You are responsible for controlling access to your resources. You can held responsible for damages as a result of failing to secure your property (ie internet connection). Just as an angry mother can sue a skate park if a kid falls, cracks open his head, so can the copyright owner sue you for providing the means for other people to download copyrighted material.
So sure, share your that WAP all you want, but don't be surprised if you get arrested for what someone else does on it.
Really? Slavery is unacceptable because all people are created equal, and no man can possess another man. That doesn't exactly support "liberating software." Do you feel that it is an inherit right of software to not be enslaved? Then, do all of the Bill of Rights apply to software? Freedom of speech, right to bear arms, right to assemble peacefully? Would you bring chargest against software for inciting a riot? How would you interrogate it?
If something that minor bugs you, you'll love Linux. Going with "Free" means you also have to quit having a working copy & paste. Also, only Nvidia cards work under Linux. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
No, the tool won't "run into difficulties." It works on HTTPMail, not by doing web scraping. It has not been updated in two years, not for lack of interest, but because it was well-designed.
Talk about living in your own world. Yep. You're right, no one uses MSN Messenger. It's just pre-installed on every Windows XP machine ever sold, and accounts are given with every Hotmail and passport account.
Yes, that's definitely the idea. Please look at some sample packets if you'd like to help, http://www.chipx86.com/msnp9. Its definitely not as simple as just looking at it and deciphering. And yes you're right, SSL is not the problem. You can use Ethereal to just dump everything. But look at those packets. Previous versions of MSNP were designed to be human readable, with commands like MSG, BYE, LST, etc. Much of the P2P stuff is binary. And it's not about security, its about figuring out (like you said) which part of the packet does what. And how its encoded, what it represents, etc.
First, there are no devs of Trillian speaking in there, only forum moderators who are not involved in the development of the program, only support in the forums. And the MSN Messenger protocol is independent of the connecting client (ie, client version does not represent the protocol version). MSN Messenger 6.0 uses MSNP6, which has not currently been figured out by GAIM or Trillian. Trillian 0.74 and 1.0 Pro currently use MSNP5, and starting at MSNP7 there was a completly new authentication system (SSL). You can see one Gaim dev's captures here.
And After MSNP8 there is an interesting new P2P system. In short, there is a lot that has to be done before this deadline. It is possible (but unlikely) that Microsoft will help third parties (they did originally release the specs to MSNP2, and have helped Trillian in the past), but I believe it is unlikely considering they have not released any of the sucessive versions of the protocol until now.

You're right, they should stick with the proven open source solution.

Do you work for the mob?
Gee, I see two everyday.
were you hitting on her?
Yes, Java programmers wouldn't want to be inefficient with all that overhead that an IDE imposes.

constant crashing, lol.
This isn't some open source company, Apple doesn't use its customers as guinea pigs.
Ugh, the clueless world of non free. It only gets worse.
It's great that you have found the road to true enlightenment, open source.
Thank you for sharing. I find your theories very interesting, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Don't forget the stupid people who reply to trolls.
Plus, the butt sex is better.

Are you the one who screwed up the VM?
Songs to ogg does not mean mp3s to ogg, tard.
So why do they continue using FAT32 if so many superior "file systems" are available?
I have heard rumors that you "can the man ham." Can you shed any light on these accusations?
It's Slashdot, it's just plain stupidity.

Linux is dying!
