[sldev] Re: Privacy Pocket (Second Life)

[Sylvio Deutsch]

But its the same thing in SL... you have total privacy in IMs...
If you turn off objects entry on your parcel, you can control things like 
this Eye of Horus (my friend cant because she is dealing with this on the 
Starfleet, where they need other people being able to bring and rezz 
objects).

Anyway, I´m not against you and everybody who wants it to have more 
privacy... my doubts are about impact implementation can have on the lag 
already immense... for instance... the invisible place and people would make 
for more lag? Or reduce it?

My connection is slow (256Kb -- on good days! : ) -- and two comps on SL 
almost all the time ) so for me increase in lag is very very bad, and for 
what i see around, most people also dislike it a lot.
