Nope - AW Server is being completly screwed, sometimes its taking 10 or 11
seconds to send all of the avatar event data, and response times on messages
to it via SDK are upto 5 or 6 seconds.

Oh, and random near-perminant WFS's every so often.

1 byte - 8 bits, 256 combinations.

rotation = 4 combinations, 2 bits required.

Now 6 bits remain for texture, 'hole' uses 1, so thats 63 remaining. Dunno

Industrial Building Contest
There is still time to enter the contest! This year's theme in Industrial.
Like previous years, SW City likes to pick unique themes instead something
like residential, which has been done time and time again. As industrial is
a rarely used theme throughout AW, the experience field should be pretty
level. Players will pick a lot in Hyokia Industrial Sector.

For players who have no idea how to build industry in AW, they are
encouraged to explore the nearby industrial areas, as well as teleports to
other industrial sectors in SW City. Judging and specific rules can be
found at the site itself.

Listen... if you want to go on a rampage about Linux is soooooooooo much
better than windows, piss off! No one gives a flying feck if you don't know
how to setup an operating system to work right. You bought a product 'aw' to
work on a platform 'windows', nowhere does it say it is for anything else
(Except certain server components).

I for one am so sick of walking adverts for Linux that seem to exist these
days, You have mentioned that you use Sloppyware in every single post you
have made.

Now just to ram it in a little more, meet my friend 'Hypertext Markup
Language' which is, would you believe it, used on hundreds of millions of
PC's running windows without problems.. although I dare say, should you try
it on XP you would probably get a general protection fault from trying to
rewrite the kernel in cgywin.

Do you have any measily idea how many different user bases AW actually has
not in this universe?

The question is, why? I go to bed at night, I like quiet, I very rarley need

few days. Ive gone for weeks just kicking it into hibernate mode at night
without problem.

Try mapping the NT Kernel memory usage, if you were talking about 9x I would
agree with you wholeheartedly, it was a piece of shite. My old school left
its Windows 2K boxes running for weeks at a time.

Have to love ye olde 9 bit security attributes on linux and unix eh?
Compared to MS's PID EFS cert system, a full set of primary and operational
rights... It literally blows Linux out the water. I mean, of course its
going to be more secure if it has 3 pesky little rights associated with it,
and not 15. Windows and Linux are different kinds of locks; Linux is just a
padlock with a big key, Windows is a 10 digit keypad that opens different
doors, Linux is all very well for just dedicated tasks (webhost) otherwise,
in a workplace situation.. its crap.

Linux is good for one thing... PHP / MySQL web page hosting. Even then,
findings show that Windows .NET Server beats it in almost every situation.

Add to that several hundred per-seat to train each user. You will find that
MS does do bulk buys, site licenses and so on, these do work out a lot
cheaper than you would expect.

Regardless, a cheaper distrobution is still useless if it doesnt have
support, doesnt provide everything you need, doesnt have as much software
for it.

Oh please, lets be honest here...

A LOT of the 30+'s in AWGate are simply there because they have nothing to
better to do, a large number of them spend the day complaining about
physical ailments for some thing or another.

IF IT has got to the point where some morons who, lets face it, are bound to
be American, most likely from the bible belt and fully believe in the
apocolypse take offense to 'hell' and 'damn' and personally it highly
offends ME that 2 words which I use a lot (damn is VERY common in English
English).

EVERYONE is going to get offended by something, E N Z O deleted a thread on
Yassa Arafat's death that I posted a few months a go because it was
'insulting' to certain people because of acts he had taken a part in, yet
world leaders are at the time praising him for actually holding his country
together. Now I cannot think of anything thats more of an 'insult' to him,
me, and all of you in terms of these newsgroups than having someone make
their mind up about someone for you (sorry, Rick).

WHEN will people actually realise though, this is the internet and unless
someone is horrendously naive they will realise that other people will make
comments that may not be suitable for all ages; but kids probably know more
of this stuff than the parents do! Its like the latest Dr. Who on TV now
(BBC1) in the UK; when this show was first made people would cower in
absolute terror at 'robots' who were just people with face masks on... now
the average 12 year old looks at it... goes "what?????" and if faced by one
of these 'robots' in real life would probably drop kick them in the groin.
This isnt the 1980's anymore.

AS FAR as I am aware someone has yet to actually post what G rating is
actually defined as by the film standards council or equivilent. But one
thing is for certain; Bamby doesnt sell any more but a 1 on 1 between
Scarface and Simba does; it reflects the changing culture and, to be
frank... the people who still prefer bamby are most likely to die sooner or
later anyway and to a lot of people the exessive censorship in AWGate can,
at times, be sickening.

THERE is no swearing, no debating, no talk of religion, no mention of moral
practices, no breathing...? It seems to me if you are __trying__ to sell a
__chat__ platform then you want to show new users.. uh.. chat! If the first
impression people get is 'you cannot talk about the world here, unless it is
the weather' then they will not return because people, in this day and age,
want to talk about the world and what goes on in it and I am fully up for
them doing so, provided they are not making a point of it to offend a
person, and then - I think the elder generation either don't have, or have
lost the ability to debate a point and this makes them weaker than someone
who could debate something that potentially offends them.

I THINK George Bush is a renegade lunatic with a brain the size of a wallnut
controlled by very clever people who, above all else, know how to manipulate
American's (don't get me started on how you wave patriotism in front of
someones face and they will do whatever you say - i'll go through that one
later... or in AWGate, again) mindset.

OH NO! I just offended approximatly 51% of the United States... The rest of
the planet agree's with me.
