Example text

4, by mistake, there is no way to undo the command and the prim will move out of sight and edit range – when this happens the numbers that are entered no longer show in the edit box, so one cannot see the mistake, making it extraordinarily difficult to find the prim. In this way, prims can end up underground, or high above. They can even be moved to onto a neighbouring sim. Lost prims reduce the number of items that can be rezzed on a given block of land, which can lead to unnecessary lag. Worse still, due to the rather haphazard way mainland sims are managed, a lost, lag producing prim may stay for a long time (perhaps even years) before some one will return it.

7 Connectivity Second Life provides for connectivity with external systems through the use of HTTP connections out to web sites, and XMLRPC connections from outside into Second Life objects. In addition, video can be streamed in and out of Second Life from web sites or directly from devices such as mobile phones via a QuickTime server. Second Life also enables email to be sent out to the real world and voice to be used for communication within world. There are some problems with connectivity. The XMLRPC capability allows only one active request at any one time, and communications are currently unreliable due to being UDP-based.

However, many content/object builders still use them, though often not in items they sell. The inability to resize them is also a difficulty since they are specific sizes, which are often different from what is required. The ambiguity of megaprims is very frustrating to content authors; their very existence implies that larger size prims should be available, but LL stays with the 10x10x10 maximum size. The fact that LL did not kill them is also an indication that even the creators of Second see value in them.
