P2P Roaming Chat

I used to use MUDs as chat systems when I wasn't up to adventuring. This looks like a P2P graphical version of the same thing. Except I never imagined the MUD rooms like scenes from Blue's Clues.:)
I really enjoyed "Take the Canoli", but as good as Sarah's writing is, it's even better to hear her read her work. Try to catch her on
This American Life or somewhere else on NPR.
Hasn't MS claimed for years that it doesn't have secret APIs that only MS developers get access to?
I heard somewhere that the MS way of developing software is to have multiple competing teams working on the same project. The developers don't document much of their code, for fear that another Microsoft development team will take and use their code, and then they don't get the honor of being on the "Flaky Product" development team. There's no I in team, but there is in API.
My dad is a psychologist, and he had a similar
"game" than ran on a Commodore 64. You put your
hand on this thing that looked like a mouse with
metal buttons. The buttons presumably measured the galvanic skin response. On the screen was a first-person view of a hallway. The more relaxed you became, the faster you went down the hallway. (OK, so it wan't Half-Life, but it was a fun relaxation tool.)
The programmer for our little company fancies himself as a bit of an entrepreneur. He became an Herbalife distributor, and he had his assistant
make a ton of those "lose weight" and "make money" signs. Before they had a chance to spam their neighborhoods, they got a memo from Herbalife telling them not to post any more signs. There's a huge box of mystery marketing signs rotting away in our warehouse right now.:)
One smashed through the middle of downtown Fort Worth, Texas - right past a camera on top of a large office building *live* during the six o'clock news.
See it here. I would just deploy a
large number of cameras, and play anoymous coward during the storm.

I think Trinity can fly that helicopter...she just needs the plugin.
Yes, but "Tamper Resistant" Linux just doesn't give the marketing department much to go on.
I did have one teacher in high school who would let you play games that you wrote.
Isn't that what the `emerge united-linux` command will be for?
I think that's what the 'make' command is for.
I'd better start training now if I want to win some deathmatches.
The only practical scenario I can think of is to be able to say "See, we do need a firewall for our network" to your PHB after it gets compromised.
Micro$oft, although they write their fair share, isn't the only company that writes bad code.
Unfortunately, they write their fair share plus my fair share, and your fair share....
Most schools have a PTA, maybe it's time they have a LUG too. :)

I hoped it might go something like this:
Clippy>> "It looks like your writing a.... Oh, erm. Never mind". (*Clippy looks terrified and runs off-screen.*)
You>> "THAT'S RIGHT CLIPPY! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!"
Hey, that could be fun.
So I guess that Word 97 uses a copy collector?
How would the advertisers feel if no one had ANY links to dallasnews.com? (Although, that may make ads cheaper, if not useless).
I wonder if this technology would be extended to the private consumer level?
Um, isn't this called Lojack?

Hmmm... I might be able to convince our accounting department to pay for an advertising story linked to our competitor's web site.

Maybe Warwick can tell when the Green Goblin is about to hurl a pumpkin-bomb at him.
Eliza?
The tornados will find you. Trust me.
