Sorry, but AW now correctly follows the HTTP protocol. If Angelfire or Geocities want to block remote access to sites they host, then it is their right to do so. If you check the service agreement, you'll find something stating that it is not allowed to do what you want.

In a very large world all of those terrain control objects would likely create a large load on bandwidth and disk space.

Remember, though, that random doesn't mean uniform. With enough samples, random numbers should cover most of the possible values, but it's also possible (although unlikely) that a truely-random source could generate 5 zeros in a row.

[View Quote] I'm just guessing, but I would have to say it's because Renderware doesn't support it. If it does, then it should be fairly easy to enable (I would think), but if it doesn't then either Renderware needs to have the functionality added or AW would need a new graphics engine.

[View Quote] The only way to do this would be to encrypt them somehow, and since they're expected to be updated in realtime, the encrypting and decrypting every time you want to read the cache would be a major slowdown. You're not going to prevent someone who really wants to copy your world from doing it and adding this to the browser will just cause problems for everyone.

[View Quote] The problem is that some of the files AW uses aren't closed properly and so the data that they contain isn't complete. Since the files are corrupt, the only way to fix them is to download the whole thing again.

[View Quote] Bowen's point was that, regardless of the efficiency of the format, AW should stick to "open" ones in order to avoid locking out certain users. Something like Ogg Vorbis would make a good addition to AW as it seems to compress my music files better than MP3 as well as being a free, open source format.

If you mean that correct English is "ass backwards", then you can go right on
thinking that.

> an apostrophe because you remove "Brick" in the true plurarl.

I don't know what you mean about that vowel part but it doesn't matter since
that is irrelevant to this discussion. You can't just remove a whole word and
create a non-standard contraction because you think it justifies your
*incorrect* use of the apostrophe.

[View Quote] I'm not doing "anything" to try to prove you wrong. I'm only making a couple of
newsgroup posts.

Nah.

"There".

Your use in this case doesn't seem logical.

>You're not going to go Learned'n for learned in, of course.

That is exactly the kind of thing you're doing. Saying that "LEGO's" is instead
of "LEGO Bricks" is just as silly as the example you gave.

> Whatever you say, you're obviously right because that's just you.

I never said that I was perfect; just that in this case, you are wrong.

> You'd stick a nail in your eye if you felt it would cure herpes just because an enecylopedia said it would.

Nope. That would be stupid.

> But you believe everything you read on the internet, remember?

I don't see how posting one link that clearly show's you're incorrect is the
same as believing everything I read on the Internet. Your entertaining
explanation of how it is acceptable to use "LEGO's" is one example of why you
shouldn't believe everything you read.

> "1. The apostrophe indicates that a number or a letter has been omitted:

I never claimed that it didn't. I only said that your use of it was ludicrous
and non-standard at best.

No it isn't.

> Go ahead... keep saying I'm wrong like you always do.

You're wrong like you always are.


> Both your link and my link agree with me.

Nope. You never posted anything that backs up your elimination of all traces of
an entire word. Good luck next time, though!

[View Quote] Since I will never be able to change your mind, this will be my last post on the
subject.

"Shan't" is a contraction of "shall not". The fact that letters are removed
from more than one word is irrelevant because it would sound stupid to say
"shalln't". However, no one ever created a contraction where and entire word was
missing. If we were to follow your logic, I could say that "United's" was a
valid contraction for "United States" which it is most certainly not. Even if it
was, it would still not be a plural form of anything.

[View Quote] Web browsers seem to manage it just fine. I don't see a reason why anyone would
bother caching every language. The browser could keep one file cached that is of
the language you provide to the server. Very simple.

By posting in a public forum, you invite response from everyone even if they
don't agree with you. If you expect every response to a post to be "I agree!!"
or "Me too! You go girl!" then you are mistaken about the way newsgroups work.
