Jabber Could Get An IETF Working Group

Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · 2002-09-02 05:01 · Score: -1, Troll

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
Happy Troll Labour Day! by Anonymous Coward · 2002-09-02 05:04 · Score: -1, Troll

Here's to all the hard-working trolls that keep digitalteenz and goatse running. Just because the office is closed doesn't mean we're not out there and doing what we do best. Keep on trucking, brothers.

..i still don't really know what jabber is and the jabber website couldn't tell me this either in simple words.
I tried some Jabber client some months ago but couldn't really do anything with it.

Could anyone of you guys be nice and explain what it is? (perhaps compared to widely known things like irc, icq, napster...)
THANK YOU!

  Check this out - basically it'll explain to you what cross-platform instant message protocols can do so that users (especially those on *NIX platforms) can enjoy these new communications softwares more efficently. I don't have time to explain it all right now, but check out the above site and it'll help you out.
Jabber and Porn sites. by Anonymous Coward · 2002-09-02 05:18 · Score: -1, Troll

Hey then you could do real time chatting with the hot girls at all the porn sites out there such as Digital Teenz using Jabber. Remember Digital Teenz is the one stop shop for all your porn needs, in a simple easy to use web interface. Soon you will even be able to chat to all the hot girls at Digital Teenz using Jabber. So remember Digital Teenz, No Bullshit Porn and you get to meet the girls up close and personal!

I thought that said "Hot Grits". I actually had a woody until I realized it said hot girls.

But if the other software manufactures have the market already then it doesn't matter if the IETF says that jabber is the standard. Unless there is a way of either converting the users en mass or have some way of convincing the companies its worth it.

Remember the girls at Digital Teenz are accessable via Jabber and anything else you want. You can get *real* close to them....
