Re: Skype

Very interesting points. It's a problem having morons who give out their passwords on my friends list.

Is there an option on Messenger where you can rename people with their actual name, rather than ~~~~(L)(*) ///@@@ etc etc.

Skype

I've almost given up on Windows Live Messenger (or whatever they're calling it now). When ever I sign on, or when I'm signed in, a regularly get instant messages which are clearly linking to dodgy websites. Frustratingly, I gave up on any IM technology. Now I know Skype has been around for a while, ...

Student loans

This may be of interest to some members. Student loans go interest free because of deflation, and even shrink for those in highger education between 1990 and 1997.

Re: VCard compatablity issues etc

No such luck, Nick. My bro has a few lying around but they're either simless, and my spare sims dont work, or they don't have a memory card slot. I've managed to import the Vcards one by one into Outlook Express' Address Book, then from there to Outlook 2007. It's now syncing. The order is mucked up...

When clicking links, the URL link becomes a /sub-directory link (if you're with me) pasted at the end of the current page URL. For example, if I'm on http://www.facebook.com/joe.bloggs and want to vie...
