Classification of ICQ numbers by beauty.

Previously, all currently existing UINs can be classified by the number of characters in the number:
- five-character
- six-character
- seven-character
- eight characters
- nine digits

In terms of prestige and significance, they are located in the same order. The most prestigious are five-figures, the least-nine signs.

In each of the above groups further classification goes by the beauty of the room. It's already somewhat more complicated. Let us single out the main criteria:
- X numbers are when only one digit is used (eg 111111)
- XY numbers are when only two digits are used (eg 121221)
- XYZ numbers are when only three digits are used (eg 121233)
- XYZA numbers are when only four digits are used, with the fourth digit being used only once (eg 128332)
- mirrors - this is when the right-hand side is a mirror image of the left (for example 163361)
- stairs - this is when the numbers go in a row (for example 123456)
- simple or curved numbers (for example 153478)

Inside XY and XYZ numbers there is a division in beauty of masks. Here the number of options is quite large. For example: xxyyzz, xxxxyz, xyzxyz, xyyyyz, etc.

In general, in all types of rooms prestige is determined by the number of consecutive identical numbers (for example 1777734). The more their number, the better and more beautiful.

I would also like to single out from the whole mass the so-called elite numbers. These include:
- all five-digit numbers
- six-digit numbers from the first thousand (for example 100126)
- six-digit XY numbers (for example 311111)

Unreg (unregisterred) - a number that very badly corrupted the corporation AOL (owner icq) or just a server error. Such a number of very many of them can not be registered again. Now the range is registered, if it is interesting from 359999999 to 499999999.

Dead ranges - ranges of numbers (tens of thousands of numbers) unregistered generally in the status of unreg, for example, if I'm not mistaken, this is the end of the 8-character range. Why this happened to anyone is unknown (well, except that AOL to the sheep ).

The number icq "invalid" is the number icq to which it is possible to tie as many prymari soap as possible, why it happens to nobody is known and when hijacking such an icq number and prescribing a second mailbox for recovery, the host and the hijacker, in turn, Mail addresses, if this happened to you, you can safely throw out this number or put it in public for schoolchildren with him, you will not be able to do anything.

Sploid - A virus crawling into the system through web sites. Principle of operation:

1) You open the link - the system was activated.
2) After analyzing the received information - View, browser version and possibly installed software, it issued a request for a page with a certain code that uses a browser vulnerability or any software on your computer to load you a Trojan.
3) Then he wrote down all the data from your computer (shown here) and passed the report to the server of the Trojan owner.
4) The owner of the trojan read (parsed) the report and replaced the passwords on the mail, ICQ, etc.

Jabber - competitor ICQ, born in 1998, is supported by alternative IM-services, for example, Google Talk. The main difference is the decentralization of servers. As a result, a very fragmented community.

Quiet Internet Pager (QIP) - a free instant messaging program using the OSCAR protocol, in many respects similar to ICQ. QIP is a client with a closed source code intended for sending instant messages through public servers under the operating system of the Microsoft Windows family.

Phantom contacts - contacts that were previously deleted, but for some reason remained on the server, or if you deleted the chela from your list, and you do not, then it will be a phantom contact. At the moment you can see only the latest versions of the jim.

Miranda IM (Miranda IM) is an instant messaging manager capable of working on the most common networks, such as ICQ, AIM, MSN, Jabber, Yahoo and others. Miranda is free software, it can be used for free by anyone. Miranda IM runs under the Windows operating system of any version. There is also a version of Miranda for Linux, although the program is not a cross-platform application and is focused on the Windows API, but its use is possible on the Wine shell, which causes some inconvenience to use for non-experienced users, but the possibility of its launch from Linux still exists.
