that means your video card does not support D3D, I had that too before I

Russia? hmmmm, haven't forgotten the cold war yet, hmmm? come on, Russia has
changed after communism was abolished, they're taking responsability and
trying to make their society thrive, go be pissed off at China if you wanna
complain about death penalty.

If you'll do a little investigating, you'll find out that many of Bin
Laden's speeches/messages to the world have something to do with something
that occurred back in 1921, as he keeps saying they've been under the yoke
of American imperialism for 80 years. What that refers to, I'm not exactly
sure, but it would have been during the presidency of Warren G. Harding, so
apparently the recent terrorist actions have roots that reach back a long
way. What any of that has to do with Bin Laden, who was not alive during
that time, is anyone's guess. One of the really weird things about Bin
Laden is that almost all of his immediate family (who are fairly well-off
and very well educated) resides right here in the U.S. They've long ago
disowned this fellow from their family, and condemned his actions on
numerous occasions, but, as you can imagine, his actions have made their
lives a living hell as well. And no, I'm not forgetting the suffering and
loss of the people whose relatives were on those planes or in those
buildings that were destroyed in NY, DC, and Philadelphia. I know that
they, too, continue to suffer and mourn the deaths of their friends and
relatives, and that they, above everyone else, deserve to see justice done
with regards to the terrorists who perpetrate these sorts of incidents.

As far as prisons, the courts, and the death penalty goes... the European
Union has, as a body, unanimously condemned the death penalty as a
punishment for any sort of crime. They seem to have trouble understanding
why we here in the United States have no trouble with keeping the death
penalty as a punishment. To their way of thinking, we're supposed to be one
of the more advanced-thinking countries, and yet we continue to perpetuate
what they consider a backward mentality. Our use of the death penalty puts
us on a list of countries that includes Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, etc.
Is that the sort of company we wish to keep? *shrugs* Russia is currently
at the top of the list of countries that routinely use the death penalty,
the sheer numbers of prisoners killed there is outrageous, and yet our own
numbers of prisoners, our increasing numbers of prisons, and our use of the
death penalty will shortly rival theirs. Has this method of dealing with
crime and criminals been very effective? I'm not certain it has, and I have
no idea what method would work better, but it seems to me that what we're
currently doing isn't going to lead us into a world where we can "all just
get along."

I'm European, but I don't mind death penalty in extreme cases. I think the
US governors should be a bit less easy on signing death sentences in cases
of lower magnitude, life sentence seems better for that, as you know ppl
sentenced to death often are inocent or can't be taken responsible of their
acts (ppl with severe mental illnesses, etc)... and no, I don't agree with
your teacher Fox, especially not from a french one that teach they won the
world war nearly single-handedly even though they certainly did not...

looks lik kmissile[weird number]k was right! the AWC have used the uni
greeting topromote AWBingo, which I think is wrong of them. also, a while
back they sent out a message about a birthday, which I thinkis a bit
unprofesionnal of them... here is the message displayed now:
"Immigration Officer: Welcome to Active Worlds 3.2! For the latest
information on 3.2, please see http://www.activeworlds.com/help/
AWBingo4 is now open!!! Join us for fun and prizes!!! :-)"

hi, I hope that I have not offenced you in any way, as I greatly appreciate
that you are working so closely to the community! Well, Moria said about all
there was to say before me, guess there's no reason to repeat that...
regarding the birthday, I don't mind at all that birthdays are announced,
but when it goes universe-wide it seems a bit weird, as long as all citizen
birthdays aren't announced it could also feel a bit like favoritism for some
people (especially if it's their birthday too or something like it). Thank
you for the understanding! :-))

I think they rather should have a sign at AW GZ or perhaps a special world
for it, and perhaps let everyone have a chance of being announced (the more
profesional version, instead of just doing it for your personal friends, as
it is on the behalf of the company)

I agree with no spamming in the universal message, but if they were to
advertise the new client, maybe new pricing's and so forth I would not care.
For a new AW Client for example, it can make the persons experience a lot
better...

Another thing is, if you purchased your own universe, you too would be able
to set a universe message, no one has looked at it this way... And as a
universe owner you would reserve the right to advertise what you wish to
customers who have purchased worlds from you...
AWCOM owns the AW Universe, they can do what they wish. Although some will
disagree with some spamming, but it is there sole choice and right!

we don't care about your views on paintball... at least not when you just
say "pball sucks.....", instead of something remotely constructive

reinstall drivers, mess with IDE stuff, if you're real stuck, get a new
drive... I just had a problem with a CD-ROM drive that got messed up after
reading a scratchy CD, started off by corrupting the secondary IDE
controller's drivers, then it made the slave disk not detect, just bought an
old drive from a friend and there was no more problems lol...

Windows drive letters are just there to be pretty... check if it's got
correct master/slave config (you do that with the config jumpers on the back
of the drive, should be next to the power connector) for the IDE cable it's
on

"my CD-ROM" is your drive, right? a bunch of CDs don't just stop working
like that, take some of them to a friend's and see if they work there... if
they do, go to the shops and get a new drive is my advice...
