SkypeIn Reaches Beta Users

Posted by Hemos on from the skype-to-the-island-skye dept.

galdur writes "Skype quietly released a new 1.2 beta featuring SkypeIn (in US, UK, France, China & Hong Kong), central voicemail (for those not using the free 3rd party SAM or Pamela), and finally centralised contact list. SkypeIn is the opposite of the company's SkypeOut, allowing you now to receive normal telephone calls through Skype."

  1. TROLLING BEYOND SLASHDOT - A HOWTO GUIDE by The_Fire_Horse · · Score: -1, Troll

    It's been almost a year since slushdrip banned the trolls in a totally mean spirited way. I mean, come on - all we ever wanted was the occasional FIRST POST and perhaps a harmless joke at the expense of you some of the more ... humourless .... readers of slishdrop.

    Hi , I'm The_Fire_Horse and you might remember me from such posts as
    "HOWTO - make money fast. with comments by Darl McBride", and
    "Beer - is it REALLY a substitute for food?"

    Today we are going to list a few of the best non Internet based trolls.
    1. Ask a homeless person for a smoke
    Go on - hell, they have asked you for smokes and money - time and time again - you are just getting a little balance back into the universe. If they say they dont have any money - call them a fucking liar and abuse them loudly.

    2. Pay the $699 SCO License fee
    but use a dud cheque account.

    Wait 5 days, then ask for a refund

    3. Travel on a bus
    and shit in your pants. Glare accusingly at the old lady sitting across from you and yell out "YOU SMELL LIKE SHIT, YOU STINKING OLD BAG"

    4. ???

    5. Profit!

    There should be a nice page explaining why Skype is bad (proprietary), and the advantage of using open, inter-operable solutions (SIP).

    Ok, I know, they may not be on par yet with skype, but still, seeing so much enthusiams for skype on /. is paradoxal ...

    Skype has a policy of changing their prices unnoted, remove credit from users (it "expires") and being general assholes.
