I've tried most of the graphical Windows clients and nothing beats The Bat for me. The filters are the real killer, especially filtering on groups into set folders with different notifications for each.
Thunderbird is almost there and I'm guessing sometime in the next year it'll be good enough for me to move to it.
The article suggested there was some firewall issues with this and I see this as a main step holding back videoconferencing.
My parents recently had broadband installed and I advised them to get an ADSL router with firewall (and wireless) built in like I'm using. I then realised we both also have digital cameras which double as webcams so why phone each other when we can videoconference for free! However, a little research and everything I found used H.323 and required a range of thousands of ports to be open which just isn't feasible on a port forwarding firewall.
Are there any single port videoconferencing apps available?

When this emergency does occur and dial-up is the only email fix available you'll have probably upgraded your system / reinstalled the OS since the modem was last used and, having lost the floppy years ago, realise that you can't just connect to a website to get the driver. D'oh!
Apologies, I didn't RTFA and jumped in with that one, I don't often get in after two comments and got a bit overexcited. But we were all thinking it.
The article does only cover the European Swallow, lazy researcher not bothering to find out the kinematic data for himself. Has he got more important things to do or something?
I saw a demo of a 3D monitor from Sharp around 1995/6 which tracked a reflective dot which you stuck between your eyes and then used some sort of polarising screen to send images from two different CRTs to each eye independently. It could be completely unrelated to this, but I just remember that it was Sharp so they've been researching 3D displays for a while. The tracking worked well and it looked really good but you probably wouldn't want to carry around a sheet of shiny dots with your laptop. It could just be fixed perspective.
Noticed this the other day, at the end of the episode where Lisa takes tap dancing lessons and Homer corrects Professor Frink that the self tapping shoe is quite clearly set to ON, Frink replies:
"I was merely trying to save the girl's feelings
you insensitive clod!"
Perhaps my favourite game is elastomania. It's got 18 levels for free (I soon registered) and it may not be for mac (Windows or BeOS). There's loads of fan sites with plenty of free levels as well. I had everyone playing it where I used to work and I've been looking for similarly simple but fun games since. If you think you're getting good at it, just check out the world records for the levels, some people seem to have dedicated their life to it.
It's actually a remake of Action Supercross, but I think it's pretty much a modern classic.
I have a dual Tyan m/b with two XP chips in it. It runs hot, but it's been calculating SETI@Home more or less 200% of the time since it was installed, about 3 months ago. No problems, and I think it would have found them by now:-)
Yeah, if a dual XP system can't find them aliens then nothing can!
How about encoding the message in an image, for example an attractive sporting personality, and then adding some vbs to forward it around making it look like spam? You wouldn't even have to send it to the recipient directly as they would receive it eventually by being forwarded on through the network of M$ Outlook routers. They'd never spot that!

OK, how about any torrents for the free low quality videos considering the current state of their server?

and the origin of that joke is...

At least now I can get email on my t610.

More research needed.

The winners will continue their research into superfluidity this evening, at the bar.

Other games I've found are PocoMan, Pontifex and Triptych
If anyone like these and has more similar suggestions then let me know!
