Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My eyes! My eyes!

I feel ill....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Quick! Someone change the topic! USB buttplugs, maybe?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Hey, there's a reason they're called "thumb drives"....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

We've mentioned that the little personal USB massager skeeves me, right? Because the fact that USB provides power does not mean that we must treat it like a cigarette lighter, which is being used for its original...okay, maybe not.

But really, it could be USB anything. The mind boggles.

You know, if you could get a web app to control it ...

OMG. I laughed so loud in my office that people stopped and looked at me.

Of course, I cannot explain what I was laughing at.

No butt plugs that I know of, but there is this.

Does that just turn on when you plug it in? or is it software controlled from, say, a remote location?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

My mind is failing to grasp an elementary security principle. Client has router with NAT firewall built in. New DSL service rents DSL modem that is integrated with hub for attaching workstations - no firewall included. DSL provider wants to use crossover cable to attach workstation port on DSL hub to workstation port on router with firewall. Why does putting the DSL modem (with no firewall) connecting directly to the outside world inside the firewall not constitute a gaping security hole?

Previously the router had a cable modem attached to the WAN port. With that arrangement (as I understand it) The cable modem was outside the firewall, the workstations were inside the firewall. Maybe this is my false premise.
