AOL To Charge for AIM Videoconferences

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the a/s/l dept.

gwoodrow writes "In some of my college computer classes, we discussed the necessity of some sort of profit to be made eventually from major software. AIM was often sited as a rare example of a large company offering up a free service that generated almost no profit whatsoever. Well, that's all changing. It seems that AOL will begin charging for both voice and video conferencing services via the buddy list. Some AIM addicts are surely getting worried that AOL may eventually charge for regular usage."

    I've learned some things at my work place.
    1. Most blacks are lazy people.
    2. They expect everything 'handed' to them. If they don't get their way, they cry racism.
    3. They believe they didn't get that raise or that promotion because they are black, and not because they are incompetent and completely unreliable.
    4. I've worked for this company less than a year, and know more and have accomplished more than my black co-workers.
    5. They gossip more than they work.
    6. They are ignorant.
    I've noticed these thing in most, but not all blacks. Some do actually work. But they are the exception. That fact is that most blacks are lazy slackers.

    ps, these comments apply to Michael Sims as well. Hot-Cha-Cha-Cha . . .

    Hey, does your SIG have an adjustable shell extractor? Last time I shot one, it liked to dump the brass down my collar. That hurt.
