Isn't this the automatic patch that they mentioned yesterday? It fixes the same issue people were having before, but without the manual operation of:

Windows
        1.If the Skype icon is displayed in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen, right-click it and select Quit.
        2.Click Start, type "run" and press Enter. (On Windows XP: Click Start and then Run.)
        3.Type "%appdata%\skype" and click OK.
        4.Locate and delete the file shared.xml. The file may be displayed as shared if file extensions are not displayed by default on your computer.
        5.If you cannot find this file: Click Start, type "run" and press Enter. (On Windows XP: Click Start and then Run.)
                Type "control folders" and click OK.
                In the View tab, ensure that Show hidden files and folders is enabled.
                Repeat the instructions from the beginning.

        6.Restart Skype.

Mac
        1.Open Finder and locate the following folder:

~/Library/Application Support/Skype
        2.Delete the file shared.xml.
        3.Restart Skype.

The ~ sign means your home folder. You can find your home folder by opening Finder and selecting Go > Home from the menu bar or pressing Command (Apple), Shift and H keys at the same time.

Linux
        1.Go to the following folder: /home/YourLinuxUserName/.Skype
        2.Delete the file shared.xml.
        3.Restart Skype.

The Skype folder is a hidden folder - please check Show hidden files in your file browser to view and access it.

How much you wanna bet that stoobalou (the contributor of this 'article') is one of the editors of Thinq? http://www.thinq.co.uk/staff/ Gee... I wonder who's name there could be shortened to 'Stoo'?

It seems that every article that Stoobalou has written is basically a link to the article du-jour for Thinq. What's Slashdot's policy on pimping articles for sites that one might be affiliated with? Or can we at least get a disclaimer added to these postings (ie: "This is a non-paid advertisement to drive up Thinq's hits").

The little strip between the two antennas was added as an undocumented feature: Picture a boss/girlfriend/telemarketer that is calling you. Don't like where this converstation is going? You simply have to move your pinky finger down and voila, no more call (and you can blame the network). It's seamless... It just works.

What happens in Vegas *doesn't* stay in Vegas?

They can install sensors that can collect samples from the bathrooms at airports (or onboard airplanes themselves) as everyone needs to go. They can gather the location data and attach it to video showing who went into the bathroom during that time possibly detecting hostiles... If they really wanted to track specific regions, I wonder if they could they add something to the local water supply to give it a very specific isotope ratio?

Hey Gabe,
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

They prefer the term "Part Deux"...

I am quite fond of the MSE tool as well... works well, and doesn't slow my system down.

When will FarmVille be available on this platform?
