Flaky is the word. I got Skype (and have used Skype-In and Skype-Out for around a year) simply because I didn't have a land line and rinsed £30 on a mobile to mobile (cross network) call in 1 night to my girlfriend. Skype has saved me money on such calls but just tonight Skype crashed twice in a 1 hour call. This is totally unacceptable for a "phone" service. I do quite like the Skype-Pro in that it allows free calls to landlines (this is in the Uk by the way) but when the calls get dropped on such a frequent basis it's almost embarrassing to call people with it. I like voip but will be changing providers the second my current Skype-In number expires... Also, getting charged £1.50 for every £10 worth of Skype-Out credit because I'm in the Uk is painful. Worth Billions? You're fucking joking.

The Power of Accidental Discoveries 174

schmiddy writes "An article from Wired mentions the surprising number of discoveries that have been made entirely by accident. In an older article, The Discovery Channel's site points out a different subset of inventions that happened by accident. A much older article from PBS goes into more depth on the subject of accidental discoveries, and gives a great quote from physicist Joseph Henry: 'The seeds of great discoveries are constantly floating around us, but they only take root in minds well prepared to receive them.'"
