Chat Online with Cordless Phone

Posted by Zonk on from the who-doesn't-like-a-rainy-day-project? dept.

buckymatters writes "Christoffer Järnåker has converted an old home phone to be used with Skype, MSN voice chat or other similar software. Using the 'highly scientific method Trial and Error' he uncovered the input and output of the phone, wired it up and began talking 300 meters away from his computer on MSN."

      What I want to know is what are all these arab and african niggers doing in the netherlands? It really brings a tear to my eye to see all these animals is such a once beautiful country.

    ..because I really don't see whats so exciting about this. Doesn't every geek do stuff like this without even thinking about it?

    A guy connected two wires to a phone. Great. And he used his computer as a signal tracer. Marvelous. Wanna hear about what I did with a walkie-talkie and a talking doll when I was a kid? No? Didn't think so.

    Keep at it son, and call when you've cured cancer. Thanks.

    I don't think I've ever seen a "+3, Troll" before. Clearly I've upset the Slashdot gods.

    Perhaps Lenin, Stalin and Bush would be proud supporters of the website.

      Nice ID, Stalin. You are the true believer in Socialism.

      Interesting that you primarily post to articles from Hemos or Zonk.

      So interesting that you chose to use the identity, "noidentity"... Is there something you're hiding perhaps?

      Sounds like it's time for me to be rated -1. Whaddaya think, Stalin?

      You must be new here.

      I've had one of my comments at +5, Troll before.

      Unlike this one, of course, which will end up -1, Offtopic

      You responded: "Neat, I hadn't ever looked at which articles I post to.".
      My response: What hogwash. We're not that stupid. Is that what you really think someone who isn't playing "monkey business" would have said? Then you say, "I doubt it matters since most of my comments are pure junk"... as the cartoon goes... you just self-deprecated yourself out of a job.

      You responded: "Regarding the handle, I choose it a long time ago and then didn't use the account for years."
      My response: Interesting. Your account has posted at least 24 comments in the last 8 days. Unfortunately (or fortunately, for you) Slashdot doesn't let us go beyond the last 24 comments to validate your statement. How convenient.

      As an aside, you should
