300 baud? What's that? 300 bards perhaps..

Maybe I should feed the hamster again...

Could be a java script out of date problem, although Minecraft has been working fine, I use noscript but activated all scripts that it blocked for that page, could just be that it doesn't like noscript, some sites are like that.

"Implement confidence reporting!"
"Missile warning, this is Beale, stand by for confidence reporting."
"SSCO no malfunction"
"Missile warning no malfunction."
"Missile warning, this is Beale, confidence is high, I repeat confidence is high."
"I want to confirm...is this an exercise? Roger...copy...this is not an exercise!"



Actually...when I first saw that modem I thought of Wargames.

Anyway, TLAM, when that phone was around I would have thought it would be NEACP still, not NAOC?

I thought it was the other way around but a little digging shows you are right.

I was watching "The Sum of All Fears" not too long ago so the term "NAOC" is sort of stuck in my head for what that plane is called...

Gotta love that film. Particularly the Backfire raid. Very RSR.

Anyway, me, right? Don't worry, I'll try not to do it again...
