Sections 2 and 3 contain the most readable man pages out there. The pages in sections 1 and 8 are often terrible, being the result of some texinfo->man filter.
Zmodem's code is uglier than Kermit's IMO. Gods help you if you have to read either, but Kermit is written better and EK is almost understandable once you fold all unneeded #define's.
I'm surprised no-one mentioned the venerable UUCP. It has more variants than X/Y/Zmodem combined: at least 12.
The only upside of this is unbrickability. Having the boot ROM inside the CPU means you are stuck forever with whatever bugs there are in it. Been there.
Effing hilarious. Some years ago I spent a few days writing to a 'Russian bride'. It became instantly clear all replies were scripted, there was no connection at all with what I said (The full text of 'I, Robot'? Oh, what interesting things you do…). So I'd say many if not most of the spam scenarios are automated and the whole thing becomes too meta.

Being dead, he likely wouldn't.
Moral and logic (in the narrowest sense of the word) often don't go hand in hand. That having been said, your point is quite close to my own understanding.
You may be right, but as I get it, the entire American population gets to drink fluoridated tap water, not only children. A stinking Commie plot, if I ever saw one.
As a guy living in Europe, it seems more logical to drink unfluoridated water and use fluoridated toothpaste, but that's America over there… Cool idea, for sure.
