A First Look At Gaim 2.0

surgicaltubing writes to spotlight the progress towards vesion 2.0 for Gaim, the open source, multi-protocol IM client. "The Gaim 2.0 release is nearing its home stretch. The Gaim team released beta 4 last week, with a number of new features and UI improvements." Linux.com and Slashdot are both part of OSTG.

2 Things...

[HoosierPeschke]

1. I can't wait to try it out a year after it's release when it hits portage (stable)

2. Maybe by then I'll have someone to talk to and actually get to use it...

very punny

I see you're making jokes already; do you think this is some kind of GAIM?

I wouldn't be so optimistic.

Sigh. I will have to fall back to amsn still for another couple of years or so.

...write small messages and send them quickly after one another...

God I hate you. [iinet.net.au] Each of those messages was delivered in just over the amount of time it took me to read the previous one and alt-tab away.

Dude!

Do you know how many wierdo gay programmers would be into that? Totally beats cyber! Better yet, you know how many 12 year old girls would miss-use that on their MySpace page in ways that were truly horrifying? Like, oh my god, skins! And then the sonic dildo pops out..... I'm totally with you here. Great idea. Sonic Skull-fucking. The next non- open source OS I pay for had better have that feature or I'm not paying for it.

Re:MSN send message intervals

[crhylove]

Well, clearly part of the problem is either:

A. The MSN protocol.

or

B. The way the MSN protocol is implemented by the MSN servers.

because if it's:

C. They don't want people on windows or not using the official MSN client, then:

D. They're retarded.

I'd guess it's a little bit of A, B, C, and D.

I have mod points, and I was going to moderate this discussion but I have never been more confused as to what to mod a post than the parent post.
