One of the more significant inventions

Of course, bank transactions have been over modems for a long time - synchronous modems. (The 'frame world is really completely different than the UNIX world, all the way down to the bare idea of a global clock. I sort of miss 'frames.)

So who makes good hardware modems these days? - (lincoln) - (4) - Dec. 30, 2002, 10:22:12 AM EST

USR has been trouble-free for me. Pricey though. - (Another Scott) - Dec. 30, 2002, 10:41:04 AM EST

USR still makes great modems... - (folkert) - Dec. 30, 2002, 11:30:28 AM EST

I've spent an unreasonable amount of thought on the line Janet sings in Rocky Horror: "His lust is so sincere". Now, on the surface, that's a big "DUH!" because that's the nature of lust. But wait: Brad has earlier sung about how hot he is for her, and it's pretty clear he's just being conventional. Brad's lust is not sincere.

Now, I could swill green mead and gnaw raw meat with sincere lust. As for kimchee and lutefisk, well, those would be just for effect. And if I'm just going for effect, I might as well wear a tie. And pants.
