    from the article: "Skype, created by the people who brought you KaZaA, uses innovative P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you with other Skype users."

  2. Meta: Slashdot theme by Teancom · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the *worst* slashdot theme, color-wise, yet? I mean, we've had some doozies, but this looks really bad. I mean, the logo looks just like someone using gimp's script-fu and the color very closely matches the color of my three year-old's puke.

    Just thought I'd mention.
