  1. Re:Feature on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1
    However, how cool would it be if you could "save your chat history" or even a specific conversation to a "GIM Chats" label in your Gmail account, which you can then access and search like any other gmail "conversation?


    I don't recall the name, but I believe some company attempted to do this via setting them as a proxy in AIM.

    Everyone freaked, and I never heard about it again.
  2. Re:It's real: it's a Jabber server! on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1
    This time is not a rumor!

    Try it for yourself. Send a string like:

    <stream:stream to='talk.google.com' xmlns='jabber:client' xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams'>

    to talk.google.com, port 5222. It will respond with a valid RFC 3920 [faqs.org] (Jabber) stream!


    This means nothing. I can set up a Jabber server at home on some domain and tomorrow swap the DNS to point to some other machine on the network running nothing at all.

    it's about damn time. not that my mom knows who paul thurrott is

    on a completely related note, i'm composing this from ie7 on vista beta 1 (i'm forcing my self to use it for at least a week).

    it's not entirely trash, just mostly. it really doesn't have anything to offer me as a current firefox user. the tabs are nice (ctrl+t works), and so is the search bar (ctrl+k doens't). i keep reaching towards the back/forward buttons to find the refresh/stop button, but it decided to move to the other side of the screen

    beyond that, i haven't noticed a great deal of anything different, including support for standards

  19. Re:no more ie7 tab news! on More Details on IE7 Tabs · · Score: 4, Informative

    for those interested to know more about support for application/xhtml+xml mime type, let me sum it up for you:

    basically, every time something loads in your browser, several headers are sent before the content, letting the browser know what to do with it. this is how it knows to display web pages in the viewport versus downloading compressed files. specifically, xhtml pages are to be served to the browser as application/xhtml+xml. now, for xhtml 1.0, you MAY serve them as the old html4.0 way (text/html), but you SHOULD use the newer way.

    xhtml1.1 doesn't allow such a variance. they SHOULD be served as application/xhtml+xml (the alternative being application/xml which would be interpreted as a straight xml file)... except IE doesn't support such a mime type, thus making it IMPOSSIBLE to correctly serve a xhtml1.1 document to any IE browser. this has severly limited the ability for the web to transform to support documents within several namespaces (such as xhtml, mathml, svg all integrated into a single web page)

    for more info, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types/

    stick that in your pipe and smoke it microsoft

  21. for hardware... on Creating a High-Tech Meeting/Conference Room? · · Score: 1

    In my college (not entire university), we have every classroom equipped with the following:

    PC with gyromouse
    Touchscreen input control panel (this controls light levels, projector screen, input devices [computer, dvd, vcr, aux, doc cam {audio and video}])
    projector
    racks of input devices (dvd, vcr, tape, aux inputs [such as vga, rca, etc])

    along with a university internet connection and general software, this has served all purposes just fine. given this setup, you only need to ensure you have software for remote meetings (no clue for that)

    The FA is basically a flame on Ben Goodger's comments. It's much akin to a puerile 16 year old making comments to piss everyone off (oh shit - I must have just insulted a large demographic of OSDN!)

  25. Conflict of interest on Over Half a Million Bank Accounts Breached · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Customer account numbers and balances were allegedly sold to a man who then sold the information to collection agencies, the Hackensack police department said in a statement. Reuters reports that the information has not been found to have been used in any identity theft schemes.

    /snip/

    The case has led to criminal charges against nine people, including seven bank employees and alleged ring leader Orazio Lembo, who operated DRL Associates, a company that advertised as a skip-and-trace collection agency.


    Hmmm... working for a bank and a "collection agency". Sounds like a conflict of interest banks might want to look out for and possibly stipulate that working for a collection agency is not permitted while working for a financial institution.
