To differentiate between connections, the clients need to have different "resources." You probably didn't set one of your instances to have a different resource, so they are trying to fight over the same resource ("JabberIM" by default). Jabber will happily let you use as many connections as you want at once.. as long as each client has unique resources.

Both of these can be fixed with a quick trip to your Preferences. Simply tell it to not gain focus for new messages.
While I haven't read RFC1312 and can't comment on anything else in it... Jabber uses the user@host format for communicating with users. Microsoft Messenger does as well. I believe I heard that Yahoo! Messenger does internally.
Thanks to some happy hackers.. Gabber 0.8.0 (http://gabber.sourceforge.net) now supports message queuing and Gabber has had Status Docklet support for some time now.. so Gabber does exactly what you want. Besides that, it's a darn good looking app.
According to the flyer I received from Be at comdex, they promised DVD playing support in the next release of BeOS. I guess that's not going to happen.. I really haven't heard much more about it. It would be fantastic to have a free copy of BeOS running to play DVD's!!
Does anyone know the status on DVD Video player support in BeOS? Software based or otherwise?
Hey guys.. Just thought some people would appreciate a quick rundown of the nominees with some screenshots for good measure. BTW, these are all E themes for obvious reasons.
What's even cooler about VeggieTales (besides the hilarious clean humor and the great animation) is that it came out two years BEFORE Toy Story. According to IMDB (I never trust myself on dates), Toy Story came out in 1995 and the first VeggieTale video came out Christmas 1993. The animation of VeggieTales EASILY matches Toy Story and is created by a little Christian company with no big ties. I've always admired their success (at least in Christian circles) and more people interested in computer animation should check them out - I know they've inspired me to use my computer skills in a way that can help others (yeah, yeah - I'm a Christian and yes, I want to use my skills for God..).
Anyway.. I just thought it was cool that VeggieTales came out a couple of years before Toy Story, and is of excellent quality. It is too bad that they are hardly recoginized outside of Christian circles.
Well, it seems obvious to me. They want to promote competition in the Linux market so that it will become even better than what it currently is. This will aid in having more machines with Linux, which means more processors...
Of course, I would have to look into whether or not more Linux = more machines than are currently being sold or if more Linux = less market share for other OSes which means same amount of new processors..
Ah, wait! What if it means that OEMs can spend less on the software and MORE on the machine! That would make Intel quite happy!!
I am actively helping in the Jabber project, and I am sad to see so many hastily posted comments here on/.! To make some corrections to the posts that I've seen floating around, allow me to submit the following comments:
1) Jabber is not a rip-off of anything. Jabber is completely different than other IM systems. The first thing that sets it apart is that it is open source and GPLed. But what is more interesting than that is the fact that Jabber has the ability to speak to any type of communication protocol that ANYONE would care to develop a module for. The thing that makes this even cooler is that the modules just need to be installed on the Jabber servers. That way a Jabber client (like the one that is going to work WITH Mozilla) can instantly have access to other protocols as soon as the server has been updated - no updating of the clients is necessary.
2) I have to PARTIALLY agree with the posts about Mozilla getting bloated. But I say partially because I don't believe that most of the posters (especially the AC's) realize that what makes Mozilla bloated is the MODULES (not sure what the "official" term is for modules in Mozilla). The Mozilla Jabber client just works WITH Mozilla and may not necessarily be included in the binaries and so forth and I can't imagine it being required in source packages. DaKrushr already wrote a good post covering this.
3) Jabber has hardly anything to do with Mozilla. Yes, we will be developing a CLIENT to use with Mozilla, but that is just one client. We have clients for almost anything you can think of - Java, Windows, X Window using GTK+, a JavaScript one for browsers, MacOS, Linux command line and more! Please realize that the Jabber client that will be working with Mozilla is just a tiny part of what the Jabber project is all about.
Thank you for your time, and I hope that you will look more indepth into Jabber before writing it off in a heartbeat.
If you'd like to ask some questions, feel free (as temas already posted) to pop into #jabber on the Open Projects IRC Network (try carter.openprojects.net).
I was just compiling my kernel today and I noticed something that I believe would be of interest to you. It's called IP Multicasting and I found the info under Network Options in the make config script. After reading the web page about it, it looks very interesting and worthwhile. Check the page out at http://www.teksouth.com/linux/multicast/. Enjoy!
Thank you for posting this comment! I get so fustrated when people generalize about pro-life people when they use these horrible examples to describe the pro-life community. I sincerely believe that pro-life people do not need to resort to such radical (not to mention illegal) means, just to get their point out. I am on the pro-life side, but I am really embaressed (sp?) that these "terrorist" label themselves as pro-life since it ruins the credibility of the hundreds and thousands of others who are pro-life, yet condemn these actions.
Hmmm.. this is kind of like the "true" hackers vs 12yr old hackers thing...
my web usage meter has gone up a bit since i posted this, so i guess ya'll have used it.
yesterday my total usage for the week was 18.45 megabits (my isp is weird and measures it in bits) and today my total for the week is 72.43 megabits.. since my other sites on there basically suck, i guess this thing is popular:)

yes, in fact, several clients support GnuPG encryption. WinJab for Windows and Gabber for GNOME are two excellent free software options.

I was about to post a good article on why I thought Donald Becker is THE MAN! Then I saw your post and I just have to say YES! :)
Donald is just plain cool. I am constantly amazed at how many modules Donald has done -- with no one congratulating him or saying much anything.
Hmm.. this reminds me, I need to e-mail Donald to see if he'd like any post-Christmas presents.
