This is what I mean by the democratization of virtuality - allowing individuals and small groups to run servers, create communities and build applications. Is OpenSim there yet? Not really - it’s still pretty complicated to set up and the code quaility and functionality is still at the alpha (not even beta) stage. But progress is rapid and I think the project has very good potential for helping to bring the development and hosting of virtual worlds to everybody. - Opensource Obscure

inizia con il trovare tante persone piu o meno interessanti da seguire, e seguile. poi quando vedi che Tizio scrive cose interessanti su Twitter, ma su Flick pubblica solo foto brutte, usa la funzione Hide per nascondere tutte le sue foto (ma solo le sue foto) - Opensource Obscure

capisco - facciamo che se hai domande specifiche sul funzionamento tecnico provo a risponderti a quelle - Opensource Obscure

grazie grazie ..spero avere tempo di seguirlo un po' perchè sembra molto interessante :) - aeleen tomsen

I use Debian and Debian derivatives. My workstation is currently Ubuntu -- easy installation, works well with no tweaking required. - Jeremy Brooks

I say Ubuntu, it often works out of the box. The problem is that you bought your hardware without checking before if it's supported on Linux at all. When hardware makers don't document their devices and don't provide Linux drivers, using a Linux flavor or another doesn't make difference. - Opensource Obscure

Go with ubuntu. You have the advantage that the instalstion CD is also a live CD, if you want to try before installing, and that you can be doing something in the laptop while it is being installed... - Marcos Marado via fftogo

"a Google Earth file which lets you view the LHC in Google Earth with a 3D model suspended above ground so you can see the layout. There is also a diagram of the entire underground ring and even an animation showing two particles colliding." - Opensource Obscure via Bookmarklet

I am very eager to take a look at this. We have been talking a lot about LHC in the family, and I am glad that there is an opportunity for an interactive walkthrough. - David Orban

After playing with it, I admit I'm not impressed by the 3D model - 3 buildings, no textures at all, ~150 'primitives' - the animation is nice (tip: zoom out a few kilometers heigth to watch it or you'll miss the particles) - Opensource Obscure

This man pushes the status quo POV to millions of people, primetime, on RAI (main public television company in Europe); he hosts shows inviting people that say things as "The Internet is the antechamber of prostitution amongst the youth" - http://www.beppegrillo.it/eng/... - Opensource Obscure

I'm adding a screenshot just to show what's actually happening. I also linked my vimeo account just to show that it does in fact exist. - Dustin

I think the Vimeo servers were having problems (when I first clicked on your link, it gave me a "database connection error"). It appears to be working fine now though. Try again and let me know if you encounter any more problems. - Paul Buchheit

I'm good now, but it's still kind of a bit hacky. Perhaps it should just use the rss feed instead. - Dustin

Hilarious! Best quote: "...when people worldwide went online en-masse to research the green glow in the skies after the Even Larger Hadron Collider experiment in 2011, Google.com wasn’t available – and people started looking for alternative ways to access news. Google became available again days later, but some users would never return" - Opensource Obscure via Bookmarklet

quella che viene chiamata ‘Legge di Metcalfe’, analoga alla ‘Legge di Moore’, che afferma che il valore di una rete è proporzionale al quadrato degli elementi che lo compongono, si può interpretare anche alla rovescia. Se una rete potenzialmente grande viene divisa in più parti, il suo valore viene polverizzato e velocemente annullato. - Opensource Obscure

"I can imagine mobile platforms evolving in that way, in that they interact with the world around us in a way that changes our perceptions in a really interesting way," he says. "Games could increase our awareness of our immediate environment, rather than distract us from it." - Opensource Obscure

Google Earth can run in a browser window today* but still use Intrinsic Alchemy under the hood for its 3D rendering, as it did since 2000. Running in the browser, on the other hand, fundamentally means using the browser’s own resources, Javascript, 3D canvases, AJAX fetch, etc.. in a cross-platform and zero-download way to do all the work. - Opensource Obscure

virtual worlds give you the opportunity to do real-time, 3D storyboarding. Storyboarding is traditionally a panel-by-panel process that can’t really give you the full sense of the experience while virtual worlds enable you to go live and breathe in those worlds with motion - Opensource Obscure

technology will allow movies to be more interactive and video games to be increasingly lifelike. Playing a movie at home, users can change plots, interact with characters and even create new endings. - Opensource Obscure

"Lag exists in all communication; however, the unnatural extension of lag in CMC makes it clearer that one is talking only with (or against) oneself. Western thought breaks apart decision from action; CMC breaks one apart from one's self, asynchronously. Whether this locates (locutes?) anxiety or ecstasy has therefore nothing whatsoever to do with a 'stranger' but only with the degree of familiarity and understanding one might have of oneself -- the great potential of CMC is that it may fool people... into greater understanding." - Opensource Obscure via Bookmarklet
