Having an account with the Google-acquired GrandCentral and a free dial-in number from the kick-ass Skype alternative known as the Gizmo Project – you can combine the two to get unlimited, and more importantly free, incoming calls.
You will notice that in order to get a free number from the Gizmo Project you will have to settle on Nevada area code 747. This limitation is squashed by GrandCentral’s offering of a wide range of call-in area codes – also for free.
You will also notice that GrandCentral is in Beta and is only accepting a limited number of people. I would recommend you sign up as soon as possible if you want Google to send you the invite. Alternatively, I have some to give away if you contact me at ‘karmarogue {at} gmail {dot} com’.
Bottom line: no matter where you and your computer are, you will be able to receive incoming phone calls for free.

“While being skeptical can be a healthy way to avoid getting taken advantage of, being pessimistic – that is, always assuming the worst – can have major negative consequences on your life. Seeing only the negative aspects of any situation can cause you to miss opportunities, neglect problems that need to be solved, and fail to take action that would otherwise improve your relationships and quality of life. If you’ve always had a pessimistic worldview, it can be difficult to shift your focus, but it is possible to start seeing the glass as half full.”

One Kotaku contributor has figured out how to style and profile in his Legendary Halo 3 helmet. Before you say: “What’s the point?” if you have a girlfriend at least ask her whether she’d be interested in banging Master Chief!
