  4. Re:Coincidence? on Air Force Suspends Cyber Command Program · · Score: 1

    Where I work (contract company to gov't), our standards are a bit more strict. No standard network/classified network wiring/ports/equipment to be closer than 4'. The only thing they allow that bridges this are specified KVM switches, so one monitor/keyboard/mouse can be used. Not sure why the military is so lax

    I just glued on some balsa fins to some C-6 engines and sent them up. They weren't very stable and would tend to flip over about 50' up. Fun thing was having a circle of folks around the launch site and try not to hit anyone.

    Any of ya'll realize just how big of a fireball a quart of gasoline, poured over a wasp nest, will make?

    Luckily, I was able to put out the fire (tree and the house) and we had some touch up paint in the garage. Only thing dad said, a few days later, was to wonder why the leaves on that tree were wilting.

    ...tiger taunting becomes a sport

    And next up, the being eaten by a crocodile event!

    Never realized that equestrian are only events involving more than just athletes. They really don't fit in with the other Olympic events. 'Course, neither do clothes, but that's just my prurient interests.

    Still, gotta' love a name like Slobber Knocker.
