762010-03-11T22:18:14.986-08:002010-03-11T22:18:14.986-08:00On average there should be around three to five ev...<i>On average there should be around three to five every month, more or less.</i><br /><br />That's about average for most technological and manufacturing firms, yes.

There doesn't seem to be any abatement on that front.<br /><br />In actual numbers, the Lab seems to be churning employees a lot slower than you'd expect from a business their size. Perhaps that's because we don't hear about the majority of the departures. On average there should be around three to five every month, more or less.Tateru Ninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14511461929629749578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-5198351952110249512010-03-11T19:00:42.969-08:002010-03-11T19:00:42.969-08:00Honestly, I should give up on them, though to be f...Honestly, I should give up on them, though to be fair--whether the renumeration is in a <i>low</i> amount of Lindens, or in products, most are a reasonably fair deal. Ish. Karu Karu got mentioned because of the sheer boldness of the deception involved--there is <i>nothing</i> on the signboard that says one must be in the group, and <i>nothing</i> on the signboard--until clicked--that mentions <i>only</i> twenty clicks per day.<br /><br />I maintain two profile picks, and one rotating. The one is whatever catches my interest, and I want to support for a while--currently, that's Roewenwood, but before that, it was House of Sanu for, oh, a good eight months--and the other two, of course, are Adam & Eve (because I adore Damen Gorilla's shoes, and I like both of them), and Twisted Thorn Textures (who have become my primary texture resource on the grid).<br /><br />As far as your Holmes and Sherlock comment? I don't believe you're wrong. <i>But</i>, as such sights can <i>also</i> be seen in Caledon proper, it can be seen as Caledonia, over movie tie-in.<br /><br />Of course, the "Free AVATAR" banners with Na'vi--or simple blue avatars--leave no room for doubt. (Though the last one, Miss Neome says resembles Mystique, not a Na'vi. So yay, they're violating copyright for the X-Men, too! Wonderful to find the Lindens have <i>zero</i> standards on this.)Emilly Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245643246821826101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-51445923098356935462010-03-11T18:44:23.708-08:002010-03-11T18:44:23.708-08:00I am horribly mathphobic, and thus I may be quite ...I am horribly mathphobic, and thus I may be quite wrong, but if the current linden rate is around 260 lindens to US$1, then L$25 is less than ten cents.<br /><br />Which doesn't address, of course, the utter insanity of the situation. I guess this is another reason I don't bother with pecuniary profile-picks programs.<br /><br />Strange. One of the images of the SL widget on your pages is giving me Holmes-Watson vibes. I'm sure I am imagining things ... Holmes & Co. didn't fly in a dirigible in the latest movie, did they?Magdalena Kamenevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704815488913145647noreply@blogger.com
