RE: Plus! auto detection
I had disgused this with Patchou during the making of Plus!2. We talked about all the ways possible and they all lead to the same answer. He could have used a Plus! to send information to the other computer, but then he would have to use Winsock, and Patchou never uses any controls for Plus!. Basically there is no way Patchou can/will do this.
Cookie's post is explaining the fact that it could be a breech of privacy even if there is an option to hide having it (which there is when it comes to responding to /ping requests). The webcam isn't a breech of privacy since you have the option of, and I quote from the Options in MSN Messenger, "Share my webcam capabilities with others." Meaning if its unchecked you wont see the webcam icon in the convo, if it is checked, you will see it.
