I think it can be great for hanging out with friends who are far away, it makes everyone appear right there with you, but I'll never use Meta's rubbish.
I used SecondLife for years, now I'm more often on VRChat.

Microsoft learns how bad these things are and removes all that rubbish. Someone else thinks, "oh that's a brilliant idea!"

How about working out the number of grams from one mol of Oxygen(?) atoms? If they all have an atomic mass of ~16 you know they're about 16 grams.

Look from each component and the input and output streams based on that.
The client's output stream is the server's input stream, the server's output stream is the client's input stream.
The widgets output is the clients input and the widget's input is the clients output.

Linux Preinstalled Dell Available Soon 305
An anonymous reader writes "According to a BetaNews article,
Dell confirmed on Wednesday plans to offer Linux pre-installed on select desktop and notebook systems, beyond its current Linux-based servers and Precision workstations.
No specific time frame was given for the expanded Linux plans, although the company said in a blog posting that it will provide an update in the coming weeks regarding the effort. It will detail 'information on which systems we will offer, our testing and certification efforts, and the Linux distribution(s) that will be available,' Dell said, adding that, 'The countdown begins today.'"
Every Vista Computer Gets Its Own Domain Name 388
c_forq writes, "According to APC magazine, every new Windows Vista computer will be given its own domain name to access files remotely. There is a catch though: to use it one must be using IPv6. Is the push for Vista also going to be the push finally to switch everything from IPv4 to IPv6?" Microsoft, meanwhile, is trying to convince businesses to adopt both Vista and Office 2007 at once. An analyst is quoted: 'In all likelihood, enterprises will tie deployment of both Vista and Office 2007 with a hardware upgrade cycle.' His reasoning is that it will be easier for companies to handle one disruption to IT systems than two. Or three.
