Briefly skimming over the page, it seems like someone is trying to

This is old news. It is called "phishing" and it isn't limited to just
PayPal. People try to imitate eBay and other banks as well. A good idea
is to assume that a company already has your credit card number and
other important details on file. If they need it, they would most likely
call you via phone instead of send you an e-mail. Instead of clicking a
link in an e-mail, type the URL of the site (such as
https://www.paypal.com for PayPal) instead of clicking on the link in
the e-mail. Also, scan any and all e-mail attachments before you try to
open/execute them.

Why not put your time to good use if you are so bored instead of
spending days/weeks at a time in your "isolation room?" Imagine what
might happen or how the world might change if everyone that was bored
used their time wisely for positive things, doing good, helping others, etc.

I read "Snow Crash" years ago and made a post about it ages ago here on
the newsgroups. Yes, some of the things in AW appear to be "borrowed"
from "Snow Crash." If you enjoy the book, be sure to check out other
works by Mr. Stephenson and watch movies like "Tron," "Johnny Mnemonic,"
"The Lawnmower Man," etc.

I think that the Michael Jackson trial is really just a "fluff story"
and there are lots of other important topics that the media should be
addressing instead. As for the GKs/PKs, if you do a search on the
newsgroup, I think this topic has already been talked about numerous
times in the past. What more is there to discuss about it that hasn't
been touched on already?

Hey, Pyro! Long time no chat. :)

I made a post about my little page in the newsgroups a while ago and
gave a link to it. I forgot the page was still accessible via Google,
though. It was really meant for just a few AW users to read at this
point in time.

It is really just a rough draft for now. There is so much more stuff I
want to add to it (pages worth of more information). I have a very old
computer buried somewhere in my basement that I want to try and
"resurrect" one day when I have the time. I haven't touched that old PC
for years, though. Unfortunately, I'm not even sure if the hard drive
still spins up. But one of these days I'll try to fix it and put the
information online if I can.

It has dozens of old screen shots and chat logs of my very early days in
AW and large events that took place within AW. Screen shots of
Protagonist, the famous Broadway world parties, my very first trial
world, cities I helped build with Ima Genius and Byte Me ages ago, the
old BORG world, etc. I also wanted to write about so many others I left
out of the first draft.

Anyway, I hope the page gave you a laugh. If I ever get around to
updating the page, I'll be sure to make another post here about it.

AW uses InterNap bandwidth (which is generally very good). Check this
page out to see how their routing looks compared to other major
bandwidth providers:

If the routes all look okay, then it most likely an issue with your ISP
or the AW server itself.

Is that a real telegram or did you just make that up? Taking a screen
shot of the telegram in your browser might provide more proof that it is
real, but even screen shots can be faked. I'm not doubting what you say,
just trying to get you to back up your claim.

If you look at some of the school shootings that have occurred in the
past, a majority of the shooters were on some type of prescription drug
such as Prozac, Ritalin, etc. Also, many teens like to drink soda, which
can have aspartame in it.

I'm not going to debate the exact cause of the shooting with you. I'm
also not going to debate whether or not certain drugs help or hurt
people more. I don't want to start a flame war, either.

However, I've found some interesting links that will hopefully make
people think about what they put in their bodies that may affect or
alter their behavior.

As for the dangers of aspartame, just do a search using your favorite
search engine for more details. There was an interesting documentary
made about it a few years ago.

The point of providing these links isn't to prove who is right or wrong.
All I want you to do is read the information and decide for yourself if
the things I mentioned may have played a part or not in the recent
shooting. As the saying goes, "We are what we eat."

We could argue all day about why this OS is better than that OS. The
fact is, about 90% (last time I checked) of desktop computers use
Windows. From a business standpoint, a company wants to "go where the
money is" and would most likely come out with software that works on the
most popular OS (which would be Windows). Adding support for
additionally OSes in the future would be nice, but if it doesn't
generate a reasonable amount of profit to a company, it probably won't
happen. Sorry to say, but that's just how it is.

Now, if everyone that was using Windows suddenly shifted over to a Linux
distro or ran out and bought a Mac, then I think businesses in the
software industry would have to take note of this since it would have
the potential to hurt their bottom line. Linux and Mac usage will slowly
grow over time and eventually reach a decent amount of desktops, but for
now, most companies just don't feel the need to support multiple OSes.

Have you tried using any emulation software to get AW to run on Linux? I
believe someone was able to get it working in software mode, but some of
the features didn't work or it crashed a few times. In any case, at
least AWI has servers that work under Linux. It would be a hard sell if
you couldn't host worlds under Linux, but you can at least do that much.

Coree,

I don't know all of the details regarding your beef with Pyro, but let
me share my experiences with her. She was a world hosting customer of
mine for several months and had a good track record of paying on time.
I've been friends with her for a few months. Just this week I purchased
two avatars from her world MaddSale that were $3.00 each, which I
thought was a very good deal.

She informed me that she suffered a small stroke and was having some
difficulties as of late. I told her not to rush since I didn't need the
avatars by any particular date. However, she was able to send me the two
avatars, along with their textures, within 48 hours after I paid via
PayPal. I password protected them, put them on my path and they work
fine in my world. For $6.00, I think I got a nice deal.

As far as the I, Robot or other avatars go, I can't comment on the
legality of selling avatars that may be trademarked or copyrighted.
However, I have seen Star Wars and Reboot avatars for sale in the past
by others.

I had a pretty good feeling that some sort of an attack would take place
during the summer of this year, but I wasn't sure of the location. If
you carefully look at the news wires often and read between the lines,
you can get a general idea of what's really going on. Let's hope that
those that died in the London attacks are now in a better place and that
Americans can prepare for the inevitability of future attacks in the U.S.

This coming from someone that is supposed to be offering free world
hosting to others... Ry, have you tried resetting the world after you
added it to the world admin tool? You need to add a world and then reset
it sometimes to be able to enter. Did you check the world rights to make
sure that tourists are allowed to enter since you are trying to enter as
a tourist? In addition, be sure to check that your router is properly
configured:
