Do you know how many swear words are contained in the Linux Kernel?
I saw a tweet from jploh about the silly comment on the Asterisk source. I found that a european was insulted being called silly.
Here’s the link The Silly comment I’ll paste what was on the source code of Asterisk Open Source PBX.
/*! \brief Pick the best audio codec */
int ast_best_codec(int fmts)
{
/* This just our opinion, expressed in code. We are asked to choose
the best codec to use, given no information */
int x;
static int prefs[] =
{
/*! Okay, ulaw is used by all telephony equipment, so start with it */
AST_FORMAT_ULAW,
/*! Unless of course, you're a silly European, so then prefer ALAW */
AST_FORMAT_ALAW,
I lol’ed when I saw that. So a lot of discussions were made. Then Mike Cargile from VICIDIAL Group about the amount of swear words from the Linux Kernel. He welcomed the european dude to the world of Open Source.
Here’s the amount of swear words that are inserted to the Kernel.

From Globe Duo to Globe SuperDuo. Now its awesome!
Meh. Been using globe duo since I got my postpaid line. It’s a cool feature because I got a manila landline number and I won the LANDLINE NUMBER LOTTERY, I got 2XX-1000!!!!! HOWS THAT FOR A LANDLINE NUMBER? :p
Then all of sudden I got an informercial text from Globe offering me this:
Free Globe Advisory: You can upgrade ur DUO to SUPERDUO to enjoy unlimited calls to any Globe/TM mobile nationwide on top of ur DUO subscription for only 499/30days. Just txt DUO OFF to 8888 to deactivate ur DUO and txt SUPERDUO
ON to 8888 to register for SUPERDUO. Unused DUO subscription fee will be credited to ur acct w/in 2 months. For the list of areas and more info, txt SUPERDUO INFO to 8888 for free. No Globe Advisories? Txt STOP to 2977 FREE
So I sat on it for a few hours because I just tried that 150 pesos 1 week thingie like the 238 then number. I am also quite worried about my landline number that came with the DUO that I have. I have it printed on my business cards and also told everyone who wants to know my landline number. Anyhow I called Globe customer services for 4 times just to confirm that I wont lose my JACKPOT number and they said no, I wont lose it.
So off I go and deactivated my DUO subscription. Then I made a mistake on texting SUPERDUO MM ON to 8888 when I received the text message that I need to reply YES in order for me to deactivate the DUO. So yeah I lost the ability to deactivate my DUO to upgrade it to SUPERDUO. I called the customer service and have then deactivate it for me. After going thru a lot of verification, they deactivated it and viola I registered for SUPERDUO and I RETAINED MY LANDLINE NUMBER. Boom boom pow yeah?
Now Im enjoying the unlimited globe to globe calls. Yes Im calling the one I am courting too and a typical call last like 3 hours.
. This is a huge savings for me as I am paying about 7000 pesos per month on calls (150usd+).
Basically this is also the longest post I did. Good times ahead people.
Thank you for wasting your time.
