  1. Re:Here's a historical (unknown) point-of-interest on FOIA'd Documents Give Tour of Minuteman Missile National Historic Site (muckrock.com) · · Score: 1

    I worked on this weapon system on an Electro-Mechanical Team. I recall one Capsule Jockey (that was our nickname for the officers in the control facilities - a lot of them seemed to have physical education degrees) telling us how he was able to figure out how to turn both keys with the aid of a broom handle. He started to demonstrate, but we told him we didn't need to see him do it. So I can neither confirm nor deny that a single person could turn both keys.

    What jumped out at me was that BillG says he uses the Khan videos WITH his kids. Kudos on the parenting, Bill.

  5. Re:That title makes me cringe. on Nanopillar Solar May Cost 10x Less Than Silicon · · Score: 1

    If no one else will, then I'll write the ECR: "10x Less" should be "5x binary shift right"

  6. Cringely Tale on What To Do When a Megacorp Wants To Buy You? · · Score: 1

    Robert X. Cringely has a tale about Neokast which turned down a nice offer many moons ago. Just something to ponder over:

  7. Re:brilliant or dangerous? on Are Quirky Developers Brilliant Or Dangerous? · · Score: 1

    I like your justification for not having Jim do his own documentation. However, I've found doing my own documentation is where I always find a cleaner/better/faster way of doing things. And, I usually document the day after I've written something because it helps me see improvements much clearer.

  9. Re:I didn't know Feinstein was a Republican.... on Senator Diane Feinstein Trying to Kill Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    I believe what you have just proven is that there is indeed a difference between a scientific theory and a theory one pulls out of their @ss. Well done.
