I must say, that's definitely an excellent model if it was just done
with Maya and no in-house post-production. Just watch, in about 5 or 10 years, things like Final Fantasy and all the other attempts at "real" human models will look cheap compared to what's in store, especially once it trickles down to the consumer market. :) [View Quote] -- Goober King Now he remembers why he got involved with 3D in the first place! :D robrod at prism.net EventsSep 6, 2002, 1:58pm
Exactly how are you going to get people to return the world after four
months? [View Quote] -- Goober King There is no honor amongst avatars... robrod at prism.net EventsSep 8, 2002, 5:32pm
Obviously, you never played Guess Who? before... Basically, the idea is
that each player gets a collection of pictures of people and then each player is given a second picture of one of the people in that set as their "it" man. Then, players take turns asking questions in an attempt to eliminate people from the group and find out who the "it" man is. (i.e. "Does your person wear glasses?" If the other person says 'no', then you can flip down all the people in your set that are wearing glasses, otherwise you can flip down all the people who *don't* have glasses) Whoever correctly guess who the other player's "it" man first, wins. If you guess wrong, then the other person wins. http://www.toys2wish4.com/gueswhogamby.html - This is what the original game looks like [View Quote] -- Goober King Could even use AW avatars for it! :D robrod at prism.net To those of you who use ChatZone3DSep 9, 2002, 1:10am

God, we're surrounded by idiots. Nothing like watching a bunch of
prepubescent arguing about something they've only heard about in passing. I'm not even going to bother getting into this retarded discussion, since it's obvious *none* of you know what the hell you're talking about. (which is part of the problem, really...) All I will say is I hope Bush has enough sense to consider all angles before making a decision, which he appears to be doing. (consulting Congress, etc) And as for taking bets, I'll refer you again to the "idiots" statement. You may think that all the rehashing of 9/11 is overkill, but that doesn't give you the right to belittle it for those who actually may still be looking for closure. It was the most traumatic event to occur on American soil since Pearl Harbor, and whether you like it or not, it's going to take a *long* time until we all get over it. So shut yer hole and let people deal with it as they see fit. It's not as if we're going to run out of land/worlds any time soon.

The only interesting thing I see here is that he makes *no* mention of
your personal life whatsoever. The closest he ever gets is saying that you might have some financial difficulty, but beyond that, nothing. Let's face facts here, folks: Everyone involved with this thread is NOT helping the situation any. MrBruce's credibility is getting shot more to hell every time he posts. And as I'm sure Bluemax and Carolann are figuring out, you can't convince those people who feel they've been wronged by InSaNiTy otherwise. And, of course, Mr Heartfall himself isn't helping by posting under ever-changing aliases and trying to convince the world that there's more to his "company" than just him. So, my suggestion to *everyone*, and that includes you Bruce, is to quit while you're ahead, go outside, and take a nice deep breath. Hopefully, by the time you all come back, you'll be a bit more sane and reasonable and we'll all have forgotten about this pointless argument.

*sigh* And we were doing so well, too. Almost two whole days without
someone continuing this thread. Max, I suggest you drop this whole thing like a live grenade and move on. Defending yourself will just make Bruce defend himself, which means you'll have to defend yourself again, etc, etc, etc. Not to mention all the other folks around here inserting their two cents. *glances at Bowen* [View Quote] -- Goober King Closing in on a month for this thread! :P robrod at prism.net Eep's Objects (was: Re: Object Path Protection)Sep 13, 2002, 5:45pm
Erm, unless your newsreader is not configured properly, you'd see that
Shred was replying to Robbie's original post... As for Sleepy E, I've never encountered him in person, but from the sounds of it, he's one of the "good guys". If he's actually telling AW about all the security holes he finds, then he's a lot better than the script kiddies who brag about finding them just to other people and then exploit them for all their worth. This would be the difference between a "hacker" (good guy) and "cracker" (script kiddie). If Sleepy E didn't find them first, someone else with more malicious intents would.

Looks like it's already too late. :P
Joe, what the hell are you getting on MilesTeg's case about? He *agrees* with you, for Chrissake! The only point he's trying to make is that just because Sleepy E is one of the good guys doesn't mean other "hackers" are so noble. MilesTeg, and every other world owner in AW, has a right to be concerned about hackers/crackers entering their worlds, even if it's something as innocuous as a tourist going where he shouldn't go. It's not as if Sleepy E will stop the other crackers just because he finds the holes first.

Joe, I'm going to kindly request, in the nicest terms possible, that you
shut the hell up. You are acting like a total moron for no reason. So unless you really *do* want everyone to think you're a "child", I suggest you quit while you're ahead. [View Quote] -- Goober King If only you could *prevent* stupidity... robrod at prism.net Eep's Objects (was: Re: Object Path Protection)Sep 14, 2002, 12:32pm
You don't get it, do you? He wasn't saying that it *wasn't* Sleepy E, he
was only saying that it *might* not have been Sleepy E. It could very easily have been some script kiddie using the tourist name "Sleepy E" to fool everyone. If you can't understand a concept as simple as that, then you'll need more than homework to help you. :P [View Quote] -- Goober King Like medication... robrod at prism.net Eep's Objects (was: Re: Object Path Protection)Sep 17, 2002, 8:49pm
Looks like you could use a "War for Total Idiots" edition. :P
Just ignore SWE, Linn, he's a moron. As for Sleepy E, he doesn't actually *work* for AWI as far as I know, but he tells them about security holes that he finds. So AWI can't tell world owners when he'll "attack" because he's not under AWI's control. Like everyone else has been saying, be glad Sleepy E's the one finding these holes, rather than some cracker with more malicious intentions...

If so, then it would seem AWI isn't telling world owners about it before
it happens. [View Quote] -- Goober King Communication is a good thing! robrod at prism.net Eep's Objects (was: Re: Object Path Protection)Sep 18, 2002, 6:47pm
Your so-called example had nothing to do with what was being discussed.
And I was repeating what everyone else had said because it was obvious that Linn *still* wasn't getting it. I just reworded it a bit in the hopes that it would be easier to understand. If anything, your "example" will just confuse her even more. :P [View Quote] -- Goober King "so now Sleepy E is bombing people ??? hummmm" robrod at prism.net Creating a Database!Sep 13, 2002, 7:41pm
Well, it depends what kind of "goodies" you have on the server. If you
have Perl on there, the simplest way would be to use a flat-file, tab-delimited database (basically, a text file where all the information is separated by tabs and line breaks). If you have PHP, then you can use a mySQL database. If you have something higher-end, like ASP or ColdFusion, you can simply use an Access database and upload it onto your webspace. Clear? :P [View Quote] -- Goober King Go ColdFusion! :D robrod at prism.net console surveySep 14, 2002, 12:36pm

[View Quote] -- Goober King Some people are a tad too protective of their privacy... robrod at prism.net Privacy Leak in Mozilla and Mozilla-Based BrowsersSep 17, 2002, 2:02pm
I suppose that could be a concern, except I don't know too many people
who bookmark FTP sites in their web browser. Most people I know use an FTP program like WS_FTP or CuteFTP to get their FTP stuff done. Still, I'm sure the Mozilla folks will have it all patched up in no time. [View Quote] -- Goober King The power of open source robrod at prism.net uhhhhhSep 18, 2002, 10:14am
I suppose now would be a good time to give everyone a heads up as to our
situation with AWNews.com As some of you may know, we've been in the process of transferring all AWNews property from Cybor, the former owner, to myself. The website hosting has been secured, but the awnews.com domain name is another matter entirely. The story goes like this: It didn't seem as if there was any straightforward way to transfer the domain from one owner to another. So, Cybor decided to just let the domain run out and I would have to pick it up when it went on the public market. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a straight answer out of register.com, the domain's registrar, as to when the domain would go public. Still, since all the other "awnews" domains (awnews.net, awnews.org, etc) have been available for months, I figured no one would go for awnews.com, so I didn't watch it very closely. Boy, was that a mistake. On Sept. 8th, soon after the domain went public, some domain-grubbing outfit called MostWantedDomains.com snatched it up and posted it as being "up for sale". When I asked them how much they wanted for it, they told me $1,250. I essentially told them to stuff it, since I would've only had to pay $35 for it had I picked it up in time, and that they'll never find another buyer for that domain. Which brings us to now. Since I doubt MWD.com is going to be generous enough to simply drop the domain, we're in the process of trying to decide on a new domain name for AWNews. Possible suggestions include domains like aw-news.com and awnews.org. If any of you has a suggestion you think would be a) easy to remember, and b) has something to do with "AWNews", feel free to post it here and we'll consider it. Thanks for your help, and we're sorry for any disruption/inconvenience all of this may have caused you. :-/ -- Goober King AWNews.? Editor in Chief robrod at prism.net uhhhhhSep 18, 2002, 6:49pm
