This week, we really don’t even talk voip — well of course we do talk voip… but it’s like 99% movies, 1% voip. Oh, and we discover Patrick may be secretly in love with Ryan Reynolds and Fred thinks that Halle Berry should give back her oscar.

In this week’s Voip Tech Chat, Fred wondered if scorpions actually live in Florida. Thanks to (as Patrick would say) the Interweb we stumbled upon a great article from the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
Apparently, there are 90 species of scorpion living in the United States — with only 4 living east of the ol’ Mississippi River (for some reason I’m picturing the Evans family chanting M - I - crooked letter crooked letter… gotta love Good Times).

The acronym DTMF comes from the phrase Dual-Tone Multi Frequency. Basically, if you have a “touch-tone” phone (at Voip Tech Chat we get paid every time that we use quotes) you can hear a special tone when you press a number. If you’re a really bored person, you can even use these tones to make music. For example, if you wanted to play Mary had a Little Lamb, you can press: Continue Reading »
