Google Talk is the stealthiest, since it opens right in Gmail
I think you meant Google Chat, which works between browsers signed on to Gmail.
Google Talk is a separate application. I never could get it to work with my old systems.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

It was still calling itself Google Talk when it first popped up as a new feature, but that may be because my office computer is in the UK. (At work, I have "Google Mail," and not "Gmail" because there was a licensing snafu with the name a couple months back.)
[eta: Yeah, on the front page, the logo is still saying "Google Mail + Talk"]

Is this the page that's giving you the frelled up bin file?
No, the frelled up bin file was the file downloaded directly by the Messenger client, but this page makes me even more crazy, because the version I downloaded myself is 3.5.1, and that page you linked says I only need a new version of Messenger if I'm running 3.5.0 or older, yet still, when I tried to run the 3.5.1 version, it still said I needed a newer version, or else I could go stuff myself.

Went back and re-read the notice that was posted [link] and [link]
Looks like you only need the separate application if you want the VOIP features.

Hey. New board.
Sean, Adium is my favorite program. Ever. For anything. It is, in my opinion, the PERFECT instant messaging client.
Talks to AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, Jabber, and a bunch of things that I don't even know what they are. And is very, very pretty.

Thanks, Gris. I may try Adium, but it will have to wait for a time when my bosses aren't wandering through at random intervals.

Heh -- a not very encouraging screenshot of a Windows Vista (beta) error screen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anyone have any wiki software recs? Open source, and editable (to hack security--I want something where one can control who adds and edits, and I want to replace their security with new).

Coding and Sleeping
All this chat software talk makes me want to set my chat software for something other than work, on the downside I have no contacts to put on there other than work.
