  7. Two major ones on What Makes a Good IM Client? · · Score: 5, Informative
    Two commonly used ones are (and fairly good ones I might say) are Trillian and GAIM

    GAIM is an Open Source program, and therefore is completely free. Trillian has a free and Pro versions, but the free version is still quite capable.

    A. Stop posting stories submitted by this Beatles link spammer. He's using Slashdot to boost his Google pagerank.

    Even though I am against spamming, I beg to differ on your request to ban someone from submitting articles. I know many users (examples: top ten submitters) who submit articles that are cohesive, thought out and in general good that also use their article author link to promote a site.

    It seems to me that as long as the flow of the articles is coherent, insightful and fresh, this is what is important. Now yes, if every 1 out of 7 articles ever posted on slashdot was from this submitter than I would worry, but that is not the case here. The issue is on the quality of the articles, and not just based on who submits them. This is what it is about, correct? As Martin Luther King said

    "a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character".

    In this case, the submitters should be judged by quality of the articles they submit, not by what kind of author-link they have.

  15. Re:So my professors were lying? on Goto Leads to Faster Code · · Score: -1, Redundant

    This article is NOT about the ancient Goto arguments, but rather it is referencing the highly-specialized subroutines written by a man who goes by the name Kazushige Goto.

  25. Re:Admin Privileges on Sony Music CD's Contain Mac DRM Software Too · · Score: 5, Insightful
    YOU may not even consider such an idea, but not everyone is so tech-savvy. Think of all the Joe users out there...

    Joe user: What's this I see? I have to enter my password to play a music CD? Oh no biggy, its just a music CD. What harm could it do?

    That is my concern. The average user sees it comes from Sony, a "trustable" company, and doesn't give it a second thought. A very lethal combo
