[RLP] Free Calling	May. 8th, 2028 @ 12:36 pm

For those of you who have (or can get) Grand Central accounts, a trick to make free VoIP phone calls from your computer to any land line:

I just tested it, and it seems to work beautifully.

Now I'll have to go find the gizmo5 client for iphone and see if there's enough data bandwidth on EDGE there to support a voip call, although that's explicitly against AT&T's TOS.

If I weren't for the kernel source I'm hacking on in the next workspace over, I'd call that the nerdiest thing I'd seen all day.

Post some kernel source so we can compare.

Speaking of iPhones, you've heard about this, right?: http://lifehacker.com/386168/get-free-wi+fi-access-on-your-laptop-at-starbucks-barnes-and-noble

It's been a good week for easy hacks.
