How true. Mine offers seven but you gotta pay extra. Most of us are bold enough to just hijack the ISP account from our parents

Sure did take the M60 to that idea. Interesting how he took the ideas of a few idiot children to be the overriding factor (Boycotts,
etc.) when you stated that the Union reps would weed through that muck for them, and present in an organized fashion the desires of
the community. However, he himself states that

My reply continued inline below.

In effect, the COMMUNITY is already standing seperate from the COMPANY, with only a few pillars still supporting the structure.
Techtalk, where we mindlessly present ideas to Roland, who has little power to implement them, the monotony only broken by new
releases. Tech support, and precious little actual involvement in the community are all we have to stand on besides Roland.

In response to Facter, the union would not be a reflection of only these groups, but anyone who wishes to provide somthing to be
reflected. If these newsgroups are the only entities that provide material, then it is a truly sad shape that the community is in.
Already, we are divided. Tourists, citizens, those who care, those who don't, and those who don't know. Everyone is taking sides. If
the children are allowed to run rampant in their revolution, a fairly large boycott or the like is quite possible, if not inevitable
in the future. By that time, the community's mainstay events, the Cy Awards, Festival and the like, will have been torn to pieces,
the cys truly becoming a popularity contest, and the Festival, rather than being a celebration of another year of a strong
community, will become just a time for preteen warmongers to plan their next year of "resistance" against AWC. Look at the universe
logs. Out of the total number of named citizens, how many log in at least once a week? With each week, you'll notice it decline.
People are leaving, and at an alarming rate. In June two years ago, I had fifty people on my contacts list. How many of them still
use the program? Three...

*shrug* The simplicity that it was to add the URL to each citizen's webpage would be the same simplicity that it would be to add the
URL to a custom av. Instead of passing it to the internal browser, pass it to be rendered.

Mmmmmmm. Textures should be searched for on the world's OP, then the SAME DIRECTORY AS THE AVATAR ZIP, then in the relative
directory to the avatar zip ../textures/texture.jpg

Same with seqs, AW path, then same dir, then ../seqs

Preventing theft... Don't make the avatar URL publicly available, except if someone is watching cache. Filesize should be a locally
set limit.

I honestly can't think of any way to control physical size except for *eject*, and custom avs should be a RIGHT so people will use
them sensibly anyway, at least until a feasable universal system can be devised. Perhaps having the browser generate a registry on
the fly and not rendering the av if it exceeds dimensions set by the world owner, and poly/vert counting on the fly as well to
operate based on user defined limits, though this is kinda far off, or is it?

[View Quote] They won't understand that either. A large stick with "Reading Comprehension" scribbled on it in crayon would be more effective. Sad
that even with so many native English speakers they still can't understand a simple concept between them. Perhaps you used too many
abbreviations and words longer than four letters.

Some of them just don't understand that this isn't just about features. It's about giving the community somthing to grab onto. Right
now we're climbing the buttered cliffs of life without any handholds. As Rick himself said, the company and community cannot survive
independently. I'd be just fine if NONE of the community's features were implemented just as long as it was clear that it didn't go
in one ear and out the other or never even reaches the first ear.

If you can't figure out what I'm saying, good for you, take some reading classes

Misunderstandings...

Aug 11, 2001, 2:45am
One question... Just what do you expect from a group of people such as the AW community and these newsgroups? Seriously, you put
genius alongside stupidity. Have beside have not. Citizen beside tourist. Skill beside no skill. Programmer beside end-user. Art
beside cybersex. Misunderstanding is bound to this community whether we like it or not, and it's not going to stop any time soon.

Opps...

Aug 12, 2001, 9:43pm
It's been addressed before here, but I'll do it again. This occurs when the uniserver mistakenly reads a user count of 0 from a
world, and when a user or users leave, the uniserver deducts one from the current user count (the server told the universe that user
X left) and if the number in storage happens to be 0, since eitehr the browser or uniserver is incapable of reading negatives, just
like an odometer, it rolls over to it's maximum value. This is normally fixed at next world heartbeat when the universe recieves a
correct user count.

Wonderful little tool, though I found the additional downloads a little... over the top. Also, the genie download was not
neccessary, assuming you have M$ Office 2k installed. Clippy (or whomever you have as your default assistant) pops up instead. I
prefer clippy. Also, I'm not sure if the first download was even neccessary for Office users.

The disable button also doesn't reenable the enable button :)

Haven't had that problem with a full duplex sound card. Of course, the only full duplex sound cards I've been able to even FIND are
the SB Live models, and you being you, you probably despise Creative.

Aug 14, 2001, 3:52am
*shrug* Soundblaster Live has no problems with AW and AW Ear at same time, add Winamp using non-Directsound mode and it still works
just fine. However, cut to other PC with normal grade sound card (That Ensoniq POS that Creative continued producing like morons)
and you get a max of one MCI wav at a time. Perhaps it's in the drivers?

The plot thickens, I just hit up another computer with AW and Winamp at the same time in the same configuration, and it wouldn't
play Winamp. However, sound recorder doesn't play in the background on either machine (By design?)

The best assumption that I can make is that it's driver and hardware specific how sound behaves.

In case you hadn't noticed, earlier this year Fac started quite a crisis over a "vote" to ban Eep. The overall concensus was that
Eep had somthing useful to contribute every once in awhile, and in general serves as a wonderful pest removal system. I'd think Fac
has the smarts not to start that again anytime soon, as it almost split us into two warring sides then, and would likely do the same
now.
