    You have to a send a message to Hungary to report a Gawker technical problem these days, right Foster?

    Well, the site's fixed now, so it looks like the carrier pigeon made it across the Atlantic OK.

    Why turn the sound down? I assumed there would be a blaring William Tell Overture or something equally cheesy. No such thing. By muting it you miss a perfect comedic "WHUMP."

    @MissNormaDesmond: Modem! My friend couriers me Gawker saved on a few cassette tapes thrice daily. I comment, re-save them, send them back to him via rickshaw, and he posts them to the web.
