Upping The Softmodem Code Bounty -- To $20,000
Alex Pilosov writes: "I've announced a bounty for completion of softmodem code (20k$) on linmodems-discuss list. 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.
Last night at the gym, after a regular workout, we did a
little sparring. We didn't stop to put on headgear, cups,
or mouthpieces, so we were only throwing punches to the
body. The group was unusually estrogen-rich, and I wound up
trading punches with three different women.
If you try to punch a woman between the collar and waistband
with 16 oz gloves you can't help but hit tits. The fact
that the tits are part of the legitimate target area doesn't
matter. I can't bring myself to hit them.
I find my inhibitions very troubling. The women I sparred
with certainly weren't concerned about throwing punches at
*me*. Why can't I fight back?
I gave this a lot of thought and I've come to the
realization that I have, hard-wired into my brain, certain
behavior regulators. Sorta like Asimov's Three Laws of
Robotics. I call them MikeM's Three Laws of Tits:
1. Do not harm tits, nor through inaction allow tits to
come to harm.
2. Obey all orders given by tits, unless they conflict with
the first law.
3. Protect yourself, unless doing so conflicts with the
first or second law.
How do I rid myself of these laws? I want to be a better
boxer. I want to be able to punch bags. Suggestions?
