The USA is his/her country too - you have no right to claim it as only yours. I would bet my one year salary that Hu gave more to our country than %95 of the population!

Bro, you are dead wrong here.
The immigrants to the US bring the knowledge and wisdom what your school system forgot to squeeze into your kids head.
Why is that that the most valuable immigrants for your country are the well educated engineers, doctors, teachers, etc? Did you ever check the requirements for an immigrant visa (sorry, it is called now permanent residency :)?
If you think they shouldn't be in the US then you just don't understand the need of the gray cells of the American economy.
I met several 20+ years old who simply can't subtract two numbers in their head :( I wouldn't talk about the teens who can't read and write even after a college graduation.
I witnessed once when the electricity was out that the cashier burst in tears because she couldn't calculate the change from a $10 bill for a $8.47 bill (she was 19 years old as she told). Don't you think the problem lies somewhere else?
Your rude comments are just a great example how the citizens' brain can be manipulated: immigrants? - that should be bad!!! What if they are terrorists? Hey - they demand things!!! Ouch - some immigrants criticize us!!! Nooo - we should expel ALL immigrants!!!
Immigrants are not GUESTS but a major part of the US economy!

Try to remove some other load from the UPS (I guess you did not put the monitor on it, did you?) and see if the behavior changes.

Could somebody please post the following message to the active worlds news
server. I am not a citizen of AW and do not have access to the groups,
except as read only. Thanks in advance, Challagar


I am looking for some program to map a world that has yet to be made. I
have been working with pencil and paper up til now, but I want something
that can be changed and shared (without scanning and conversion, etc, etc)
with others who may be involved with building the world also. If there is
no such software, or it is cost prohibitive, please let me know who to ask
to request that one be made for this purpose.

I wrote out some notes on my PDA of some of the features that would be handy
in such a program. The "basic features" I listed are features that should
be in the program whether or not the advanced features ever get included.
The "advanced features" are optional features that would greatly increase
the usefulness of the program, but would not be necessary for the program to
be a useful product.

Basic features:

world mapping:
users should be able to draw a map of the world for planning purposes

map tiles:
should be customizable, each piece should be editable as a seperate image
in a graphic program
each tile should be scalable so that the same tile can be used for
different size grids, for instance, the same wall tile should be able to be
used whether the user is making a map of the whole world, single building,
or a single room
tiles should have transparency capabilities so that tiles can overlap

adjustable grid and detail preferences:
should be able to adjust each map to world size, building size and room
size; units of measure should be specific per map

notes:
should have some sort of notes system to communicate ideas about object and
world design, such as special instruction about how objects should fit
together, which structures are higher priority than others, or special build
rules.

text labels:
should have a function to add text labels to areas to identify structures
and geographical features, such as church or river


Advanced features:

built in viewer of world content:
should be able to browse OP content so collaborators can see what they will
be working with w/out having to go inworld

notes:
users should be able to write "sticky notes" and attach to map; viewed by
mouse over. This feature should be able to be turned off in editing mode.

"transparency overlay"
user should be able to make suggested revisions to the world map without
changing the actual map; like a transparency overlay on a classroom
projector
the receiver of the suggestion should be able to see either version of the
map with the click of a mouse or hot key

collaboration functionality:
users should be able to chat to discuss the world map and details without
using a separate program

How do the server would know you are beyond the boundary? It receives a 2 byte integer only.

make - issued in a proper folder with a proper Makefile :)

http://www.andras.net/tools.html#regftp let see if you can compile it. I bet Mr. "Show Off" Mark wouldn't do :)

Anyway - the tar file contains the source and the required libraries/Makefile. It runs under Windows and under Linux - you just have to compile it with a proper environment.
The tool is a command line utility where the options/parameters are explained if you invoke it without any parameter.

The source code is a good example for a very simple bot/ftp combination.

I don't want to make statements either pro or con in this issue. Everyone has a right to pick his/her favorite language if it fits to the problem.
Where I DO have problem is that those "its a click your fingers task task" or a "3 line codes" or "10 minutes work" statements ... hmmm .... a littlebit over the reality and resulting the "Show Off" attribute attached to your name.
I'm not the best programmer of the world but such coding usually takes a day or so if you want to release QUALITY work, not something you whipped together in a few hours (few minutes - by your terminology).
As Bowen properly stated - released codes had to be thoroughly tested and tested and tested.
I doubt that even you - the best programmer of the Earth (again a quote from you) - has such an artificial intelligence on your computer that it can test your programs within your "few minutes" time frame..

Well,, that would be the simplistic approach with no error checking, no content checking, etc.
In the past the registry was updated with some very strange values which was not even near to the actual object size.
Most of the new rwx files contains the new "additions" which are not compatible with RWXMod, so nobody really checks them.
Every time I get objects for the updates I spend days to be sure they will meet all the requirements of AW (no - I don't judge them by the look or value - just by the technicalities).

AW doesn't need that tool - they have easy access to the world server without that :) Anyone who hosts worlds know that the required tools are available.

[View Quote] Hey children!!! Stop the quarelling in the NG!
Both of you have points which deserves some attention but most of them are just teenage fight.
When you reach a certain age, you'll learn that sometimes it is your best interest to let your opponent to win an argument:) Took me a while to learn it but it works!
Both of you have a good goal of your life but they are different:
Mark wants to be the best programmer and I support him (if he doesn't overreact !)
Bowen is working on his education in a different way - he is looking for flexibility and portability (which I endorse).

You guys would make the Internet and the computer users' society a better place if you are not fighting with such a big effort! Try to think about the opportunity you can create something new and not about the opportunity to bash your competitor!
You both know me some time and know that I never would go into a public fight with a reputable programmer :) <Sure - I would do it behind the scenes but that is a totally different issue!>
Sooo - let the wheel be oval and spy on it with Echelon!

We (others) can only gain from the experience you are making with them!!
