Cringely Shows How to Get Free Cell Calls
SafariShane writes "In this week's pulpit, Bob describes how to properly use new software from a company called IPDrum. Basically, you use the free mobile-to-mobile feature of any major carrier to call a dedicated cell phone attached to your computer. That call is then connected to Skype, allowing you to make free cell calls just about anywhere. Just how long till someone does this on a large scale, by overselling the dedicated lines, and starts selling true unlimited cell plans?"
This is completely pointless. I mean, you have to keep your computer running all day and not crash. After all, Skype is Windows-only software. How are you going to make it not crash? That's going to cost a lot of money too in just power. I mean, how much is power these days? Computers take a lot of power, you can get like 500 Watt power supplies these days, and many modern computers need this so the power supply doesn't blow. Yawn. I think it's better to just get all your friends get cell phones, and call them for free using the cell-to-cell call plan like your provider intends to, instead of doing some communist Lunix solution.
:P
Wtf.
Lunix is this crappy thing that's just a stolen pirate copy of MS-DOS blown up to 50 Gigabytes of install DVD:s by including hi-rez penguin porn and 52 different image viewers. (None of which support reading GIF files because they're too lame to pay patent royalties LOL.) Also, you can't get IE for Lunix.
No, the only real platform to run this on is Mac OS 9. (Not Mac OS X. It's for fagots. It has some weird files hidden within it about cookie recipes and flowers and other weird lunix fagot stuff.) Mac OS 9 is grate. You get IE for it. (You don't get IE for Mac OS X because Microsoft stopped developing their IE for Mac OS X). But the fagots at Skype don't even know what a Mac is so they don't have a Mac version.
Also Mac OS X is fagot software because it runs on Intel/IBM chips, not on the vastly superior Motorola 68k chipset.
