Other similar implementations were either DMCA'd off of various platforms or had their domains seized by lawyers, their legal actions go back a few years already

I suppose the emoji version survives because it doesn't infringe on their word list or patent, which specifically is for "words"


Price mistakes happen all the time and your orders get cancelled...


It doesn't look like a mistake if you see the pricing history. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+5150+%40+...


Anyone knows why the price bounced from $99 to $770 in 2011?


It seems to use Newegg and Amazon as sources. A common trick is to just leave an item at high price when you don't have it in stock so no one would buy it. If someone did buy your item at that price you could cancel the transaction or go out of your way to get hold of the item.

So I guess at that point they were the only ones with the item "in stock".


It's the default official tool next to the GUI, isn't it? And it's basically the default installation option? I've been using that for a while.


Ya, I'm now sure how you could not find this client when looking for a windows got client.

As an aside, the official git client for windows doesn't play nicely with NTFS symbolic links, which make dealing with sym links a pain in the ass.


Exactly, "I tried lots of clients until I found the official git website and downloaded the officially listed windows version"

I've been using the (old) Meebo Messenger for years. I've never had the impression that they cared about its users a lot. There were no updates on the user interface since I began using it, they didn't add features that were highly requested on the feedback forums.

The toolbar thing is just... I don't know what that is. Looks useless to me.

Another thing, are there any good other web based multi messengers? I guess they will shut this down soon then?


I'm pretty sure they gave up on the messenger, and decided to put all their effort into the toolbar.


You just get double the space per referral, but you can not exceed the 18GB limit. That means you can get to 18GB faster, with fewer referrals.

But I don't know if it works retroactively for refs you already have.
