What Makes a Good IM Client?
thesaint05 asks: "So I was sitting here at my job where and IM is a pretty integral part of communicating intra-office. However, I have 3 different clients installed, and each has a different user base. Within the office we have an SIP server and use Windows Messenger. The Google Talk client is for colleagues and friends on the cutting edge, and AIM is used by pretty much everybody else (including a bunch of clients). So, after holding 3 different conversations simultaneously on all 3 clients (Windows Messenger with a colleague, AIM with my girlfriend, and Google Talk with a friend at a different tech company) I got to wondering, what are the strengths and weaknesses of all of these clients? Which do you use and why? If you could combine features from all of the IM clients out there, what would they be?"

Thanks and try the fish!
>>Religion stops a thinking mind hopefully a good religion augments a thinking mind. Any suggestions? Been shopping for one and along with an im client ;)
Okay, time to burn some karma.
For me, the best "religion" is one where you include all the good things that are popular with religion such as treating people nicely, respecting elders, don't kill people, etc, all the "moral" things that religion teaches. Then you ignore and remove all the weird/useless things like creationism, prayer, belief in a "higher power", "historical" things like moses talking to a burning bush that gave him some commandments.
I find that many (not all though) people who strongly follow a religion to all of it's teachings usually have below average intelligence. The people I refer to are sometimes low income and expect that their problems will be solved if they "believe" enough in some higher power who will save them. If those people spent more time working harder and learning the ways of the world as well as learning a skill to make a living, they would have a much better life.
I find that many highly technical people such as engineers, programmers, architects, and many other professions that require logical thinking do not follow a religion. Logical thinking and religion are contradictory. Science and religion is contradictory.
If you want to pick a good religion, try taoism since it focuses on philosophy more than some "higher power".
The goal of computer science is to build something that will last at least until we've finished building it.
Besides the fact that you're completely off topic (unless I missed a huge topic shift due to my filtering?) you've just described common courtesy, manners, and human decency -- not religion.
