Asterisk, that includes powerful telephony features at a fraction of the price of competitive products on the market.

The functions to which they are ultimately applied are determined not by the creators (the developers of the Asterisk and Apache development teams) but by Asterisk is built by and for communication systems application developers. developers. The open source project began in 1999 when Mark Spencer released the original Asterisk source Application developers take engine- code and began accepting submissions from a growing level components like Asterisk and community of users. The resulting product is an engine that Apache and build on top of them.

PBX, a VoIP Gateway, a dialer, or virtually any other type of telecom apparatus. Asterisk is to telephony what the Apache server is to web applications: essentially the exquisitely complex plumbing Some Asterisk applications are on which other applications are built. Just as a web server simple and use little more than the core does very little without web applications, a telephony Asterisk engine, a few configuration files, server does nothing without telephony applications. Web and some scripts written in Asterisk’s applications can be as simple as a single static HTML page Dialplan language. More advanced or as complex as Facebook or Google. Likewise, telephony Asterisk applications connect Asterisk applications can be very simple scripts or hugely complex with databases, web services and other suites of application software. external resources.

  • How the Past Affects the Future: the Story of the Apostrophe1
    HOW THE PAST AFFECTS THE FUTURE: THE STORY OF THE APOSTROPHE1 Christina Cavella and Robin A. Kernodle I. Introduction The apostrophe, a punctuation mark which “floats above the line, symbolizing something missing in the text” (Battistella, 1999, p. 109), has been called “an unstable feature of written English” (Gasque, 1997, p. 203), “the step-child of English orthography” (Barfoot, 1991, p. 121), and “an entirely insecure orthographic squiggle” (Barfoot, 1991, p. 133). Surely the apostrophe intends no harm; why then the controversy and apparent emotionalism surrounding it? One major motivation for investigating the apostrophe is simply because it is so often misused. A portion of the usage problem can perhaps be attributed to the chasm dividing spoken and written language, as the apostrophe was originally intended to indicate missing letters, which may or may not have actually been enunciated. To understand what has been called “the aberrant apostrophe,” (Crystal, 1995, p. 203) and the uncertainty surrounding its usage, an examination of its history is essential, for it is this “long and confused” (Crystal, 1995, p. 203) history that is partially responsible for the modern-day misuses of the apostrophe. This paper will trace the history of the apostrophe, examining the purpose(s) for which the apostrophe has been utilized in the past as well as presenting its current use. An overview of contemporary rules of usage is then included, along with specific examples of apostrophe misuse and a recommendation on how to teach apostrophe usage to non- native speakers of English. Finally, an attempt is made to predict the apostrophe’s future.

  • Trademarks 10 Things You Should Know to Protect Your Product and Business Names
    Trademarks 10 things you should know to protect your product and business names 1. What is a trademark? A trademark is a brand name for a product. It can be a word, phrase, logo, design, or virtually anything that is used to identify the source of the product and distinguish it from competitors’ products. More than one trademark may be used in connection with a product; for example, COCA-COLA® and DIET COKE® are both trademarks for beverages. A trademark represents the goodwill and reputation of a product and its source. Its owner has the right to prevent others from trading on that goodwill by using the same or a similar trademark on the same or similar products in a way that is likely to cause confusion as to the source, origin, or sponsorship of the products. A service mark is like a trademark, except it is used to identify and distinguish services rather than products. For example, the “golden arches” mark shown below is a service mark for restaurant services. The terms “trademark” and “mark” are often used interchangeably to refer to either a trademark or service mark. 2. How should a mark be used? Trademarks must be used properly to maintain their value. Marks should be used as adjectives, but not as nouns or verbs. 4 | knobbe.com For example, when referring to utilizing the FACEBOOK® website, do not say that you “Facebooked” or that you were “Facebooking.” To prevent loss of trademark or service mark rights, the generic name for the product should appear after the mark, and the mark should appear visually different from the surrounding text.

Realizing that I had not yet packed for my trip to San Francisco, I was a little worried about missing my early morning flight.

Either way, I could wind up being late. The AGI (Asterisk Gateway Interface) script I had installed on my Asterisk box that serves wake-up calls solved both my problems with snooze alarms.
