Linux on cell phones

[Refalm]

quote: Cell phones are a new foray for the Linux operating system, which has found its initial stronghold inside servers, powerful networked computers. Companies including MontaVista Software, TimeSys, Red Hat, LynuxWorks and Motorola are all trying to adapt the software for the embedded computing market, which includes cell phones and other consumer-electronics products and devices.

I have a rotary as well.  I like it because it makes people think twice before using my long distance.  Plus, there is no way for me to ring people into my building.  If you show up, you had better have a key, tell me that you have beer (in which case I will walk out and open the gate), or be a chick (in which case I will walk out and open the gate.) Anything else, fuck off...

And I really like it when telemarketers call.  They here the 'chiming of the bell' just as the phone clicks on their third word.
