Time to repeat my subject: Somebody actually gets it? HOW CAN THIS BE?!?!?!
If I were in a business situation, I would set up an Asterisk server and get all my employees an account in a heartbeat. Then I give them the COMPLETELY FREE AND OPEN CHOICE of absolutely any SIP compatible client (and there are tons available to be honest). Or invest in a bunch of SIP hardware phones.
In the personal situation, I currently use Gizmo Project. Easy simple and free.
Am I missing something here? How can someone patent something that is not theirs.
Surely you can't patent a discovery, but you can be credited. Not to mention they discovered something that (nearly) every human being has (more living organisms too?), and was not given to them by anyone person on this earth. (Hey, "God is one of us" zealots, SHUT IT)
1) This feature has existed in Y! Messenger for ages. It is new only to MSN because of MSN/Y! linking their clients (see story one day back). 2) I absolutely DO NOT WANT THIS FEATURE IN MY IM CLIENT. It's unproductive, it's retarded, and I don't want my window position to be subject to someone else's 'keen sense' of clicking a 'special button'.
I know the point of this is that without these 'special features' the Open Source World and Operating Systems look increasingly bland, but come on now.
The real bottom line is that you use the tools you need to accomplish whatever you need. I use gaim for everything but Jabber (PSI for Jabber.o/), and I can easily keep in touch with all of my friends, without the bells and whistles. It's an *instant messaging client* and it works for exactly that.
As an aside, I tried out AIM Triton on a Windows box I use for gaming. Impressive? Sure. Prettier than before? Very. However, I am now bothered about privacy problems with 'Plaxo' and I have ANOTHER crappy Web Browser installed.

The more choice you give a person, The more they'll open up to you and those similar to you.
They can "steal" (omgz!) anyone of your tracks and listen to it. Then they wind up liking it, and the style/genre/whatever.
They buy your album, and suggested "similar artists". But they stole one of your tracks, damn! I just made money off someone, but they stole from me first! How dare they!
If I understand correctly, this is like a cross site scripting (XSS) attack? But a malicious web designer can put a master frame with his code, and just put something inside like paypal?
Interesting. I have a dedicated profile set up specifically for private accessing (yes, I'm paranoid:P). I wonder how Firefox handles multi profiles, and multiple windows...
It can also provide you with the most frustrating experience ever!
Not entirely, but some broken packages (or installing one that breaks another) is probably the bane of most administrators existence...
This is why a source hybrid (ala. gentoo) system works so well. You compile from source (reaping all the benefits) but something else manages dependancies, conflicts,./configure options, and installation in general.
(For the record, I used Linux From Scratch 5.0, I built my base system, then stopped before I had an x server or anything [also known as, Beyond LFS]. )

It may have been already said...
But what happened to Black Dog Linux which does exactly this?

Why don't they outlaw WEP "secured" access points?
WEP Crack makes short work of any non-WPA protected wireless access point.
"Users running 1.5 beta should have already received notice via an automated update dialogue box."
And I did, and it was good.
And updated!
"Would it be so hard to say that you only use the administrator account for installing shared (amongst all local users) software?"
Yes it would.
Why?
Why do you need two accounts for a single user?
It's not the client as much as the OS.
.com file extension.
PSI/Windows can be easily compromised by sending a user to an "image" with a
PSI/Linux cannot.
This is an upside to OpenID.
Nicknames can clash, doesn't matter.
Because domain names won't.
Yes, I realize this won't make a difference with WoW, but on the subject of 'identity' in the rest of the web world, this is very applicable.
Their pretentious webhost took them down to avoid the traffic hit.

Perhaps I should have said species-ist?
Note the "race-ist" not racist.

Who needs logins now?
Suite will be EOL'ed, but security patches are still being applied.
IIRC 1.x is feature frozen, but still 'active'.
It does work, just not for you.
It HAS to be in a new Window, period.
If you never have a second window, fret not, and don't be concerned about the vulnerability. It doesn't apply to multiple tabs, only windows.

This was supposed to have happened already, so here's hoping things get off the ground this time.
