When I played I used to cringe when people recited the lore of the game. I just kept thinking, "The lore is just an excuse to shove another weird looking group in the game for us to kill."
Beagle Bros always had their "one liner challenge" for AppleSoft Basic. People would send in their best programs that would fit in a single 255 char line for the Apple II. Folks did some pretty impressive things in that tiny space, mostly with some very educational memory tricks.
We had an Apple II (then IIe) and my dad subscribed to Nibble magazine. This was also the glory days of Byte magazine and Beagle Bros. Every month I'd take the magazine and type in the programs in it. Then I'd spend hours debugging my code for typos. In the process I learned about program flow, subroutines, memory location calls, etc. It was better than any programming class I've had.
I wonder if they happened to leave some systems connected to the internet that had designs with some, umm, "flaws" built into them. Like the bogus chips that failed catastrophically on the USSR Siberian gas pipeline. A honey pot for the Chinese.
I'm not shocked that they'd have problems with people in a very stressful yet very boring job with little likelihood of ever being called on to do anything. Not to mention a big dose of moral self-doubts.
Time to retire silo'd missiles anyway. They are a relic of the past.
If you are physically disabled enough to require a device like a Segway odds are your legs don't function well enough to keep you standing either so you'll need a wheelchair after all.
Funny how people will spend thousands on something like this or on a riding mower then spend lots of money on gym memberships to walk on a treadmill for hours.
I guess government sponsored and press-fueled hysteria hasn't reached this part of the world yet. If this had happened in the lower 48 they'd be discussing potential links to terrorist groups on Fox News.

Plus you can resell it at the auction house.
More like "A screaming match breaks out on Teamspeak after the loot master gives all the raid winnings to his buddies."
I'm just very impressed that people were able to infer the structures of these molecules indirectly without ever being to see them directly.
I poop information!
Please, just install it. No you can't examine the source code. Just run it. It'll be ok...
People never seem to learn that security requires people buying into it. If you shove it on them it will fail.

Of all the things India needs to spend money on right now I'd put this near the bottom of the list.
...and people returning from fireworks displays or setting off firecrackers, returning from hunting trips, anyone from Kentucky...
