My parents raised five childern. We had guns in the house the entire time, they were loaded even and accessable. Not once did we ever have an incident of one of us "playing" with the guns unsupervised.
My father's philosophy is that every gun should be loaded. We were taught this because he felt that all gun accidents happened because the person thought the gun was unloaded. We all knew the guns were loaded and were taught to respect them. None of us ever thought guns as toys for as long as we can remember.
If we wanted to handle one of them, we would ask my mother or father and they would get the gun, unload it and teach us how to operate it. We all went to the shooting range and learned how to shoot from a young age.
As much as i disagree with other aspects of my parents' child raising philosophies, I have to say that their handling of guns worked. I know of other families that used similiar methods, and none of these families ever had a problem that I know of. From my own expirence, I can say that having guns in the same house as children is no more harmful than any other dangerous object (knives, power tools, electrical outlets, lawnmowers, cars). It just takes proper parenting.

Only because that "poor sap" was a complete idiot.
The army actually had a wide range of working small nuclear reactors of various sizes. They stopped only because the Vietnam war sucked up all the available money and there wasn't funds left over to continue non-war related research.
Most of us learn our jobs, but there always those select few... As less and less senior people decide to stay in they start promoting faster and faster and the average expirence level lowers...
I wish we only took 100 people underway with us...it would give us a lot more room.

Actually, we're all f*cking crazy. Just think of the people who join the Navy (or any branch for that matter). At least 3/4 of people who join do so right out of college because they
1 could not afford college 2 could not finish college (too much partying, etc.) 3 could not get accepted to a college
You would be very worried if you got to see the kind of people I work with...

You would be correct for every nuclear boat _except_ the NR-1. It's tiny. It is more cramped than the WWII era boats.
Unfortunately, each app has its own incompatible concept of a 'user identity.' Is this not the exact problem PAM was designed to fix? Most applications today can be made PAM-aware, then you can any method you want to store security information (names passwords, priviladges, etc.)
You can't really blame people from messing this up. The hard drive companies caused this when they decided that megabytes and gigabytes were based on powers of 10, just to make their drives look bigger.
However, if someone can only do a shitty emulation of my job, but has the job only because he is cheap, don't pretend he is doing my job.
If this is possible then either the company didn't need you to do the job in the first place, or they will learn that they were wrong the hard way. Companies that the right people for the job will prosper, and those who try to get by with "shitty emulations" will suffer; the free market will allow it to work out in the long run.
I would point out that my x86 system can encode at triple real time single pass and just over real time 2 pass, but maybe the fact that it is a dual athalon MP system is cheating.
I guess the question: is can any worm find a target to attack that will include enough hosts to successfully control the internet? One of the techniques it mentions is blackholing computers that it can't infect. I thought that a lot of routing is done by hardware routers. It would have also somehow infect those as well to be successful.

We went from probably the bast COB on the waterfront to an HMCM. How's that for a letdown?
Think "hospital clean"
We don't get pro pay. Coners get fined $100 per month for being stupid. :)
I bet you didn't have an HMCM as a cob...

I hate that. You never get the smell out of your clothes. I hate the fact that people can tell where I work based on the smell...
On shore, but if you are deployed with a battlegroup and spend 16 hours/day at PD, then RM's are quite busy.
Damn--is this place overrun with squids or what?
You noticed that too?
ELT's have the best job on the boat. You can never find them: they're either in the rack at sea or gone by 9:00 in port...
I wouldn't go so far as to say that a 688 has proper air purifers...
I suppose your experence depends on your rate. The workload varies quite a bit depending on who you compare...
Also if you were in back during the cold war, things were a lot different then.

But too much of the US stuff is just mass manufactured blurb without caracter.
Don't worry, many people here in the US feel the same way.
