"uni-" does not imply possibilities or impossibilities, the prefix means =
one, but this is by no means implying exclusivity (as in "only"). There =
could be infinite universes, each a separate singular entity. A =
universe is an enclosed system to be sure, but not necessarily the only =
enclosed system in existence. =20

Meet me in !Friends later. We can debate this if you like. :)

Latest AWC Press release casts a bit of light on it's latest moves

[View Quote] No, not really. You can already do some streaming. AW doesn't say it =

your machine. I don't have a shoutcast station set up, but I think it =
would be possible to do streaming with that into AW as well. I haven't =

experimented with it in AW.

Like I said, I think it's already possible through Shoutcast.

I'm not into watching porno videos in the worlds, nor am I into =

I have a station set up through mp3.com. I'd like to try the shoutcast =
station thing, but I'm on dialup modem, and so that's impractical as the =
quality of stream would not be very good.

[View Quote] In case you didn't notice, lots of people HAVE come up with constructive =

[View Quote] Regardless of that, Joe, wouldn't it have been prudent (not to mention =
polite) to inform world owners at least 24 hours in advance that they =
were sending a bot through the worlds, with a brief explanation of the =
purpose of doing so? =20

Come to think of it, here's a good question, has AWC sent email to world =
owners (as a group) about anything, ever? Just wondering if there is a =

communicating.

Ok, and you think that's all it was doing, eh?

A bot like that can not only grab the world title, welcome message, and =
keywords, it can also grab the builder's list and then it's database can =
be used to identify which world cit#123456 has builder's rights in, and =
once it knows that, it can be programmed to systematically go from one =
world to the next destroying cit#123456's builds while leaving the rest =
of those worlds intact.

That's just one example of what could be done with the information =
contained in the World Rights box.

How much more money do they expect us to pay before we even get a =

And they have hopes of selling this browser on a CD?

If people would quit lamenting the fact that these newsgroups are so =
crappy and do something about it, they would get better. If you want =
better newsgroups here, it's up to each and every one of you to make =
them better. This doesn't mean that a vicious game of "Stomp the Twit" =
will make these newsgroups better either. Post thoughtful, intelligent =
posts and don't respond to flamebait. Use common sense, good judgment, =
and manners when you write a post.

Don't rely on the "company" to enforce an arbitrary set of rules that =
you'll have no input in forming. For one thing, it's been shown over =
time that many of the members here have a better sense of what's going =
on than the "company officials" do.

If you want better newsgroups, make them better.
