    Never got an e-mail about it in my Air Force days, but you'd hear about "crackdowns" every now and again. For it to be serious enough for public acknowledgment is pretty embarrassing.

    Uhm... Why don't they just have those sites blocked by the proxies?

    Reading the memo, I wouldn't be surprised if it was sexting going on, moreso than actual porn sites.

    Oh great! not only are we on planet Earth concerned those trigger happy men may one day get drunk and high and accidentally blow up the planet because the office Xbox broke down, but now we also want them to be sexually frustrated to boot?

    The military/govt has been over the top when it comes to anything remotely related to nuclear since some dudes in 08 ed up by flying a bomber loaded with nukes over the US. The crew didn't even know they had it.

    To be fair, being over the top about an incident like that is probably an appropriate reaction.

    Yeah but Howie played for the Raiders and you've pretty much just got to laugh it off and accept that those guys are going to be knuckleheads from time to time. Besides, all he tried to do was steal some nuclear weapons. It's not like he was running a bounty program or anything.

    Haha yeah. I was actually in officer training at Maxwell when the Air Force bigwigs were canned. They really started being assholes to us after that.

    I'm just complaining cuz of how specific I have to be when do enting appts with peeps that have direct access to ICBMs. Its totally warranted though. Don't want someone spacing out on Vicodin and launch something haha.

    Remember all those cold war movies where nuclear missile crews are frantically dialing in the secret codes sent by the White House to launch nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles? Well, for two decades, all the Minuteman nuclear missiles in the US used the same eight-digit numeric passcode to enable their warheads: 00000000.


    That fact, originally revealed in a column in 2004 by then-president of the Center for Defense Information Dr. Bruce G. Blair, a former US Air Force officer who manned Minuteman silos, was also mentioned in a paper by Steven M. Bellovin, a computer science professor at Columbia University who teaches security architecture. Both of these sources were cited this week in an article on the site Today I Found Out written by Karl Smallwood, as well as in an article in the UK's Daily Mail.


    The codes, known as Permissive Action Links (PALs), were supposed to prevent the use of nuclear weapons—and the nuclear weapons under joint control with NATO countries in particular—without the authorization of the president of the United States. The need for such controls became clear during the 1963-1964 Cyprus crisis, when NATO members Turkey and Greece were reportedly seeking control of NATO nuclear weapons—to use on each other.

    No.

    Just some of them.

    Do you take pride in always being wrong?
