windows

An operating system that destroyed the internet as we know it. When Microsoft introduced Windows 95, they opened the door for the scums of the internet.

Windows is like a Jaguar. They're both high priced, and they're both unreliable.

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??

The Last Great Console

Phillips CDI.

The other day, I broke out my Phillips CDI (The Last Great Console) game console, and fired up "Hotel Mario", and could not believe what a great system the Phillips CDI was!

golf

One of the best models Volkswagen ever produced. The VW Rabbit would be a close second.

My VW Golf gets better gas mileage than your lame riced up Honda Civic.

2004

Hopefully the year Van Halen will finally release some new material.

It would be kick ass if Van Halen released a new album in 2004.

shell

A shell is the command processor interface. The command processor is the program that executes operating system commands. The shell, therefore, is the part of the command processor that accepts commands. After verifying that the commands are valid, the shell sends them to another part of the command processor to be executed.

When Windows failed to boot, I needed to use a DOS shell.
