that is what i meant by 'old' - hasn't been updated/changed in quite a while, at least not noticeably.
I know Trillian and GAIM use it, as does BeAIM, all with varying success, but Fire's implementation of it sure is missing a lot of the things that make it worthwhile to me, like file transfer, and just about everything else:P
iChat: i use it as my AIM client now... it's not the same as Fire and Adium, as it uses the real oscar protocols rather than the older TOC which has far fewer features. I have an iSight, and it love it, it's the best webcam I've ever seen. I've only done the video conferencing in iChat once, with a friend who also has a firewire cam and DSL.
Yahoo: I use my cam with this most of the time, but yahoo limits your frame rates big time usually to no more than 2 or 3 fps tops. Not having voice really sucks too.
Oh, excuse me, it's not FMV, but it's still about 1995 video game technology. This is Karnal Kombat, basically. Actually it reminds me of some 3DO game that looked kinda cool at the time, but the game play turned out to suck ass.
Be folded, and I guess sold its IP to Palm, but sold the source code to the yellowTAB guys, which was absolutely the right move. Palm is sitting on their hands (pardon the pun) about using any Be IP, but the yTAB guys are hard at work on the next version of BeOS, now called Zeta. Check it out.
a Never Ending Story MMORPG. There's all the stuff from the first book/movie (I consider all the later movies as non-canon content, because they sucked), all the creatures and species, like the Plains People Who Hunt the Purple Buffalo, the Rock Biters, etc., and the game could revolve around people doing things to help stem any incursion of The Nothing, though I'm not exactly sure how right now.
there's only ONE reason this news scares me: my girlfriend and I use MCI Neighborhood Plan thing to talk for an unlimited time at a flat monthly rate. I sure hope that this flat rate thing doesn't disappear, we can't afford to talk as much as we want if that's the case. Is it?
I *do* think it's pretty l33t what MCI has (allegedly) been doing, as a purely technical fascination.

Coming soon to a market near you: Soylent Hobo!
jaded by modern graphics, those screenshots look far from impressive.
Interesting to see what happened to the M2 though

Damn this game looks retarded, some bit FMV game a la "Night Trap", but looking even MORE like a Troma film in video game format
it's "I bent my wookie"
I blame Snake Plissken.
Well, Nintendo said it stopping production of the GameCube
Video games don't make you violent
If I ever see Bushnell in the street, hit him with my car, then run over him until his body disappears!
I was just about to bring this up.
He was dubbed as a so-called 'Humanzee", and I have to confess, when I saw a special on him on the Discovery Channel, it kinda freaked me out.
The article doesn't mention any link between the two, but it would be interesting to see Oliver's skull when he finally keels over.
then find a cave and close your eyes, plug your ears and don't let popular culture reach your mind. C'mon, really - it's just a story.
actually it's "'federal pound you in the ass prison"
but hey, whatever floats your boat.

"Maybe it's a tumor"
"It's not a toomah!!"
you seem a little sensitive, for such an insensitive clod :P
Congratulations! You have lost!
cmon, it's not that hard to find a car in the GTA3 games :P
Here is another link to the Microsoft campus
that's okay, the Dragon chip will come back into style in another nine years. Will there be a market for retro chinese computing?
but only if the money is used to torture political dissidents

I was just going to mention them, I'm glad you did (as you seemed to have provided more info than I knew about)
R v B is hilarious, a great serial comedy, and i look forward to its progress
"tian wang-mo" as best i can tell ("sky network"). "Sky Net" itself would just be "tian wang"
thank YOU, zhongwen
