No, it's wet... I think I actually botched it though...
The conversation occurs at the dinner table, when Klump had the girlfriend over for dinner with his family...
The grandmother starts talking about all of the talk shows she liked to watch through the ages, and she gets to Mike Douglas. She then admits that Mike Douglas was the only white man that ever made her moist (rather than wet).
If it were an important film, I'd beat myself up over the botched quote. As things stand, it was the thought that counts. I don't often get to chime in with a Mike Douglas reference.
Do you mean to say that you're using Asterisk in lieu of Call Manager, or that Call Manager is using Asterisk as a POTS gateway?
I'm curious about your environment. Can you provide any additional details?
And to open the floor to any other interested parties: Are there any Open Source "Cisco Call Manager" replacements?
I'd love to be using 802.11 based VoIP handsets, like the Spectralink sets, or the new Cisco handset at home (In addition to Cisco's Wired IP Phones, which kick ass), but I can't exactly afford a Call Manager.
Your Cisco IP Phones should sound every bit as good, if not better, than your old telephone system.
If the call quality isn't pristine, chances are you've got network issues.
Your Network/IP Telephony guys ought to be looking at Layer-2 QoS settings (Maybe Layer-3 if your Voice traffic is traversing subnets), VAD (Voice Activity Detection), and Echo-cancellation settings.
If the equipment in your network infrastructure is up to snuff, and it's configured properly, you should never be aware that you're using VoIP.

Rather than telling us ahead of time, the Boston Globe informs us of this event on the day it is to occur.
To add insult to injury, Slashdot picks up the story, and runs it at about 3:00pm Eastern time, so that we east coasters have already put in the days work by the time we find out about it.
With a little advanced warning, maybe some of us would have been able to attend some of these events, or at a minimum, skipped work today on principle.
I'd like to see a "Slashdot Skip-Day," like back in high school. Watch the world grind to a halt when those of us that keep it running take a day off simultaneously!
(Actually, if we've all been doing our jobs correctly, everything would work fine in our absence... That's kind of scary too. Back to work I go...)
If he's a contractor, or a 1099 person, then the company cannot provide him with the tools he needs to do his job. This includes a computer, a phone, or even a permanent work space. Them's the rules. Check with the IRS.
Not to bust balls, or nitpick, but I'm curious about something you wrote...
You said that you were running HSRP on two Linux boxes.
HSRP is a Cisco proprietary protocol, and I know of no Linux implementation (I did a quick google for that, which confirmed what I'd already suspected).
Has someone implemented HSRP on Linux, or did you do this with VRRP (The open standard HSRP workalike, for which there is a Linux implementation), or did you use another means alltogether?
Well, that you can purchase a 100Mb card for an ISA system doesn't mean you can crank 100Mb through it.
It's simply a means of utilizing the network.
Remember that 10/100 switches weren't always prevalent. 100BaseT Only hubs used to be quite commonplace. You need a FastEtehrent card just to attach to it.

Are you saying he's Slashdot's patron Saint because of his Libertarianism, or because of his prolific Sci-Fi work?
I ask, because I'm libertarian, and I think Slashdot is littered with Liberals/Socialists.

Too obscure?

Haven't tried it out yet myself, but 3.3+ Megadownloads can't be wrong.
Philistine.

That reminds me... I need lottery tickets!
The laws of physics need not be broken. We merely lack a complete understanding of those laws, and in time, we will have that understanding.
There is no limit to human potential.
We are, after all, talking about some 2-bit Whore.

Piker.
I'm 1 year and 5 months overdue for my first "annual review."
My advice to you: "Quit being a pest."
Exactly whom are you replying to?

And it's not as if there's an IRS field rep stationed in everyone's workplace.

Sorry... That last reply should have been address to the parent.
