You make it sound like it's not possible to download something more than 6.7 billion times. I imagine several web pages have been downloaded (viewed) over ten billion times.
I don't see anywhere that they are equating downloads to users.
Adium is open source but Mac only (based on libpurple). meebo isn't open source, but is also based on libgaim (now libpurple). Finch is Pidgin for the console. And then there's always the possibilities of using Jabber with a transport or using Bitlbee.
The Pepper Pad 3 isn't quite there with video messing or VoIP, but it might be adaptable. It's Linux-based, which is nice (even though it is Fedora Core 4 based).
Wait, you're complaining about Gaim 2? There's no such version. That's a beta build you're showing. Furthermore, Gaim was not a Gnome application. Gaim was (and Pidgin is) a GTK application, but not Gnome.
I can agree that GTK looks bad on Windows. However, the WIMP theme for GTK makes things look more Windows-like. Pidgin also looks nicer than Gaim did, especially in the buddy list.
Unfortunately, IE is still used in Outlook, Outlook Express, and Windows Help, among other places. While your fix is good enough for most cases, vulnerabilities can often be exploited in other programs that use the IE controls to render HTML.
When I used to use Firefox nightlies from the trunk, it used absolutely tons of memory. I had it up to 1.3gb (no flash, no Java) in a few hours on my box with 512mb of memory. The amazing thing is that it still was responsive enough to use.
I realize that FF2 has different code in some places, but I can't imagine it being unusably slow on a computer faster than mine.
The DS doesn't have a stationary console counterpart yet, so it's possible that Nintendo will release something for the Wii that lets the DS show the screens on TV and use the DS as the controller. They could also use the Wiimote to emulate the DS stylus.
This is just wild speculation, though, so don't take this seriously.
Exactly. It's all how you type. From my experience, if you don't type in shorthand, it's possible that you will start typing faster. I found it funny how I could type and send my message faster in correct English than someone who was typing in shorthand.
Other companies use that loophole, too. I remember receiving some 8mb memory sticks when ordering some NAV, with a sticker on it saying that it was my "OEM hardware" and was "required to be shipped with the software".
At least he got something usable in a computer from this century.
I'm still in high school, and I use TI-Basic somewhat often (my Precalc class hates me for that). I also know a good part of Perl. I've known HTML (though it's not programming), and can decipher Javascript and PHP if I need to. Surprisingly, my girlfriend knows some HTML, and I taught another one of my friends some basic HTML.
Yes, we still program, just not as much as in the past.

You don't have to answer the phone when someone calls you. With SMS, you cannot reject it to save money.
Bon Echo is the Firefox 2 code name for alpha/beta releases, just like Deer Park was Firefox 1.5's code name.

Considering that Browzar requires IE, I think it's safe to say that it's exactly like Internet Explorer.

The only 100% filter is to be surfing with the kid.
We're not talking about guilty people. We're talking about innocent ones who were falsely imprisoned.
Try to play with an Alpha Centauri install on Windows. I recall reading that only Play By Email would work between the two.
Slashback still exists, and even had an Slashback in it last night.. Backslash is a new recapping section that has mixed reviews.

Opera 9 isn't in beta.
I'm using Gaim 2 Beta 2 (too lazy to get Beta 3), and I've recieved some from a MSN user. So they are supported somewhat.
Position Is Everything features CSS bugs from all modern browsers, though it mainly focuses on IE.
The close button disappears if you have too many tabs. For me, the close button disappears with nine or more tabs, but it's browser width dependant.

Perl can run on Windows: http://activestate.com/Products/Download/Download. plex?id=ActivePerl
Firefox is a GTK app, though. So it's closer to Gnome than KDE in that respect.
Don't forget that Google now logs Google Talk chats in Gmail.
It's only a contraction if you take out letters.
