Interesting. Email certainly has been a problem for Dreamhost before. And SquirrelMail is great that it's open source, but the client doesn't match up to Gmail's slick AJAX feature.
I definitely would have preferred something else (the only frontend that I can even find is Perlbox, which doesn't work for me), but you can't have em all. Like Daengbo said, it will probably become a library. I hope so, anyway.
"You're reading this because our trac can't keep up with all the people clicking through slashdot. The ticket really isn't very interesting, it's mostly name-calling. You can read it later, when the flood of people fetching it is something trac can handle.
In the mean time, here's a simplified summary of the situation (not the ticket).
Yes, there is a fork... yes, there are people who are unhappy with our IM client, which is a work in progress. Yes, a lot of the comments on the ticket were completely unreasonable. No, there are not a large number of unhappy users on the ticket, but there are a large number of comments. We call this a "vocal minority". Yes, we have already implemented most of the "features" in the fork -- some of them before it ever forked. No, we aren't running back to the old method of resizing the input box, but yes, options are still on the table.
This statement is not intended to be a position, it is simply a summary of the situation as we understand it.
Slashdot Mirror
Ditto everyone else: buy a laser printer. But since you didn't, buy it from Staples. They have cheap(er) refills... see http://www.staples.com/Stylus-Photo-RX595-Epson-All-in-One-Machines/cat_CL163297 Or... check Google Products.
This seems to work: http://home.swipnet.se/ridax/touchmic.htm I don't have an iTouch, though. You can also build one: http://touchmods.org/wiki/index.php/Getting_a_Mic
But is that always true? I've heard horror stories about even System76 laptops not working out of the box 100% with Ubuntu.

Video is another flame war right there :-P
