    1) multiple concurrent video chat streams

    I am not sure what you mean.

    If you mean n-way video chat, where n>2, Skype (on Linux at least, I have never tried on Windows) does not support this, so it is not a step backwards.

    If you mean multiple independent chat streams, you could just run multiple copies of the program.

    Or does Skype allow multiple video sources in one call?

  12. Re:Dear God... on Amazon Responds To "App Store" Lawsuit From Apple · · Score: 1

    "App" and "Store" together created new meaning no more than "Auto" and "Shop" together did. Should the first guy to call his shop "Auto Shop" instead of "Bill's" or "Bill's Automobile Sales and Service" have gotten a trademark on it? No, of course not. That is why nobody was dumb enough to try.

  19. Re:and how many people use Airport? on Apple AirPlay Private Key Exposed · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I bought one once. I set up the network for a small organization and every time there was any kind of problem they blamed the WiFi router and called me. I bought a Airport and threw that in there instead. Now they have just as many problems but they assume that the Apple product cannot possibly be the issue, and I have not received a complaint from them since. It has been a almost two years. It was well worth the $180 to me.

    The church has a long history of trying to hide the truth.

    The Catholic Church as a religious organization has a long history of trying to find and understand the truth, theologically. The Catholic Church as a political organization, as with any political organization, has a long history of trying to hide the truth of the politics of the church. In these writings, the comparison is made to the former, not the latter.
