Sorry to be so offensive, Anon, but ICQ is a very sucky program. There are UI inconsistencies aplenty and the whole program's too bloated (22M from ICQ2000 since I last used it) just to send messages.
But you're right, though, but what's the point of downloading a different client that won't utilise the existing networks 100% and will be less stable? I've talked to someone using gaim and that seems to crash at times, (and for comparison, iChat screws up when sending images). AIM itself is extremely stable, and works.
Since the code's open though, shouldn't this still be a benefit since you are able to scrutinize 'good-enough' code sections and fix and improve them? And you already have a large codebase to start and improve from?
That's your opinion of it. Any new programming language looks "incomprehensible" once you begin to learn it, and once you've got the hang of the nuances of the language it becomes clearer. Calling PostScript "primitive" is a joke as well. Learn about the language. Read the PS Language Reference. Look at some of its more complex features.
Saying that women are sexual is ambiguous (and men are not sexual??) in that you're implying that women are *only* sexual. What the author of the article is saying that these games rely only on the sexual aspects of the women portrayed and nothing else!

Mathworld is an indispensible resource for anyone who relies on mathematics! The site's of exceeding quality and is extremely complete.

ICQ is really a *horridly* written program. Thankfully now I won't have to actually install it to message ICQ users!

The sad thing is, I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not.

Only 6 issues...thought such a marketing campaign would have kept the comics rolling...
