WCF config is a royal pain in the backside. Moving back to .ini files wouldn't make it any better.
Anyway, app.config files are so last year - it's all about config.json[^] now!

I'd like to get into the mirror cleaning industry.
It's just something I could really see myself doing!

I'll bet you reflected on that for a long time. 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I'm trying to arrange a spoken conversation with four possible parties across three different continents.
The client company who is the main reason for this conversation has a policy against skype in the workplace (I think I like them already, a story for later).
Anyway, since skype is forbidden there, they use a "telephone bridge". I would like to find something better. Phone bridges are difficult for me when crossing country and language barriers.
So far, I have found these eight possibilities...
I'm sure that's not the entire list, and I welcome other ideas.
In fact, I don't know which of these will fit the bill.
Anyone who knows good or bad about these, I'm ready to read it, and thanks.
The actual application is not the big thing here, it's the ability to physically hear all the extra sounds that humans make with when speaking; that's the goal.
The requirements are...
- Simple web interface
- No download, no install
- I send them a URL // click click // we start talking
Clear human speech is what I'm after. I'm guessing 16 bits or better, but that's just my guess.
My thanks for any feedback on any of these (or other) packages.

Thanks, missed an obvious one.
We absolutely MUST get something where we can physically hear each other speak with all the sounds.
The phone just won't do it.

Guardian, Feb. 10: "Science and superheroes: how close are we to creating real superpowers?:" [^]
MarketWatch, Feb. 10: "Biohackers implant computers, earbuds and antennas in their bodies:" [^]
"Yeah, they're only putting out 2.5 micro-grams of carbon per minute."
"Wow, you got the upgrade !"
"Well, you know ... I have an 'in' with the company."
"Can you tell what I'm hosting ?"
"Other than the silicon ?"
"Ha ! your arousal level just went from 'platonic' to 'low-horny."
"Well, that tells me you're monitoring infra-red, at least."
"And, heart-beat, and breathing rhythm."
"What ?"
"Yeah, I got that last week, and it includes echo-location."
"Wow: that's an expensive mod !"
"Are you jealous ?"
"mmmm ... no, but you are going to be jealous when I tell you what I am going to get next week ..."
"What ?"
"Your skin temperature on your face just went up a quarter-of-a-degree !"
"Yeah, I am ... I admit it ... I'm turned-on by this stuff !"
"You've heard of the 'Prevaritron Signature' mod ?"
"Hey ... I thought that was just a myth."
"It's not ... in fact, I'm wearing a beta of it right now."
"No way !"
"Way !"
"Well, what does it tell you ?"
"The beta is far from functional, but right now it's telling me that you are bored, disinterested, kind of repulsed by me, and you feel on-the-spot ... because ... maybe ... you don't want to hurt my feelings by just leaving."
"Look, I hope I don't seem cruel ... I mean my gosh we've already ordered dinner ... can't we just enjoy it ?"
"Oh, I cancelled your dinner-order when I went to the bathroom ten minutes ago; it's okay if you want to leave."
"Well, all right."
"Don't worry, I'm going to enjoy my dinner; the Prevaritron says the waiter wasn't lying when he said the lobster is flown in fresh."
"You bastard !"
"You're telling the truth now !""

Sounds like a bunch of dorks to me.

If they implant antennas, then does that transform them into antennae ?

Would still be a single-cell organism (granted, a colony of copies of that cell) trying to pass on their genetic material :z

I thought your social network consisted of your laptop, Visual Studio, the coffee machine, and the programmable fridge you bought for Christmas?

Actually I've become frightfully social over the past year. Even started playing guitar in clubs around town.
