the first thing I noticed is that XMPP doesn't keep losing connection and trying to login.

though I don't think it might be an issue to everyone, but on the facebook chat plugin it would query who is online and who isn't at time intervals, resulting in mass signings/signouts at once depending on the time of day + size of friends list. I'm not sure if the xmpp system is any better but I assume it will be more real-time.

Funny thing about other *chans (kusaba or equivalent image board sites other than 4chan), they hate 4chan for the immeasurable amount of shit posting, where in comparison the smaller *chans have slower post volume but better content (usually)

When 4chan goes down, gets blocked, whatever, all these 4channers start migrating to the other imageboards and spread their 4channiness around either HAI GUISE IM GONNA POST HERE WHILE 4CHAN IS DOWN, K or just bitching about how they can't get on /b/.

So the members of these smaller boards realize 4chan needs to be alive to function as sort of a floodgate of retardation. I'm sure this principal applies to more than just *chan style boards though.

Google hardly even uses Windows AFAIK. The IE vulnerability victims are likely the people who had their accounts attacked.

Two wings of the same crazy bird.

even they should know no suggest-marketing (especially with antivirus, "optimization," etc) will work who knows that much about what they're doing.

Sounds like a pretty modest proposal to me. I wonder why people in Ireland haven't thought of it before.
