Beta: Instant Messaging in Frontier/Radio

Jeremy Bowers on HTML in Instant Messages. Jabber and AIM work differently. Markpasc recommends using string.htmlToEmail to dehtmlize text before IMing it. 

Lawrence: "Hello World! I'm posting via IM!" 

John: "Create services on your desktop that can be offered to anyone that has a supported IM client or a tcp-im enabled version of Radio -- even if you are behind a firewall." 

Ernie the Attorney takes a look at Rep Coble. "Is this a guy who understands the highly intricate world of technology that he seeks to regulate? Or is he a guy that sees only a world of screen doors and mosquitos?" 

John VanDyk reached a conclusion on his quest for compatibility betw Frontier and PHP on Mac OS X. 

Bowie: "I personally don't think the copyright will exist in the next 10 years. We'll lose all authorship whatsoever." 

Lessig asks "What have we done about it?" in re technology patents. Here's what we can do and are doing. Develop new ideas and don't patent them. That's the most any developer can do. How about a conservancy for developers who don't take patents. Get people intellectual credit for their creations to balance the proprietary credit they are not demanding. Lessig is so damned irritating. He says "We've not done anything yet." Arrrrgh. Incorrect. He's not done anything yet. Perhaps his friends haven't done anything yet. Does Dr Lessig understand technology any better than Rep Coble? 

NY Times: "Testing out a tactic to combat online piracy, a group of record companies asked a judge yesterday to order four major Internet service providers to block Americans from viewing a China-based Web site that offers thousands of copyrighted songs free of charge." 

Listen4Ever: "No web site is configured at this address."
