asterisk

asterisk is open source PBX software designed for the Linux operating system.

asterisk eliminates the need of buying hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of dedicated PBX hardware.

Aside from Linux, asterisk also runs on various other operating systems, including: BSD, OS X, and now the Windows operating system using "AstWind" package.

Admin: We need a PBX for our organization, but we're kinda low on cash to buy expensive PBX hardware...

Assistant: No problem! Use asterisk, the open source Linux PBX.

Admin: I feel so stupid...

Bob Barker

A cranky, old, impatient game show host who needs to give it up. He always feels the need to make rude comments to the contestants of the show, and is always rushing them.

I couldn't agree more with Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore when he says, "I hate that Bob Barker".

Bob Barker: This is Bob Barker reminding you to help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered!

Me: Why doesn't someone have you spayed or neutered??

winmodem

A type of modem that relies on a computer's CPU, software, and the Windows operating system to work. Winmodems are known to be system resource hogs, and usually come with buggy drivers causing system instability.

Though Winmodems are intended to be used with the Windows operating system, there are Linux drivers available. Regardless of what you may read or hear, Winmodems are not real modems.

Controller-based modems are superior to Winmodems because they don't rely on your computer's CPU or operating system to work.

Clerks

One of the best cult classic movies of the 1990s. Clerks was written and directed by Kevin Smith, and was released in late 1994.

In my opinion, Randal is the funniest character in Clerks.


Randal: Have you ever wondered how much the average jizz-mopper makes per hour?

Dante: What's a jizz-mopper?

Randal: He's the guy that cleans up the nudie booth after each guy jerks off.
