BB's were used as ground fire support in Nam (a co-worker once told me an apocryphal story about a call for fire that got routed to a BB), but other than showing the colors, they really haven't done anything else since.

I *LOVED* that box, and wish I had tried to purchase it after they removed the classified media and decommissioned it. The thing was a frickin' tank, with a steel enclosure.

Dammit! You beat me to it!!!!
Niven and Pournelle got it right!!!!!
You have to have the branes to figure it out yourself...
You just set up the computer controlling the experiment to create a bunch of zombie processes. They'll eat the branes...
Yep. In the days before Fry's, the Shack was the place to go for components.
Then they decided to become Best-Buy-wannabees.
I didn't really look closely. It just immediately jumped out at me.

Maybe it should wipe out the Klingons, then.
Coming to Netflix this fall: "Systemd is the new EMACS"
Dude, at least RTFS.
That's what Wilson NC did. They asked the inumbents to build out and give a quote.
The big boys told them to go to hell. At which point, they decided to build out their own.
My take: "Those who have never seen anything different happy with status quo".
Demographic: 18-29. That means that they were between 5 and 16 when 9/11 happened. These kids grew up with "ZOMG!!! 3VIL TERRORIZTS!!!!!"
