er... drop to desktop? no, never. On all ICQ'es, if you select anything else than "online" or "free for chat", ICQ supresses alerts and opening windows.
While, I was lucky enough to see new messages coming to me from MSN while playing Quake III! Yes, you heard right, god damn messages IN Quake III. Even setting as "Busy" didn't work. Damn things still appear. Thats right, its a clean program BECAUSE it is lacking many,many features.
ICQ Lite could be an option for all, its ICQ with all "bloat" removed. Has been a bit late but AOL/ICQ has finally listened their users.
If you like to have an IM but if you hate AOL, get Yahoo messanger. Has all the features MSN is missing like offline messaging
Isn't it interesting especially when Linux users bitch about Realplayer which is only a standalone application?
Heh if I was the guy coded native realplayer for Linux and saw Slashdot clueless posts, I would be seriously in doubt.
-"Real sux" -"Er, I plan to install linux sometime,what will I do when Real sinks?" -"Install wine, install xyz cvs, pay to some site... and listen to windows media.. Since Microsoft didn't give a fuck about your platform"
Bitching about Real has been a good karma whoring sports lately on slashdot, anyone figures?
I have it and installed it by my own will, like 80% of net streaming still uses it.
My reason was sound quality, its highly subjective matter I know but I found Real sounds better than Windows Media.
Oh and its ages ahead of Windows Media by embedded flash content,Dynamic updating XML stuff (like now Playing:) also one of the reasons I prefer it is, being multiplatform.
One other reason, on every story about Real, someone like you pops up (I bet there are spyware etc stuff below) and makes me want to use it more.
About the "evil spyware stuff" (!), er... from its options, turn "allow automatic services when player is running only" ON. Damned...:) Oh, on next step (spyware war), launch windows media player, and check "send player GUID" OFF... Better check it weekly, because innocent, cool windows media somehow likes to turn it ON on every update.
than dual boot to Windows to watch a streaming windows media or.. use some sort of emulator (oh,not emulator,wine) to watch while Real was kind enough to code a application for your favorite platform.
Oh don't forget to call Real "spyware" over and over while its just a standalone application on Linux...
Oh, bite me...
"You must first log into passport to use MSN Music"
"You must first log into passport to use Windows Media".... coming soon or later.:))
No don't be tricked. Its the same formula for mail spam too... Do you think Spammers believe every single receiver/victim will read their crap and buy that product/service?
Spam is cheap, as far as what I have read. More people filtering it without sending abuse reports. Will just increase amount of spam since people who are clueless/non techie is their target.

ahem, better change your forged e-mail address than:)
Besides jokes, best way to fight with spam is fight it, via free services like spamcop.net.
You of course can send your own spam reports but believe spammers use advanced tricks over and over, even hex IP's included!
While reading this crap which verifies itself that its ideas about slashdot are crap itself...
I have an idea...
What about banning those AC's IPs/Subnets from Slashdot? I mean the guys sending this crap post? It will be good for them too, than their wonderful bitching will have an excuse.:)
If you are that much mad about those, dear moron AC flooders, why don't you dare to post via your own nick? Why are YOU reading/wasting your bandwidth with Slashdot than anyway?
All those features (well, at least,lyrics,album cover,info) were in Liquid Audio which was automatically added to Realplayer as a plugin. (300k or something) You can remember it if you ever listened to "old yahoo" samples. They were using it.
Some strange thing happened, some "samples" started to have liquid audio domain but indeed,they were "drm'ed" windows media audio files...
Now I see no Liquid Audio files at all.
Oh,btw, for curious, yea, it has some sort of an evil anti-piracy (drm etc) feature too.
Who "ate" them really?:)
I mean,those guys re-invent something which is already invented and if you ask my suggestion, I 'd go for emusic.com.

So, I can understand how many fascist assholes use slashdot. Ah, Taco.... Make my "karma" -2000, who fucking cares?
I don't like to be on userbase neighbouring such fascists anyway.
haha marked off topic? I am happy to be marked off topic with you too...
Fucking fascists...
And you can figure what means to be blind... God damn morons...
"And FYI, the purpose of the laser is to attack electronics targets not to blind civilians. "
hahah as it just happened in WW2, wake UP!
" I've yet to meet anyone in the real world that uses it, yet I have plenty of people on all 4 of the other services on my list in Trillian"

Its kinda different. Jabber is a real good protocol itself, shows others in stoneage if you look closely.
I check jabber.com, they are more focused in corparate instant messaging now. Oh, and that client they coded... No comments

note that, "run dll as an app" is used widely by Spyware companies... Since it has given access already.
I wish the same for the losers designed that platform too.
You know the plans about XBox right?
What can I say more? Guy isn't stupid or drunk, he just wants Palladium (or how its spelled)
"sign all communications with activesomthing so this won't happen"
One word... Timing...
Don't say they didn't disable it than?
Just imagine Microsoft does same thing on upcoming(?) IE 7 beta... It would be a Slashdot story itself. No no, web news would have an earthquake!
Oh yea, mod me down, I am also k-lined from mozilla.org IRC which I have NEVER joined...
You must hate Real to be 133t.

I just mention 2 countries, I have seen lots of "accounts disabled already" because I use that site everyday.
Oh, those 2 countries, especially Korea, yeap... I sadly agree.
But If you use the service, there you can see other 100+ countries too... They generally do something about it.

This is the 30'th story I figure this crap.

Those nicks... No wonder they are the ones found "Ogg" name *g*
Besides jokes, congratulations! Sounds great!
haha come on,laugh, it was funny...
er... said 13echo *g*
Go and check Realvideo 9, be ashamed... be VERY ashamed.
Especially check 56K speed demos...
"That's some guy saying "I fucked up some settings on my computer and it started working right when I fixed them."
If you will bitch, don't bitch under AC.
NO, windows doesn'T come with those settings by default. Its a KNOWN fact... Fresh install windows, you will get stupid RWIN, MTU settings.
Forgot what are NIC's for in fact? Corparate networks. Now, in DSL/Cable age, we use them at home.
That post deserves credit since we are talking about Windows DSL performance problems here.
Oh, btw, enable "passive ftp" for download on IE, DSL guys...
