Hi Yvonne and list. The keystroke for preventing Skype Talking from making any announcements is Ctrl+Alt+Shift+I (That's I as in "ignore"). You should hear Skype Talking say: "Ignore Skype events on". It's a toggle, so press the same key combination to cancel.-------------------------------------------------- From: "yvonne oliver" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2010 12:16 PM To: "screen access software with skype" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] No more skype + Warninghi don't remember hearing of this until now. i will try to remember not to click on the link anyway i pose a question to the groupi want to turn off skype talking while i am online to prevent skype talking speaking all the time during a conversation.i am told the key command to do this is. alt, control, shift e however this does not work ass all i get something saying accuteehow do i turn skype on and off during a call without restarting the computerthank you Yvonne----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh" <[email protected]>To: "screen access software with skype" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 23, 2010 5:55 AM Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] No more skype + WarningI am not sure if this has crossed the list or not, but I received an email just a little bit ago informing people to not click on links claiming to fix their Skype accounts. the email was from Accessible Devices and it said that clicking on these links basically could prove to be malicious content. I tried to forward the message over but the message got rejected.

Without a centralized server to relay for people behind routers, it would've seemed like this problem was waiting to happen. skype must've had nodes where the public phone system comes in that also help, but I suppose this is part of the reason why routers aren't the best solution to the problem of running low on IP addresses, or they may have been before people used the net to talk directly instead of by email or other things that go through servers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Lee" <[email protected]> To: "screen access software with skype" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 8:54 PM Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] No more skypeA somewhat bizarre, but hopefully useful, reply to the assertion that some governmental body or other had a hand in bringing Skype down today... I do not want this to turn into a long thread if I can help it, but suffice it to say, the explanation Skype gave for the problems of today make perfect sense to me, and I absolutely do not believe thereis any element of government involved in what happened. I thought theSkype blog explanation was pretty good, but in case it helps, here's my own version: Imagine for a moment that every computer running Skype is a person. Some live in large apartment buildings, and some just in houses. These large apartment buildings, and of course the houses too, have addresses. For a house, that's all you need in order to send a mail to the occupant. For an apartment though, the address is not enough. Imagine, though, that there is no way to get more information about exactly where in the apartment building a particular person lives. So I'm a Skype instance, sitting somewhere in a large apartment complex, and I want to call you, and you're also sitting in one ofthose big buildings. We have a problem: I can't find you, I can onlyfind your building. You can't find me, but only my building too. So we have to contact somebody in a house, who has one nice simple address, and get that person to relay messages between us. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a Supernode. Supernodes are just Skype instances that help other Skypes connect to each other. So who are the supernodes? Well, translating from my little house/apartment idea back to what's really afoot: The people, or Skypes, that are in the large apartment buildings are the Skypes that are running on machines that are behind routers, which give the machines local IP addresses instead of addresses that are actually on the Internet directly. The people in the houses are the Skypes that are running on machines with "real" Internet IP addresses, i.e., plugged straight into DSL modems and cable boxes without a router inbetween. Those directly-connected Skypes may, for some of the time they are running, become Supernodes. The process is automatic, and there are many many many Supernodes out there at any given time. Or, almost any given time. :-) Today, something happened that causeda lot of the Supernodes to stop doing their Supernode jobs. It may bea bug in the Skype code, or something that can be fixed in data streams - I don't know exactly. The point, though, is that whatever happened caused, again using my example, all the people in the housesto slam their doors and stop hearing cries from the apartment dwellers like, "Helloooo, um, could you please tell me if you know how to reachthis guy Bob, and if you do, could you please send this voice packethis way?" The net result, pardon the pun, is that all of us apartment folk suddenly can't find anybody, because nobody we can reach directlyis able to listen.So Skype's temporary solution, while trying to rescue all the troubled Supernodes, is to erect Supernodes of their own, nodes that can handlea huge number of requests very quickly. Then Skype, the company, can send out something that says, to all of us occasionally impatient apartment folk, "Ahem, ANYBODY LOOKING FOR HELP CONNECTING TO PEOPLE, HERE'S A LIST OF PEOPLE IN HOUSES THAT HAVE OPEN DOORS NOW: ..."But of course, getting massive servers online and getting the millionsof Skypes out there to turn their heads in the right direction can take time to pull off. But they have people working on that, and of course, more people working on the more permanent solution, gettingthe Supernodes that are usually in great supply, back in great supply.Disclaimer: I wrote all of this based on my understanding of Internetcommunication protocols, Skype communication mechanisms as describedin public forums, and, well, a little bit of my crazy imagination. :-)There is no new information here that has not been published by Skype directly, just a new and admittedly wordy way of saying it all. Ihope this is helpful to someone, or at least if not, amusing to a few.On Thu, Dec 23, 2010 at 07:19:08AM +0500, inamuddin wrote: Dear friends acording to skype developers since 16 15 gmt skype is down. further more it says due to many computers shut down it is facing problem and they are working as fast as they can. Friends in my openion, it is highly unlikely that a large number of smart computers shut down at the same time. It is quite posible that c ia or any other security agency in the united states or some where in european country has a hand in it.
