![]() How to handle error messagesWhen we were kids, we imagined that the future held flying cars and moon bases. Technology and humanity would be in perfect sync. Our machines would anticipate our needs, leaving us to pursue only the most relevant, important work. ![]() Why MAC address filtering is not perfectMAC addresses - which are different for each device on your network - may seem to be the perfect way to keep out intruders, but there’s a catch. Since you can change the MAC address on most modern hardware, someone could theoretically connect to a filtered network by spoofing the MAC address. ![]() Disposable JewelryAsk yourself a question, “Why do people buy jewelry?” Personal adornment? Possibly beauty? Certainly investment? These may be reasons for some, but the number one reason for the purchase of jewelry is status. Pure and simple. If I can have something you can’t have I’m better than you. ![]() How to tell a real diamond from a fakePeople want to know if there is some simple test they can do at home or little tricks of the trade to tell if the ring they own is a valuable heirloom or of the Cracker Jack variety. Without question the quickest and most reliable method for authenticity would be an independent appraisal. This can be accomplished easily enough by looking under “Appraisal (Jewelry)” in your yellow pages. ![]() About OpenGLOpenGL is a procedural rather than descriptive interface. In order to generate a rendering of a red sphere the programmer must specify the appropriate sequence of commands to set up the camera view and modeling transformations, draw the geometry for a sphere with a red color. etc. ![]() The Self-Affirming Culture of GamingIn these three examples, we have seen that economic, political, and legal activity that crosses the membrane between synthetic worlds and the Earth serves mostly to blur any distinction between what is synthetic and what is Earthly. This argument may be applied more generally to the world of gaming as a whole. ![]() General introduction to Risk managementEvery day we take risks. If we cross the street we risk being run over. If we go down the stairs, we risk missing a step and tumbling down. Taking risks is such a common occurrence, that we tend to ignore it. Indeed, life would be unbearable if we constantly worried whether we should or should not carry out a certain task or take an action, because the risk is, or is not, acceptable. ![]() Project management planAs soon as the project manager has received his brief or project instructions, he must produce a document which distils what is generally a vast amount of information into a concise, informative and well-organized form that can be distributed to all members of the project team and indeed all the stakeholders in the project. ![]() Sketching a Steady-State Synthetic WorldTechnology changes so rapidly that it would be foolish to try to list innovations now emerging in particular synthetic worlds. What is an innovation today may be old hat in a few years, and the world may not even exist anymore. It’s equally dangerous to assume that developments will happen, when of course they might well not. Economists who study dynamic processes typically avoid describing the state of some system when the system is in major flux. ![]() Effects of Video GamesSearching for motives, we might consider more deeply the effects that games have. What is the experience unique to synthetic worlds that is so attractive for so many? Unfortunately, there is much more research into the effects of video games in general than on the specific effects of massively multiplayer virtual world games.
