Oh, I forgot to mention: It’s wrong that ICQ is mostly dead. It’s mostly dead where you live. But luckily far from it everywhere else.:) I know children and teens who use ICQ. Some weren’t even alive when ICQ started. But it comes down to if their older friends and family used ICQ back then.
Also: Jabber is now called XMPP, as far as I know. (I would have preferred it to be lightweight EBML instead of overhead monster XML.)
ICQ assumes multi-line messages. (No "send-on-enter" crap.)
Most clients allow you to configure Ctrl-Enter as submit shortcut. Then enter does create new lines. Or if not possible, you can use Ctrl-Enter for multi-line messages, and Enter to submit. But it's hard and annoying. And obviously, MSN is the exception, as its users would not have the mental capacity to imagine wanting something like that in the first place.
But unfortunately, this does not protect you from the retards who lol write their;))) messages like this lol inlucidng no puntcuatin ro preppr spelng.
Luckily, there still is per-user invisibility and ignore lists.:)
Because I can’t stand MSN/WLM because I know the MS-typical monopolistic plans behind it (having it pre-installed with Windows, just like IE), and consider people who willingly use that messenger as their main messenger subhumans on the brink of surrealism. But of course, I use a non-native client. (Right now Kopete, but I also used Trillian and Miranda, and often recommend Pidgin to the simpler and more passive types of people that I know.)
If I switch, then there is only one choice: XMPP. An open multi-server protocol.
Is it true that that MSN pestilence is used that much in the US?
Don’ you get it? By hiding away the child porn, you don’t stop the CP from being created! No, you actually only conceal it, and thereby protect it.
So this filter is actually making those “politicians” pro-child-porn. And ” unknowingly or not — you too. It does nothing to stop the child abuse (*hinthint* original point *hinthint*) from being done! Zero.
But hey, that’s what you get from a culture of people who take painkillers and other problem-ignorers / symptom-treaters, instead of actually... you know... learn to prevent the problem in the first place! (Ohh, but that’s hard, and nobody can make a profit from it...? Cry me a river. Or and fuck the motherfuckers!;)
There is a beautiful quote about this from a fellow Slashdotter:
“Whenever a controversial law is proposed, and its supporters, when confronted with an egregious abuse it would permit, use a phrase along the lines of 'Perhaps in theory, but the law would never be applied in that way' - they're ''lying''. They intend to use the law that way as early and as often as possible.” — meringuoid (568297) @ 2005-11-24 16:40 (#14107454)
Why do we hire a government for years anyway? It should be like a job: First a probation period of 6 months, where it requires only a certain amount of people to sign to get them out of office. (Motto: Let’s see if they keep their promises!) Then there is an increasing firing delay (with an upper limit), to model trust and forgiving small errors [they’re only human after all]). But for both sides. (So a politician can’t just “step down”, and hence will be much more wary before doing something that could have him stay in office for weeks while getting the full attention and hatred back. And so we can find another one without having anarchy in the meantime.)
But hey. In my opinion, government is still a monopoly. And monopolies are bad. So we should have competition of parallel governments in one country. Just how this would work is still a bit hard to come up with.:/
Aerogel* is also only 2% silica and 98% air. Doesn’t mean it’s made out of air. This is a material out of clay, that can bind lots of water. Just like aerogel binds lots of air.

Now that Apple is the new Microsoft {big, evil, power-greedy, corporation}, this is an expected dick move.
I wonder what could even be the advantage here for Jobs? I mean what does he have to gain from this? Because even a control-freak has a inner purpose and logic that he bases his actions on, doesn’t he?
But you hid the catch: It does not work without lots of water or the proper composition of chemicals at the construction site. Which it uses up, so you can’t do it forever. And creating electricity from it is extremely inefficient. Also it takes lots of space.
Ok, then let’s all count our data rate in “Internets” or ”LoC per adpd (average donkey pooping duration)”, and let the point float freely between 0.00000000001 and 100000000.0.
Because according to you, units are clearly pointless, as it’s all in the context, correct?
I just wish every day Joe and Jane understood the slippery slope that is censorship.
The problem is, that you are attacking with nice and proper logic. While they attack the deepest and oldest fears. And most people are extremely bad at handling their inner weaker self (the emotional brain).
Unless you learn to communicate on the emotional level to a mass of people, you can’t win this one. Unfortunately, geeks are notoriously bad at this. (Because being male and good in logic is a natural antagonist.) But we can become very good at it, if we stop thinking that it would be “unmanly” or telling ourselves we wouldn’t be able to do it. (Hey, power is never unmanly, so lay off the false social conditioning.:)
So your argument is: “Last time they raped us a lot, but this time they promised to rape us less than who is currently raping us, so: Vote for them!”
Honestly: How fuckin’ stupid are you? You know exactly that as soon as they have won, the’ll fuck you over majorly. Because it happened every single time before. Yet weirdly, by the end of the next term, you have conveniently forgotten that, and believe the new set of lies. How about voting for... you know... neither of the two?
Actually, most stupid people are more like cattle. It’s the smart people who control them that you want to fight. (The best way to do this, is to, yourself, control them. So get your mind hacking / social engineering / rhetorics / mass psychology skills up to speed. ^^)
If you compare them on the global phone market, Nokia is the blue whale, Samsung is the sperm whale, Apple is a tuna, RIM is a bigger shark, and Google is a sardine.;)

Hmm, GHC (Haskell’s compiler) has a project to make it compile on ARM. I heard that they are already pretty far.

I never got the point of an “app store” anyway. I guess that’s because I’m used to that very old concept of PACKAGE MANAGERS! ;)
