[View Quote] I would agree with you here Ciena as MY "world" happens to be a part of
AlphaWorld and I don't use any tools. Heck, I don't even use bots in
Hamsterville (at least not yet, though this could change :-)), let alone a
"tool".

Anyway....I *think* I hear Goober grumbling about *something* but I can't
make out what it is he's grumbling about (j/k Goob :-)).

Cheers for now everyone :-)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] It is (sadly) with this in mind that it wouldn't surprise me if we were soon
required to choose a username AS WELL AS a password when we register to
become a cit as this would be more in line with what ISPs do. As it is now
on ActiveWorlds, we can switch from one name to another WITHOUT being
prompted for a password. The suggestion in this post would change that
whereas if you don't have the correct password, you CANNOT use a particular
screen name.

In other words, let's say I wanted to log in as pineriver. Under the
CURRENT system, I could do this with ease. HOWEVER under the system I
propose, I would be prompted for a password. If I don't have the password
pineriver chose for his screen name, I can't use it. As such, I would be
stuck using my own screen name.

Does this make sense?

OneSummer.....I don't believe you're a hacker. Some IDIOT is just trying to
take advantage of your good name to make it look (and sound) as though you
are a devious person. :( Sooner or later, this person WILL be caught and
(hopefully) THROWN IN JAIL (both in VR and RL).

Just my take on this

Cheers for now everyone :-)

Hi everyone:

I just ran Windows Update yesterday and noticed there was a new version of
DirectX out (DirectX 9 Beta) and I now notice that the 3D Graphics pane in
the AW browser "flickers" every so often (this is especially true when I add
property and close the Object Properties box). The DirectX version I have
is 9.0b (4.09.0000.0002).

DXDiag doesn't detect anything wrong.

Anyone have any ideas? Anyone else notice this too or is it just me?

Cheers for now :-)

ATI RADEON 700 with 32 MB Video RAM (Latest Drivers too).

But it's kinda odd as it seems to have resolved itself. Must've been an
adjustment thing or something. I double-checked to see if the monitor was
plugged in okay and aside from the screws being a *tad* loose, all was
normal there.

Whatever it was, it was REALLY weird. Hopefully it's just a fluke.

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] TheLady.....Somehow I think YOU seem to think there's NO difference between
VIRTUAL REALITY and REAL LIFE. In Virtual Reality, we may do things so
ordinary that they coould be construed as being real such as setting up TV
stations and starting a virtual economy, but at least SOME of us know WHEN
to TURN THE SWITCH OFF!!!

Somehow, I don't think you know how to do this.

Sure we could hold elections, but what for? Besides, when we want to vote
on something, it's usually for something like the Cy Awards. There's
usually guidelines for this posted in this newsgroup as well as AWEC world.
We have never.....REPEAT.....NEVER held an election to vote for someone to
run the company as our vote is WORTHLESS to THE COMPANY who runs the servers
(and pays the bills for them!) neccessary to KEEP THEM IN BUSINESS!!! Sure,
they ask for community input (albeit rarely, but it does happen), but that
IN NO WAY gives us the right to say that WE are in charge of the company.

I say this because your "logic" has but one flaw....

E N Z O has the option of simply closing the company doors simply by locking
the doors when he leaves and never coming back. This is just as powerful
and effective as Captain Picard or Captain Janeway activating their ships'
Auto-Destruct sequence when enemy or other unknown hostile forces take
control of the Enterprise or Voyager in the world of Star Trek and Picard or
Janeway can't regain control.

It's as simple as that.

Long and short of it being this....The Lady....You OBVIOUSLY have some
SERIOUS mental issues. Why don't you do what Traci Lords recently did and
GET OUT of the State of Denial you're in and ADDRESS your issues by GETTING
HELP??? Who knows, maybe you could write a book about it and become a
famous author like Traci has.

Then again....This might be just a *bit* too much to ask of you....

Just my opinion....

Cheers for now everyone ELSE.... :-)

But SERIOUSLY TheLady....YOU NEED HELP!!! I dunno if it'll take a raid on
your home by the FBI as was the case with now FORMER porn star Traci Lords,
who's now a famous author and aspiring legit actress, but SOMETHING will
eventually force you to STOP BURYING YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND & GET HELP!!!

So, why not get help NOW *BEFORE* you get into a situation where you're
FORCED into it??? It'll make it A LOT easier on the rest of us....

Then again....Maybe I *am* talking to a bot. Maybe *I'm* the one who needs
help....... (I sure hope not)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Having said what I said above in my last post on the negative, on the
POSITIVE side, such a tuner *would* be really cool IF it used the AW Mapper
instead of cit info. from the AW browser itself. By that, let me
explain....

Let's say (for the sake of discussion) I was tuning around the Yeti City TV
Dial, but the coords. for my physical location I entered were 6500N 2000E.
Given the directions Yeti City would be from my physical location, I would
turn the tuner's rabbit ears towards the NE in order to pull in signals from
Yeti City. Given the obstacles that would stand between me and Yeti City as
well as the sheer distance between me and Yeti City, I would be LUCKY if |
pulled in WRPM Channel 7, let alone the other two stations there. However
if I enabled the tuner's "rooftop beam antenna", I might have a better
chance.

BTW....In case any of you are wondering, I am physically standing at 6500N
2000E on AlphaWorld and I can personally tell you I have no idea where the
nearest road is I'm so far out (it's all open space for as far as the eye
can see).

Getting back to the potential of such a tuner as a legit program, if I were
to turn the antennas to the SW, I just might get stations from the
Hamsterville area.

Some, if not most, of you may think would be pointless and useless.
However, if you're just gonna build a farm out in the boondies of
AlphaWorld, such a tool would be useful in determining what TV and Radio
stations are the closest to you when you add a TV and decide what you're
going to watch from your virtual farm way out in the boondies. :-)

Then again....One could also add a virtual satellite dish too. :-)

Something to think about??

Okay, I have my flame retardant suit on now. Hurl awaay. :-} *looking for
hiding place SOMEWHERE near 6500N 2000E*

Cheers for now :-)
