When I say they should only go after those who upload, I mean they should get the IP, subpoena the ISP, and file a suit--they should not "destroy their computer".
I've always wondered how downloading anything that's copyrighted is remotely illegal. If I find a website with copyrighted material that the website shouldn't have, it's not my fault for viewing the material, it's the website's fault for posting it. It shouldn't be any different over p2p networks--only the protocol is different.
They should only go after those who upload large amounts of copyrighted material.
If I remember correctly the Weta Workshop is in the middle of a city, so expanding isn't a big option, but adding to the power bill is certainly within Weta's budget.
SCO won't have a chance if this gets near a court--IBM will simply have it's legal department start making motions. Every motion IBM's lawyers make must be reviewed and countered by SCO's lawyer's.
IBM could of course just buy SCO and get rid of the problem quickly. However, in contrast to SCO, they are in this for the long run and probably take the long term view; they know that if they buy SCO, they are just taking care of the symptoms, not the cause. What they want to do is settle this Unix/Linux/AIX question once and for all. You want to make an example of SCO that every other company on the planet will learn from...
And then, after the court case, IBM buys SCO for cheap.
It's kind of funny that the main factor in Weta Digital's decision on the Blade servers was the space they took up, not the cost. Apparently Weta is running out of room.
Have there been any significant updates to IE in general since 4.0? I can't think of any.
What are you talking about? IE for Mac has not improved much since Mac OS 9 days. It might have been ported it to OS X (thanks to Carbon), but it's still the same slow ass, single threaded browser it always was.
Mozilla had the advantage that it has been designed from scratch for multi-threaded and particularly Unix systems in mind. The Mach-o release exploits this to present an Aqua front end and a multi-threaded sockets based backend and is subsequently very fast.
Were you replying to me? I have never used MacIE--I was merely making a statement about how I have not seen any improvements in IE since 4.0.
What SCO produces is certified as Unix by The Open Group. Therefore, it scales to a large number of processors. Linux does not scale nearly as well as any Unix. Hardware support I can't comment on. As for applications, as long as the particular brand of Unix that SCO sells is limited to the architectures the gcc supports, then almost any *nix application should work on SCO Unix.
I'm not defending SCO, I'm just pointing out that there are reasons companies are still using Unix instead of Linux on servers.
Ahh--I have to click that little triangle and look at the advanced options. I had gotten an error saying it couldn't find my account, and I was walking through the Exodus/Gabber tutorial on jabber.org, and it had both of those clients prompting you to create an account after you tried to connect, not before.
This will make it easier when I try to convert friends to Jabber (most of whom run Windows). I've tried many Jabber clients, and except for the registering problem I had I kept coming back to Gaim, and I still believe it's the only good Jabber client for Windows.
Thanks--though I guess if I'd looked a little harder I'd have found it myself anyway.
They should have had that from the beginning. Also, the license gives free updates for a year, so I would assume they'd wait to make a major update like that until about a year and a month after the first release.
FWIW, I use Proteus a very well-written Mac client that does ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Yahoo Japan, AOL IM, AOL IM(Oscar)-whatever that is, Jabber and Gadu-Gadu. (emphasis mine)
I would assume that by "AOL IM" it means the TOC protocol, which is good for IM and nothing else--no directly connecting, no file transfers, etc. AOL made the TOC protocol to say it had an open protocol. "AOL IM(Oscar)" probably refers to the reverse-engineered, real AIM protocol.
Gaim supports file transfers rather well, at least over oscar. I doubt video conferencing will ever be there, but you can transfer videos and pics as normal files.
Honestly I haven't tried Miranda--I'm mainly a Linux user, and I liked having the same interface for when I switched operating systems. But now I'm stuck with AOL (and thus, Windows) at home, so I might try Miranda.
The source code for Trillian is not available. Trillian Pro costs $25 now. I haven't tried Miranda, but I use Gaim, and there's no "hands-down" winner when you compare Miranda and Gaim.
I like OS X, but I'm not going to say it's a Unix until the Open Group says so. There should be nothing wrong with "Unix-like", but the "Unix based" claim that the article says Apple uses is not right.
Your client looks decent, and while I like the Jabber protocol, I don't like how most Jabber clients look. I simply prefer how AIM and ICQ's official clients look, so I use Gaim. Gaim has some problems with registering accounts on servers, but I use Gabber to register and Gaim to chat.

Nice, but not quite as cool as your own Jubei.
It appears Garage Games is licensing their Torque Game Engine to anyone for $100.
Replying to myself, but o well...

If you're buying an SUV you've already shown you don't care about the environment. Ford would be more likely to use this on cars than on SUVs.

Gaim has a Win32 port, and you can most likely install X11, GTK and then Gaim on OS X as well.

I honestly don't care.

Hell, Trillian doesn't even support non-QWERTY (read: DVORAK) keyboards, even when set as "us".
Gaim supports file transfers rather well, at least over oscar. I doubt video conferencing will ever be there, but you can transfer videos and pics as normal files.

Can you specify exactly what "single message mode" is? I'm not sure I follow from the above.
Here's the log file:
while ( 1 ) printf ( "Patches are always welcome!\n" );
Are you complaining?
