Entertainment industry will be added to the lists of existing industries in
next edition. The next edition will be published and issued in the same
thread as its previous thread in order to spare our fellow countrymen ;) a
double-posting.

Thanks,

I'm only following the general trends, not exact numbers. I have Ph.D in
Economics from Active Worlds University. ;D

From my perspective. ;) But really, this isn't meant to be an official
source for these kinds of information. Basically, it would be either AWI's
or community's responsibilities. These are not official reports, once again.
Please do not rely on these information for ANYTHING except to use for
interests or discussion (debate, anyone?). I'm not OFFICIALLY responsible
for economic reporting. It's rather my opinon anyway. But again, reports are
bound to be opinon-based along with accurate information so I just choose to
follow the general trends (from my perspective anyway) and make an opinon.
It may not be accurate so I will tell you all: please do not use these
information above for any purpose except for interests/discussion for they
are solely my opinon. In this respects, I'm not responsible for anything
that occurs from my report.

Thanks.

Bah, I am poor enough to afford a world, let alone any good at organizing a
government. But I can try webpage, although obviously not so advanced. I
only knew how to do basic html ;) Me sucks at mathematics.

Can't do Java. Can't do DHTML (Thinks too advanced for me), Can't do ASP (I
don't have my own server and can't afford one), blah blah blah. But CAN do
the HTML. ^_^ But again, I'd need to figure how the hell to make a good
graphic images :) Me crappy at creating custom-made things.

I plead the fifth of whiskey (again)! GULP! GULP! GULP!

Hey, how'd you find that out, Strike? I didn't even look for that! Missed
it! Darn it. ;)

Hey, is there any difference between http://cambridge1.activeworlds.com and
http://www.activeworlds.com? I see they both have similar webpage.

I got directory denied error from http://cambridge2.activeworlds.com but
yeah it's obviously AWI owned since AWI owns the domain
http://activeworlds.com so therefore all subdomain under it are AWI owned.

Oh, and also it's obvious (I think) that powerpoint don't use pif as file
extension either. PIF was supposed to be some kind of command files for
MSDOS so that probably make it good candidate for spreading virus, since
MSDOS was still used to some extent as ways to execute the commands, at
least from its beginning to the Windows XP (though, on lesser basis but
still a core part of the Windows XP but I could be wrong). However, I might
be wrong so I'll let others answer that for you.

I was visiting some of the old worlds, and I came to Test80 world, which
used to be a place where they tested the AW 3.1. There, I was just clicking
around until I finally encountered a shocking discovery (think talboid!) in
one of the object's action field:

create orbit 20 0 0 distance=5

Interesting concept. :) But I guess they no longer used it perhaps because
it failed to pass a test? No idea but that old useless action command from
3.1 beta or alpha sure sounds appealing to me. :) Now I will have to get
another lunch because I'm hungry again due to mentioning of "appealing"! =P

lol. What cave?

Perhaps AWI rented an office space in one of the cave previously occupied by
Newburyport Cavemen Company who was evicted? ;)

Or is the address, 95 Parker Street, really a cave? ;)

With fewer worlds now than it used to be 2 or more years ago, does that make
it easier for you decide which worlds to explore first? I'm particularly
interested in how lower numbers of worlds affects the decision on which
world to visit first.

Thanks.

The story of a country girl (I made it up lol) goes:

We used to live out in the countryside. When a tornado was about to come, we
would get our plates out and goes outside and waits. Soon a tornado arrived
and there fell several cows on the grounds and we get ourselves hamburgers.
It was really a delicious dinner. Hence the "Tornado Hamburger".

Lara recently updated it again by adding a sign that, once clicked upon,
takes you to a webpage that lists all new objects added recently (Lara's
prize and OneSummer/Nightraven's addition to Alphaworld).
