Any reason in particular why you don't got Brazil there or you just haven't got around talking with the local carriers just yet?

I have way too much free time i guess...that and the ability of receiving new reply email notifications, it is quite handy...

I think there are way more of them than you expect.

I'm too sleepy right now, but i think in at least one of the steps you are supposed to take in that sequence there you're dividing by 0...i'm not sure what to make of this...i need sleep...

edit: alright, i forgot, dividing by zero is the Godwin's of math, if that comes up it's over, now i'm on a horse.

Can you, for example, build a house where the rooms are the faces of a tesseract, which allows you to walk from room to room going 'round and 'round the warped space, with just SMF + fancy avatars?

We just gotta make it interesting enough for those we wanna keep and boring enough for the people we wanna distance from and i expect things will get quite decent.

You should make little labels and put them in a glass display like those where people keep dead butterflies and beetles.

It's not possible to have a model that accounts for it's own existence?

(i promise this is the last post of this burst, if i think of anything that won't be suited to be just edited in i'll write it down and wait for replies here)

Btw, i think you might be interested in this idea i suggested some time ago; the thread's Just throwing an idea out there: Distributed decentralized MOO/Second Life hybrid virtual universe?

Oh, and it would be nice if you make it trully peer to peer, make sims be hostable anywhere instead of inside a self-contained grid, and the client capable of hosting a (possibly reduced capacity) full fledged sim if the user desires, so they can carry their own home wherever they go (to put sims together, instead of considering grid coordinates, have each border come with a URL for the intended neighbor sim; if the sim on the other side of the border links back, and the two sims are running compatible backends, things like shared physics over the border and moving/sharing assets (links and cached copies) seamless etc would be enabled, otherwise the border would work one way, and the client would connect to the neighbor sim when it's in drawing (or hearing or whatever) range to show what is there before the avatar crosses the border, and to make the crossing smoother.



edit: obviously for more intensive things like multisim racing etc, having the two machines close, measured in terms of speed, bandwidth and latency, would likely be quite close to top priority.

edit2: oh, and you shouldn't need to limit the intersim gateways to just the borders, you could also add arbitrarily positioned and shaped gateways kinda like the "portals" in Croquet (the two way negotiation between the sims might be a tad more complicated in this case i guess, but i think it's worth the effort)

Btw, an idea i think would be awesome to have implemented in SL, and wouldn't be any less awesome in this FreeSL thing your proposing; don't limit asset storage just to the sim hosts or other centralized options, let people choose to host their shit anywhere they want, anything from a choice of free and paid third party web storage services even hosting it on their own machine, having their shit only avaiable while they're online and getting downloaded by other people only as fast as their upload pipe allows. And make it easy to switch hosts, for things that are present on sims, disconnected from your av, store the asset URL on the sim not the asset itself (if the sim managers want they could just restrict the URLs to their own hosting service if they want); similarly for assets on your avatar, the client informs the server the URLs it wanna use and the servers decide if they wanna allow everything or restrict to specific hosts, or even only specific URLs under their control.


Of course, sim managers (and  any clients) might decide it's a good idea to cache assets locally; i don't see anything stopping them from doing that.



edit: Of course scripts would need to be stored on the sims in order to run, but if people want, they should be allowed to save the scripts elsewhere and have the sim automaticly (or when told so) update the cached copy of the sourcecode and respective bytecode. And if it finally comes with clientside thirdparty scripting (obviouslly sandboxed etc), similarly clients will hold a cached copy of the source and locally copiled bytecode (though if you gonna add client side scripting, it would also be great to have a separated type of them, "rooted" scripts, things people choose to install, kinda like Firefox's extensions, things that can do pretty much everything the user can plus twiddle with the internals directly. Obviously people should only install those they trust won't do bad things against their will.)

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

In sites that hide comments/posts when they've been too downvoted, i tend to always unhide them, and often i disagree with the "decision" to have them hidden after reading the contents myself; i don't trust the masses with censoring stuff for me.

Surely it could hire actors, filmcrew etc by email and similar and have someone hired in a similar manner deliver the tape/disc to Faux News headquarters or whatever is the suitable address for such things.

Though perhaps Bitcoin is not an AI per se, but some sort of emergent memetic superorganism, humans are just cells/drones, cogs in the machine, turning as it breathes.

Why would it be useless for legal stuff?

Why sequencialy? Why not find them all, in parallel or otherwise, beforehand and then go at them all at once? (possibly also taking the time to map the possible backup ones that are gonna be brought online  beforehand as well, to be ready to get them too if they show up)

With hashes you can't add new transactions to old blocks without changing the puzzle and the answer to it, but if you just slap the transactions as plaintext together with a totally unrelated proof of work, there is nothing stopping an attacker from rewriting history at will.

Doesn't seem to be working, are you sure that is the right URL?

Buttcows LOL!!! xD
