I think I may just start calling it Asteroids(TM). "An open source telephony platform based on Asterisk(TM)". It's that or Asstricks. Asterisk - A star-shaped character * used in printing. An open source/free software implementation of a telephone private branch exchange (PBX) originally created by Mark Spencer of Digium. Asteroids - Enormous rocks or boulders that revolve around the sun, usually between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Roids - Hemorrhoids (AmE), haemorrhoids (BrE), emerods, or piles) are varicosities or swelling and inflammation of veins in the rectum and anus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roids Asstricks - See Asterisk and Roids.... A software implemetation of Asterisk that has been modified or swollen by a party or asshole other than Digium. Anyone want to help with designing a logo for Asteroids(TM)? I'll need you to sign a release in case I want to enforce a trademark aggressively on this word and the contributed logo sometime in the future. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
