For everyone with broadband connections and a QuickCam(TM) type camera, what can be used as a free solution to video conference with friends, family, the mistress next door, etc.
So far I can think of the links below, WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE? ESPECIALLY OPEN SOURCE!
Yahoo Super Webcam for broadband users.

So far its been the normal shitty stories and repeat posts. Does anyone know if Slashdot is gonna do any funny/fictitious postings like other sites are doing for April Fools Day?

...would mean that scientists who need to measure very short times, such as the life of Quarks after a collision in a particle accelerator, should use "Maxtor Hard Drive MTBF" units.
Thanks... I know. Many times what I see as fun dry sarcasm (the false naivety of not knowing the GNU logo, as reflected in my original post) gets across as simply idiotic. That's the risk I take when I type first and think second, maybe?
As much as I love GNU/FSF and enjoy the fruits of their labor, I think that in the real world, acceptance by companies and customers and clients el. al. involves MARKETING. And as far as that goes, IMHO the GNU logo is rather; well, to risk karma+life... ugly. Just my opinion.
I own a small biz. I don't have $500 to throw into it for a one year membership, but I plan to soon (yes, I really do plan on joining, and the link will find it's way into my.sig). But I won't put that FSF logo on my home page as much as I would have likes to. I coded my site and did all my graphics and the simple yet crisp look of the page IMO is sweet. But! Putting that GNU head on my front page is not going to happen, as much as I'd like to have bragged to friends+clients about supporting the FSF (as a geek, it is sure to get me bragging rights over a beer with friends). Maybe IBM and the other members might feel the same way? I could imagine a nice little logo making it's way onto IBM's front page, but someone their size is sure to not want that "Boars Head(TM) Roast Beef Sold Here Fresh Daily" logo.
Maybe www.fark.com can help in creating a new logo? Using Gimp, of course.
... that logo has to go. The cow/bull/devil/whatever logo of GNU/FSF, etc is horrific. IMHO it looks like a doodle you would find on the back of a Junior Highschool student's notebook. What company wants to have a laughing cow on a front page? At least have something that would look pleasant (yes, I know, that's relative) so companies can proudly have it on their site.
If I am forced to pay for things you think I plan to steal, then I should have every right to take those things because it is now paid for and no longer theft.
Being a New Yorker, I am so very glad that: "62.5 grams. That's the largest amount of propellant a single model rocket engine can have in it and still be exempt from a new set of federal rules".
Because now it is impossible for a Terrorist or Open Source contributor to make any weapons! I mean shit, to get 125 grams of powder you would have to cut open two tubes, and that's like, harder than hell to do. Thank you, my precious Government, I will sleep soundly tonight.
Back when TV's were 4 inches accross and black and white, a nine digit number was "good enough" security in a slow and analog world. In modern times the entire idea of using JUST A BUNCH OF NUMBERS as ID is INSANE. And isn't it illegal to use S.S. numbers as a form of ID in the states?
...if it doesn't run on a Mac or Linux, does that show favoritism by the Gov for a company found guilty of abusing its monopolostic position? I would think the Gov would put out something platform neutral. Javascript, flash, or better yet Java plugin.
My trouble is that a great phone comes out, and only AT&T, or Cingular, et. al. provide service for the phone and the initial discount. SUCKS. At least here in New York City and Long Island NY (USA) nothing beats Verizon, but all the cool phones are Sprint or Cingular (which both, to be technical, suck nuts).
great! please tell me how to back up to CD or DVD 90 gigabytes of data daily. or better yet the 1.2 Terabyte SQL database I have or how about the 20 terabytes of video files the master video database has here...
If you can't stop everyone from smoking weed, snorting coke, and dropping E, you can't stop MP3 sharing (and U.S. spends BILLIONS trying to stop those drugs).

And I just realized I'm replying to an AC post but hopefully someone will help me out over here!
Oh well.
IMO the BEST chat prog for Windoze. Oh, and the "normal" version is FREE.
Dude, that is a LOT of porn.
