You forgot to mention that "secret spy" software included in the HamVoIP
release is designed to dampen the Sun's double-oscillator, throwing it
completely out of phase. With each new HamVoIP node deployed, the effect
becomes more pronounced, ultimately causing a Maunder Sunspot Minimum.  
This, of course, is to the HamVoIP advantage, since no sunspots means even
more hams will need AllStar for communications. Which, in turn, dampens
the Sun even more.

A movie is already in production. In this remake of the classic 1962
thriller "Dr. No," SPECTRE is replaced SPARKY, AKA: John David McGough, as
the Arch villain (running Arch Linux, of course). In a twist of the plot 
from the original movie, SKYNET is accidentally created by huge Raspberry 
Pi cluster, leading to world domination.


....LMAO....
