I haven't been testing it Toni. But, maybe some of the Skype developers read the Puppy forum. Afterall, it is a very active forum, and a lot gets discussed here and murga forum links are quick to appear on google searches about most anything linux. So annoying that would be, and such a kill-joy wasting other people's time (yours particularly). If so, far better etiquette if Skype developers at least came on this forum and made it clear that they were planning to disable any such workarounds before significant effort(s) had already been put in to them.saintless wrote:Can someone confirm if this pet still works for him?OscarTalks wrote:I have made a modified version of Skype 2.2.0.35-new which I have uploaded as .pet and .sfs to http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks
I think the loophole we had is closed from today. I can't connect this morning. Hope it is my ISP issue but I doubt that.

Imagine how different things would be if Skype opened up the source or even the protocol (including login protocol details), what fun we would have making it all work and work better.
An opensourced Skype-like app that bettered Skype would be great. Problem, aside from the current number of Skype users, is that Microsoft are slowly and surely building Skype functionality into their other major apps such as Office. EDIT: So it becomes a bit of a monopoly that is difficult to break (maybe the EU, and US and everyone else, needs to warn Microsoft to allow competing VOIP apps to easily be linked into Office and so on else yet another example of anti-competitive practice and not sell their products with any VOIP already built in, but as optional addons only - otherwise becomes the same as how they 'used to' sell Windows OS with Internet Explorer effectively hardwired in).
