..by far, the BEST 3D webn browser in existance right now..with the next version, 32, it will have ful support for software rendering, openGL, renderware and direct3d...plus, it has been populted for over five years, and is the LARGEST geographic virtual real estate (with one world being built in continuously for FIVE years, at the virtual size of CALIFORNIA with over 92 MILLION individual objects being built by regular people.....it is,t he utter BEST 3D browser on the internet today, hands down. Fuck worlds, fuck VRML, something like THIS is the future.
..you guysa rgue semantics way too much.
Whichever way you look at it - this is a DARK day for the space program. Any cuts like this, signal dark days. We already, do not have enough resources dedicated to our future. And, space IS the future. You are not going to get any Heinleinian space messiahs coming along, no big business man with a vision that will lift us off this mud ball.
No, stop arguing semantics - any cut to the space program, is a devastating cut.
God dammnit, I want to get off this frikken rock before I die, and at the moment, nasa and its exploration is the only hope for private enterprises to follow.
The liberal government is doomed completely.
Just look at WA, which was a staunch liberal state - the proof is there.
They have handled affairs SO pporly, that they are totally doomed. All labour needs to do, is say that they will review these new tech laws and they will win the complete tech voter pool right there.
Bloody pathetic - you know, I used to be fence sitter between liberal and labour, as they both ahd good ideals - but Mr Howard is not a Liberal - god knows what that government is, but it aint Liberal...
F.
As an aussie who is now residing here in the states...well, my god...this is *worse* than the DMCA - , under this, it willb e cokmpletely illegal to have cracks for any software on a website within Australia.
what a shame my home has such a Totalitarian government - I laugh whenever I hear people call Australia a Democracy...what a load of shit..makes me think alot about ever wanting to live back home again - no wonder they are having a brain drain on tech people (like myself), they are showing a complete lack of understanding of anything of a technical nature, with blanket laws laid down by old farts who spent up to five decades not even knowing where the on button for a light switch was, let alone a computer.
Idiots passing laws whent hey have absolutly no understanding of it.
Glad I am a dual citizen, at least here in the states you guys have an inkling as to what your talking about when passing laws like this.
They wonder why they have a brain drain. Idiots.
I dont get it really - it says ont here they will continue to release their non-3d stuff into the main wine tree - why not their 3D stuff as well ?? Thats really odd to me - why not put everything towards wine as well, isnt that the whole aim of wine? Why put up one portion, jsut so that you know, you have a solution but leave the thing crippled in a way ?
Strange rational.
About three weeks ago, it was sitting in my pile unread....
Yeah, its okay - not as good as his toher stuff actually, but the ideas are good...its a solid book..jsut..i dont know, a little wishy washy for my tastes ?
In my humble opinion, Activeworlds is alot better for this purpose, as it is actually designed to implement this kind of thing....using a game engine isnt exactly the answer....
I moved tot his country about 3 months ago..on ordering my phone line to be conencted at home, i was enve rtold that i had to call AT&T or someone by my local company to set up a long distance account with them.
Nobody told me that i had to do that - nobody, nor did i have any idea. Back home in australia, you get connected, and you get everything in the one package....yes, perhaps i was naive, but the long and the short of it ?
AT&T have charged me ******$3******* a minute pers call back home, what should of bene a $200 is now a $1200 bill...i am crushed and devasted at this, im jsut young man ! I jstu moved here, why didnt my local company tell me ??? As far as I am concerned,th ere is NOTHING good about any of your phone companies =9
*sigh*...does anyone know if there is any way to appeal this kind of things? compassionate grounds (yeah right,.,..)
i mean, he made slashdot with it, maybe event hat was totally intended...copy a well known site, tell a few people, get posted on Slashdot, then get hit by the Slashdot effect to boost up his hits - damn fine marekting ploy if you ask me....smart kind, someone hire him !

...err...have the CROCODILE HUNTER making decisions ?? LOL
No way man....they dont even play that stupid show in Australia, people think hes an idiot - hes an export product...
