Try MSN 7.5 with mess.be patch and MSGPlus!

Ability to accept or decline others from adding you to their buddy lists. - Tick!
AIM - Ability to set auto-reply messages. - Tick
Direct connect for quicker file transfers. - Nope (afaik)
Yahoo! - Ability to send messages to people that are offline that they will receive next time they sign on. - Tick!
Ability to go invisible. - Tick!
encryption stuff - encrypted chat logs is a start... Also get rid of all the ads and the bloat, add a nice transparency effect. sorted.

I met the curator

On: Gigapixel Tapestries & Gigadecimal Pi

I met the chap in charge of tapestries at the Met. He was very nice, but I just couldn't quite understand his passion for the medium. Some of them were rather nice, but I'd much rather have been in the Met's excellent old-master or C20 galleries.

Still, I love the way the author describes him as 'thoughtful'.

3) Shows like Southpark are not mentioned. Why? Probably because they realize southpark would make a show about them and tear their organization to shreds in the minds of most teenagers, so they ignore it.
