The new version of licq supports encrypted messages. So long as you have another way of verifying identity, (Secure Shell Server Key, Certificate on their webserver, They tell you where you have a birthmark no one knows about, etc.) It can be very private and secure. you said: "every last scrap of information about you will now be collected unless it's your e-mail. " actually, there are probably copies of your old e-mails floating around. They could be on the server the message was sent from, the server the message was sent to, any system on the same subnet as those servers, any system in between, and any system belonging to someone who has access to the aforementioned systems.
So if you want privacy: *Use pgp *Use licq *Use encrypted and/or anonymous chat systems *Use an anonymous proxy *Whisper it in their ear instead
That's to be expected. The engine will probably turn up mp3 channels with xdcc bots for most searches
for those of you who don't know, xdcc bots are file servers that display the files they have to offer in the channel there are also bots that open up chat windows and accept ftp-like commands
The reason that the xdcc bots in mp3 channels would show up is that generally, any given word is in the title of at least one song
This happens with Gnutella Most Gnutella searches turn up lots of mp3s, even when that's not what you're looking for

I feel your pain it's 4 AM here I'm too lazy to go downstairs and find out some stupid chick took the dryer
At the moment, I'm sipping a surge, and I must scream out: *The benchmarks are misleading!*;) That is to say that with surge, it's not the caffiene, but the maltodextrin that gets you Maltodextrin is one of the important parts of gatorade, but it's way more concentrated in surge
oh - *there's* my sugar rush I'll be checking on that dryer now

By using the word communist over and over, I can make anyone look evil
Let's start with an easy one: die die die you commy pigs See how that makes them sound evil? just pigs isn't evil at all, but if these particular pigs *gasp* share everything they become instantly evil Now a more difficult one: we must stop this communistic policy See how the word communistic makes the policy sound evil and it's not even a person Now for the hard one: ESR is no better than a Communist By saying "ESR is no better than my dog" for example, you just don't get the same effect This is because everyone knows there is nothing more base and evil than giving according to your ability and being given according to your need Now for the fun part. Watch how easy it is to make anyone look evil: Charlton Heston is a communist so let's ban the movie The Ten Commandments The author of that last post is a subversive communist Jesus is a subversive communist Martha Stewart is a Communist with a capital 'C' Your goldfish is a communist Rob Malda, creator of Slashdot, is a communist You are a communist
The problem is a lack of namespace. Try getting a.com or.org name and you'll probably find that it is taken. Your second and third choices will also be taken. New TLDs will relieve some crowding, and that's good for everybody no matter which ones are approved
O.K. let me get this straight X ran on the Unix systems of long ago Computer power doubles every 18 months. Now X is too much for our desktops and embedded devices. Did I miss something here?
I think we're missing the point here. The X-box is an example of the fruits of capitalism. You see, Capitalism is a double-edged sword. With competition comes competitive products, and theoretically, competitive prices. However, separate groups do not benefit from each others accomplishments leading to large amounts of duplicated (read: wasted) effort. Under communism, we probably would have no x-box, and there would be no N64 or Dreamcast There would be a PlayStation 7 and a N256. They would play every game on the market, have stunning graphics, run blazingly fast, and cost very little to produce. The missed point here is that the Open Source movement is parallel to Marxist Communism. Each person gives according to his ability, and recieves according to his needs. While the open source movement is aided by the fact that the cost of getting the product to many people is not significantly more than getting it to a few, The fact remains that under the right conditions such a system can be very succesful. I agree that greed is a very real and necessary motivator, but it doesn't mean wanting more than the person next door, it means wanting more than you need. This definition makes the matter clearer: To want/get/have more than the person next door is childish and futile. To want/get/have more than you need is natural and normal. The world may not be ready for communism, but the general trend of civilization is that technology allows for needs to be taken care of with less and less effort, and for increasing focus on wants. Some day, maybe not long from now, software will generally be free, and people will pay programmers for customization, custom solutions, and added features. Some day, maybe not long from now, food will generally be free, and people will work that extra hour to get a PlayStaion 7.
To be more on topic, If microsoft made a game console that used a slightly faster version of the same processor as one of their competitors, they could write a program that would be less of an emulator than another implementation of the other game console. This is, ironically, parallel to the (Marxist?) project that will some day, maybe not long from now, be their downfall.
Yet again, Microsoft misses the point completely. Visual Basic is a success because people *already know BASIC* There is a wealth of example code available, as well as a high number of people who can teach it. The same is true for C, C++, Cobol, and others. There is very little reason to use this new, unproven, and untested language.
Portability will be totally non-existant.
With the anti-trust lawsuit, there is no way to tell if 'Applications Microsoft' would continue the product after a split.
I expect that the success of C# will be at best similar to that of ActiveX. More likely, it will totally flop.
