Upping The Softmodem Code Bounty -- To $20,000

If this is successfully completed, we'll have a completely universal driver for any kind of winmodem without any proprietary code which result in all sorts of kernel version problems." Here's the full text of the announcement and conditions.
MMmmmmm....
toast.
I'll have marmalade on mine, please. Preferably Chiver's Old English.

The word is 'effectiveness'... and you're a prententious (and/or rich) asshole who obviously doesn't have to write code for a living.
For 20 big ones I can get very, very interested! Sadly for me, I don't know how to write signal processing code for modems.
I appologize if this opinion contradicts your utopian vision of software development nirvana.

Ok, here ya go: Forget straight razor for obvious reasons. Drop the
idea of the beard trimmer. The cutting head can actually snag the
folds of your scrote and nick it quite painfully. Shaving "lotions"
and after shaves have one thing in common; alcohol. Dip your nads in
alcohol and report back. You will quickly see why this is a Bad Idea.
What you really need, aside from determination and patience, is a
couple of plain ol' disposable razors (a couple because they do tend
to dull rather quickly on the coarser hair) and baby oil or an alcohol
free hand creme (like Jergens).
Use your usual lathering agent, although I've found the stuff that you
squeeze from a tube and have to froth with a brush works excellent,
and lather your jewel sac. Here's the fun part, grab yer scrote where
it meets the base of your choad and squeeze to tighten the nuts in
your sac. Get a good grip, you won't damage anything, and get the skin
taut. Take your razor, lay it gently on the skin and stroke lightly
without applying too much downward pressure, preferably against the
grain of growth. Use short strokes. Repeat and change razors as
necessary. *Don't* try to rush it.
If you have unusually long ball hairs, it's advised you take the extra
time to trim 'em down *carefully* with scissors to simplify things.
The reason you want the skin tight, is so that the razor won't find
purchase within the nooks and crannies often found in the usual scrote
and make you wince with the nicks and cuts you'll get otherwise.
After your sac is as smooth as you like it, rince off the excess
lather with a hot towel, then apply your creme/lotion really well,
allow to absorb for a short amount of time, wipe away excess and
admire. Let your fuck-mate admire. Call your neighbours to admire.

I have had a server colocated at Alex's ISP, http://www.acedsl.com/ for a little over a year, and had my DSL from them when I was living in NYC. Good company, good people, reasonable prices for static IPs and upstream bandwidth. I highly recommend them.
