That's true. The sound didn't travel through space, the sound travelled through the body of the space station and the air contained within it, not the vacuum of space.
Well a version that old shouldn't be able to connect. The only reason it might be able to connect is if for some reason you're connecting to a bizarre server which for some reason hasn't been upgraded. Which you probably aren't.
I'm guessing that you've just not disconnected from MSN in the last 48 hours, and you're being a smartarse;)
The chat services probably had a bigger spam problem than Hotmail does. What with that and various dodgy news that surfaces all too often about Internet paedophelia, I'm not surprised that this didn't happen earlier.
As for Messenger, Gaim is updating to the newer MSN protocol (version 9?), and nobody is really sure how Microsoft will be going about blocking third party clients.
If they're really just blocking old protocols (which is what some of the messages MSN Messenger sends out suggest), up-to-date third party clients might do just fine.
I think I'm correct in saying further that London has the largest underground system in the world, and it holds up pretty well even when _really_ busy.

"I did'nt think sound travelled in space."

No, he said for "maximum stability", it should be turned off.
People who want preemption turned on will turn it on, and will happily live with 99% stability.
With that in mind, would you be able to sleep the night before if you were going up into space in one?
The chances of things going wrong can be lessened, but that's not to say space travel isn't a risky business.
Of course safety should be paramount.
But at what point do you call sending people up into the cold, dark vacuum of space by strapping them to a large rocket safe?
CAB's pretty old, it's been a while since I've used it.
The most heavily updated browser out there currently is: Highwire
It might have worked out better for CAUS if Peter wasn't such a geek ...not the /. kind of geek, the bad kind.
Where's your point?

I think MSN Protocol v.9 is the latest MSN version, and they're blocking anything from v.7 or before.
blackwing0013 is correct. Current versions of Gaim work. MSN Protocol v.9 was only implemented a couple of versions ago in Gaim (0.69, to be precise).
That's because your version of Gaim doesn't support MSN Protocol version 9.
Upgrade.
You're probably running an old version of Gaim if you're getting that message.
:)
MSN Protocol v9 has been supported for a version or two now.
I just tried my Gaim 0.70 here (haven't updated to 0.71 yet), and it works perfectly. And it's quite definately not the 15th any more
Bill looks crazy though, so naturally could play the Doctor.
It might get predictable after 6 episodes, but if he just did his crazy-eye-look every few minutes, he'd be a passable Doctor.
Subtle. Very subtle.
Unfortunately, I feel the joke may have already been lost on far too high a proportion of those that have already read your comment.

Though Prolog was around before C, I'm sure, so technically then Prolog should be C, and C should be P.
You aren't "a great many linux users", and he didn't specify you in particular.
I seem to recall hearing (long ago, and no, I don't have a link) that Keanu Reeves had signed up to do four films after the first Matrix film.
Of course, that was probably just a random rumour, and I'd think they'd be crazy to not finish the series off after the third film anyway.

Well, 13 minutes after your post. I should probably have looked at my time zone settings before posting. Never noticed I was an hour out before :)
"I don't normally do this, but as the site seems to be almost dead within the first three posts, I've duplicated the article content in this post."
... the site appears to be working just about perfectly here around an hour after you posted that.

There are many Windows also. They just aren't made by different people.
Junkyard Wars will never be the same as the original Scrapheap Challenge. JW doesn't have Rob Llewellyn (sp?) for one thing.
