.... proves difficult. For example, if the law states that may only be used for ethical and positive purposes what may be ethical and positive to one may not be to another. So, specific restrictions must be made on the uses; such as, it must only be used on a life threatening disease or life altering problem. However, even these restrictions could be used to ones discretion, obstacles such as these are problematic and must be dealt with carefully and monitored closely.

.... amounts of equipment, lease new telephone lines, and issue commercials apologizing for the whole predicament. They even started giving refunds to users who were never able to get on during the troubled ordeal. Some people are predicting, because of the length of Internet calls and the amount of bandwidth the calls take, that one day in the not so distant future, the entire telephone network, or at least a great portion of it, will cease to function, and all telephone calls will fail to connect. This idea is referred to by some as the "Gridlock Theory." Others .....

.... within the world. Some worlds are animated by other processes, perhaps physical simulations, or simple animation scripts. Interaction with the virtual world, at least with near real time control of the viewpoint, in my opinion, is a critical test for a 'virtual reality'. Some people object to the term "Virtual Reality", saying it is an oxymoron. Other terms that have been used are Synthetic Environments, Cyberspace, Artificial Reality, Simulator Technology, etc. VR is the most common and sexiest. It has caught the attention of the media.

Even from its beginnings, the Internet has always been a battlefield between phreaks and administrators. The Internet hasn't always been a public forum.

Another reason is obviously Intel's reputation. They have built up such a standard of .....
