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. :)

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.

game looks like

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.

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.

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.

unless you really *do* want everyone to think you're a "child", I
suggest you quit while you're ahead.

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

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...

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

I suppose that could be a concern, except I don't know too many people

FTP program like WS_FTP or CuteFTP to get their FTP stuff done. Still,

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. :-/
