AIM, just like AOL's browser, has just been getting worse and worse with each new version. Although I don't use AOL I've seen the latest version they have, it's awful. With every new version they add more bloat, and more ads.
I recently got my circle of friends to change from using AIM to Skype, it even has IM functions for the few people who don't have a mic.
I still have Gaim installed, but I rarely use it now.
You just pointed out the main reason why OSS with it's current do it yourself, elitist attitude will never be able to make much headway into main stream usage.
Without a central figure you get what Linux is now, dozens of fractured distros catering to niche groups.
The plan for OSS for this decade should be consolidation. Without a central authority it will continue to fail and fracture.
Mod me a troll or flamebait if you like, but you know what I'm saying is true. The OSS movement has a lot of potential, it's a shame that's it's being wasted by pride and zealotry.
And why is that a bad thing? Doesn't the GPL use existing law to try and enforce the intent of copyright, while copyright law in general has become too twisted and meaningless to be useful?
The whole system is b0rked. If the record companies didn't control the distribution outlets, artists wouldn't have to sign, then they would be free to choose how their music is distributed.
An eternity in hell is still an eternity of existence. For someone who truly fears death, NOT going to hell would be worse than eternal punishment because the person fears non-existence most of all.
It's not that the ban system is buggy, it's that there is no ban system. They simply see if you tried to use an invalid key and ban all your games, not just the offending title.
Yeah you missed the part where hundreds of people are being banned for no reason, or because they used a No-CD crack, or tried (unsuccessfully) to use a banned CD key.
Hundreds of people are being ripped off and there are a lot of people defending it, it sickens me.
Come on mods, this is ridiculous! I've seen 3 post modded down because the person said something unfavorable about this game, what the fuck is the matter with you retards? Under no definition was he trolling.
Too many damn MS fan boys with mod points these days.
Anyone catch CNN around 7:00PM-7:30PM? A guy was standing outside of the window, behind the hosts, his shirt had written on it, "Fuck This Shit" all clearly visible for a good 15 seconds before they cut away. Then, they went back to the same shot with him in it!
Bravo, it's a shame you were modded down, you're speaking the truth.
If I had mod points (damn, used them yesterday) you would be modded insightful. It's too bad so many people are blinded by their political correctness to see the truth.

Bittorrent itself is safe. Sites like suprnova.org may not be.
fluid-damped, mutually exciting, pair-coupled oscillators.
Reading that gave me as much entertainment as I had from the ages of 1 to 19.
Or maybe I'm just being irrational.
But this one says 2006!
Unfortunately, people will still buy them. Too bad more people don't realize that it's the same game!
1) Wow, six hours! No one will ever use that much. Sorry that's still not enough, at least for me.
2)You can by a spare SP battery.
Oops, are you a troll?

There are actually people who believe that OSX gets less problems because it's more secure? Or maybe security through obscurity is Apple's plan.
Nice troll attempt, but you fail it.
Sorry, I'd like all my games and programs to still work.

Yeah, because if we had technology so great to over come mortality, we certainly wouldn't be able to solve that tricky problem.

I refuse to accept that, and I'll continue living my life ignoring anything that says otherwise.
Good job sir, a fine troll.
So did I, but I still got banned. Havn't got my account turned back on yet either.
Is that justice?

Yeah, like how I learned that when I buy a legit copy and follow all the rules I still get wrongfully punished by Valve's anti-piracy dragnet?

And yet he still wont care that it's not 100% accurate.

We say the same thing about the warm sludge you drink, so I think it's just a matter of perspective.
Oh yeah, 15$ a month is a king's ransom! This new business model will never get off the ground.
Great troll sir, I tip my hat to you.
