Just because a DLL is called something means nothing. You could call a DLL "corn32.dll" and still have it do the same as "kernel32.dll".

Well, Roland said it was just a "hack", so I'm not sure it'll work very well. I'd rather have a property system rewrite than a couple of hacks and patches here or there. Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see.

Apparently there is a limit of 750 worlds that the browser can recieve/display. Roland said that once that limit is exceeded, worlds are discarded based on certain criteria (closed, empty). If you ask me, this really should be fixed so that all of the running worlds can be shown.

When used in the sence that was planned for in AW (replacing some sounds with MP3-compressed versions), the MP3 should be smaller than the equivalent WAV file. The only time MP3s get "frieken huge" is when you have a lot of sound (like in normal-length music). Those kinds of files don't work well with AW because it doesn't support streaming (and if it did, I would hope there would be a file size limit...).

Roland would have to re-write his entire property downloading mechanism to allow for any visibility. Anyway, he's included a hack (something just thrown together) in his code that should be able to allow visibility up to 200 meters.

Why would DSL get slower? As long as the ISP keeps upgrading their end to keep up with demand, there won't be any decrease from the user end. DSL doesn't work on the concept of nodes as far as I know. Each user connects directly to their ISP's server, don't they?

Something else that might work: Every citizen send in an itemized list of what they want and why. I don't mean via email, use regular "snail mail". That way, they can't just click delete. They have to actually open the letter before knowing what it's about, and thousands of letters would send quite a message, don't you think? Sure it might cost a little bit for postage, but it might be worth it.

Rick and JP have their own agenda for AW and it doesn't mean making AW easier to use or having new features unless a corporate customer with lots of money requests them (like NT4 support--uh, what's the point?

But such a "campaign" needs to be targeted and consistent--people need to bombard AWCIers with such requests and not let up. Yes, this is a "brute force" approach but I feel it's a last resort option given the attitude AWCI seems to have (or at least presents) towards us and AW's development.
