If you're concerned about some little kid being traumatized because of this
then you should complain to the news site I got it from too. Anyone who can figure out how to use the NG's can certainly find it just as easily. What if some kid was doing homework and went to the site? I know of a lot of articles that appear on www.time.com that although it is considered acceptable for TV and for some use in school that some parents wouldn't want their kids to see for some reason or another. Even though I haven't heard of one parent that when their kid can use the computer effectively (it would probably be different if they couldn't use it) that would go on their computer and find the information they might need for homework or something off the web for them so they don't see anything they don't want them too. Have you ever watched Discovery channel with the FBI Files? If I'm not mistaken they're rated TV-PG and even though they say parental discression advised they say the same thing on a PG movie and I don't see any one complaining about them. People are becoming so over-protective that in our county discussions on 9-11 are now only allowed in high schools. Everyone was there when it happened, and most people understand what was happening. If not anything else I would think it would be important to explain this instead of leaving kids to think that it's going to rain planes on their houses. I don't know of anyone that'll make their kid go into another room when the news is on so that they don't hear it. This is the same reason AWTeen's rating has remained G even when AW's is PG and a vote was passed to changed it but was overridden by MM. This only recently came to a consensus where mild talks about religion and other current topics are allowed so long as it is not directed as an insult towards a person. People who try and build a bubble around them end up getting crushed in real life. I should know because it happened to me.

It is 25 megs cuz I don't know the first thing about WMV encoder. It's also a little choppy so if you have a slow connection wait for the reviews before downloading. http://objects.activeworlds.com/newbuild/images/flyover5.wmv Some of the things you will see are the new camera angles, the seqs attached to different environments such as flying, swimming, running - the seqs also have sounds linked to them. Then we go for a flyover of some of NewAW using the UberJetpack from Acme, it's really fast... the first couple of times I hit trees :) we go for a swim and then fly to the mountains where I get altitude sickness... Enzo I will probably replace this with a better clip tomorrow. Poor behavior of beta testersDec 1, 2002, 7:26am
I would be one of those ^_^ but I did e-mail first then decided to t-gram
Cal figuring why not? I was actually quite suprised when he said yes but I didn't get in just by asking I showed him some of my programs and also suggested a way they could fix the bug where a non beta user could use the beta browser. and I don't think I'm that bad of a beta tester. -- OS: Windows 2000 Prof. Processor: AMD Athlon, 1.2GHz Memory: 256MB RAM DirectX Version: DirectX 8.1 (4.08.01.0810) Card: ATI Radeon 7000/VE 32MB (Driver Recent As of 10-14-02) Video Mode: DX7 (w/o T&L) Version: 3.4 Beta Build 446 [View Quote] ActiveMovie popupsNov 27, 2005, 8:50pm
I've been having problems with a blank activemovie window poping up while
using AW. Even after updating all my graphic drivers and turning off streaming media and restarting they still keep poping up sometimes causing AW to crash. Does anyone know how to fix this? - Chiklit ActiveMovie popupsNov 30, 2005, 12:56am
It does happen at certain locations like I get whole bunch at AWGate GZ. But
there doesn't seem to be any media urls nearby. [View Quote] ActiveMovie popupsNov 30, 2005, 1:01am
One I just noticed poped up at 1889n 937e in AWTeen if you want to see if it
happens for you too. [View Quote] ActiveMovie popupsDec 1, 2005, 1:47am
I tried reinstalling AW and that didn't help. It happens on my laptop too
and they both have Windows Media Player 10. Though due to the stupid way that Microsoft designed their program I think they only way to reinstall it is to change something in the regestry that'll allow you to downgrade and then reupgrade. Is that what you mean? [View Quote] |
