If it was handled by the server there would be lots more lag. Server
handling collision detection, the server would melt and spread 40 megatons
of nuclear waste all around in a big cloud of smoke with burning elves and

The AW browser in itself isn't a commercial product. Well, it can be argued
in both ways. Its not a commercial product in the way that you don't need
to pay to use it. It can be argued that it *is* a commercial product
because its sole intent is getting AWC more cash, which doesn't seem to be
working right now ;). I'm sure there's some loopholes out there where
Roland could have or grimm can put a free GIF library into the Activeworlds
browser. As for PNG support, it would be nice, but GIF would be better, or
higher on the list of image format additions. Right now AW seems to be
stagnant, so we shall see what they add when they, start working again. :P

A 'browser ID' would be hard to figure. People already got pissed about the
computer ID when it was introduced. Also, what would be in this 'browser
ID'? Every serial number that your OS can get, you can change. I suppose
the only *true* secure ID on your computer would be your proc serial, but
most processors don't have software accessible serial numbers.
Proc ID: Few machines have them.
MAC Address: Very few people have them, buy a new NIC, you have a new one.
Can be changed.
GUID: Changes every restart.
HD Serial: Can be changed.
BIOS Serial: Reflashing your bios changes this.
There's nothing on current computers that could be 100% secure. The only
real way would be putting an EEPROM with its write fuse blown controlled
through a I2C/SMbus on the motherboard. Would be extremely cheap way to
tracking new generation motherboards. Sadly, very few people would purchase
these new generation mobos due to the serial number stored on their
hardware. Personally, I wouldn't.

Uhm, no, not really. Well, depends. If you want to log any-old-person in,

to log a citizenship of yours in, or spoof a user, then the world does not
need to be behind the proxy.
