IBM To Run VoIP On Linux

Posted by timothy on from the packetized dept.

hrhsoleil writes "Johnny Barnes, IBM's vice president of global IT solutions and standards, told attendees at a TechTarget conference this week that his company plans to migrate at least 80% of its more than 300,000 employees to voice over IP by 2008. The project will replace approximately 900 PBXs around the world with regional IP installations. IBM's server-based IP telephony platform is going to run on Linux."

      "This was a clumsy attempt by a caring and gentle person to find a first girlfriend," Mr "We don't yet know exactly what he was doing down there, but it seems to be some kind of fetish of his," OPP Constable Bob LaFreniere told reporters at an impromptu news conference held outside Peterboro, Ontario. "But I can tell you, we're damn glad we managed to starve him out, because we weren't too happy about the thought of going down there to flush him out ourselves."

      Constable LaFreniere was speaking near to the outside lavatory at Warsaw Caves conservation area where Darren Laitte, 26, of Richmond Hill, had just been arrested on two specimen accounts of committing an indecent act: "We received several complaints from women who had said they'd been spied on while using this facility. They told us that after they had concluded their private business in the outhouse, they'd looked down to see a man covered in their ordure leering up at them from beneath the toilet seat. So, we came to investigate, and saw Laitte down there in the holding tank. At first he refused to leave, so we laid siege to the outhouse, and starved him until he eventually agreed to come out. Apparently the man used to be an escapologist in a circus, and has a body as supple as rubber. he confessed that he'd squeezed down through the seat about a week ago so he could spy on women, and couldn't get out again. He said he'd been shat on by so women in his whole life, the thought it was time to go the whole hog. Turns out he liked lying underneath women so their body wastes splash onto his face. His mother finally coaxed him out by threatening to format his Linux server. We had to lower a rope, and when he surfaced, boy did he stink."

    "All of a sudden I was smelling something disgusting, and I started to gag," Monique Garcia told reporters at a news conference in Santa Monica. "I looked round at my friends, and saw that they were covered in something absolutely gross. And as I looked down at myself, I realised I was too."

    Garcia's attorney, Gloria Allred, then described what had occurred at the Snow Summit Ski Resort in the San Bernardino Mountains, during the videotaping of a segment for MTV's "Dude, This Sucks" Show. "Miss Garcia and her friend, Kelli Stoat, were standing in the front row of the audience, when a two-man act called Shower Rangers came on stage. Without warning or explanation, the two Shower Rangers turned their backsides to the audience, and both opened a flap on the back of their shorts, exposing their naked buttocks. Before my clients could say or do anything, the Shower Ranger whose buttocks faced them bent over, spread his cheeks, and emitted a spray of fecal matter over them. We learned later that he had given himself a three-quart enema immediately before going on stage, to ensure a large quantity of spray.

  8. Why you don't hear about Tron-based products by Dancin_Santa · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Let's say you buy a swimming pool for your house. You attach the hose to the faucet and start to fill that sucker up. But with what? What a dumb question! Water, of course. While it may be pretty cool to you to have a brand new swimming pool, the fact that it is filled with water is not news. That's just the natural thing to fill it with.

    Same with small devices like cameras and phones. It's not news when they are loaded with Tron. That's what Tron was designed to be useful for and it's small, well-supported, and works really well at what it does. Maybe the news that you've got a new product to sell makes the news, but the fact that it runs Tron is just par for the course. It's the natural thing.

    If you were to fill your swimming pool with gelatin or Mountain Dew, that might be news. But water? That's not news.

    VoIP on Linux? Swell idea. Let's put the technology to communicate via voice on a platform used by about 15 people - all of whom prefer spider collections over women, sci-fi marathons over bathing, and sticking hot pokers in their eyes over interacting with the outside world (unless, of course, it's through /.).

    Well, seeing as how I'm one of them, when does it get rolled out to us paltry home users?
