I wouldn't be so sure about those allegations of "slander" there, KAH. I
don't know about Finland, or Norway, or whichever far-away land you come
from, but lying to cover up a crime is rather illegal.

Yeah, Brock, seriously. Acting 12 is just fine, but being retarded and
trying to impress people with your mature "OMG GOR IS SOOO BADDD!!!"
attitude gets you nowhere. Not only do less people take your ideas
serioulsy when you blurt your mad ramblings out and try to look cool, but
others start hating you for it. So please, go... away.

Did you ever think that tripod might have put those images there for a
reason? To prevent image linking off of the persons original site to save
them massive amounts of bandwidth. Now, putting images in AW is linking
them, and has nothing to do with the persons website. Adding these things
to the community forum will just encourage people to break the TOS, and
serves no one. Perhaps someone should notify the Tripod abuse department
about this script, or types like it, so they can keep an extra eye out.

The purpose of the script is to bypass their "deep linking images" htaccess
whatever they've got rigged up. You're not actually visiting their website,
you're just viewing a small script on their website. Hell, the script is
even rather transparent. The fact still remains, that you aren't visiting
their website to _view_ the images.

That's why I said, people should notify the tripod abuse department to make
them aware that they're so far spread, and they've started to be used in AW,
which sucks a lot of bandwidth.

No, you posted a fraudulent email. Perhaps you're missing the point. That
email never came from this "m a t t" fellow, you just lied and said it did.
Perhaps you should learn the lesson you're trying to convey. But anyway,
kids never see time for crimes, unless they kill someone. I've done a fair
share of illegal things, and only gotten a slap on the wrist or minor fines.

Blah blah, I'm not proud of them in the least. But, what happened,
happened. But I never, ever served time for it. The only point i'm trying
to get across is, children rarely serve time. For credit card fraud? The
FBI/NSA/CIA/CitiBank/NCU/whoever would be looking at the parents, who let
this sort of thing happen under their own roof. I know its not right, but
that's the way things go.

Try around a day. Also, transferring the few GB of the propdump over a
T1... Requires a huge amount of work, bandwidth, and time.

1.5GB? Wow... Uh, last propdump sent to ima was around 16GB. GZIP
(really thing only zipping application on a native solaris install) has
a compression rate of 71.1% on text. 16 * 1024^3 = 17179869184 Bytes *
..711 = 12214886989.824 / 1024^3 = 11.376GB... Over a T1, with a
theoritical speed of 1.54 mbps (never will this be achieved due to the
TCP/IP overhead, but lets pretend for a second.) Lets move GB to MB, so
11.376 * 1024 = 11649.024MB, 11649.024MB * 8 = 93192.192Mb. 93192.192Mb
by 1.54Mb/s works out to somewhere around 60514 seconds, which is 1008
minutes, or 16 hours. Theres 16 hours of time that there internet
connection is totally used up. But, lets think reality here, they're
running object servers, uniservers, worldservers, all off the same
connection, so lets be nice and throttle the speed down to 400kbps
(you'd be lucky to get that even). At 400kbps (I dont even get this
uploading at work to T1's, and where I work's on an OC8 on three
backbones), it would take 66 hours. 66 hours... thats a few days. This
isnt even taking the time it takes to dump the world (probably in excess
of 10 hours), then gziping it up. So, in total, it would take over a
few days to send a propdump of AW to ima.
Next.

I'm a good distance from my CO, and Im getting 3.5Mbps on my cable
modem. T1 is slow, but steady. It's got a good upload stream, so is
good for business.

Ima does have a T1 recieving.

I believe you're thinking about the "CPU Serial Number". This can be
turned off in the BIOS, but isnt broadcast, nor really used for
anything. Activeworlds' "Computer ID" would be the last four digits of
your network interface's "MAC Address". There is no nice way to turn
this off, but if I remember correctly, you may change it. But, why
would you really have any reason to?
