Asterisk 1.4 released

AsteriskAsterisk 1.4 is out for blood. Asterisk would like you to waddle toward the 1.4 release like a zombie, download it, then go rip your company PBX out of the wall, power cords and all and dash it upon the rocks below in the ravine. Asterisk is very cheap alternative to outdated and expensive systems for private branch exchange (PBX) telephone systems. The 1.4 release includes support for a unified messaging approach, where all your faxes, voice mail, and email messages show up in the same place. So all you PBX zombies go rip your phone system out of the wall and replace it with the open-source VoIP system that now even supports Jabber for you to message all your other zombie cohorts when there are donuts in the conference room. Delicious.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
