The idea of this project was to create a fully-automated sentry gun, capable of picking out a human target and accurately tracking and shooting him or her in the heart.

coderman: "I couldn't find any record of anyone building one, even the military" - the military calls them something else, and uses a vulcan type chain gun with DU rounds attached to a radar unit on ships to blast anything incoming with extreme prejudice
coderman: apparently this freaks the pilots out at times, because they see the unit tracking them with a quivering intensity, awaiting the clear to fire

The "secret homeland defense line"
posted by coderman at 2006-06-20 17:27

coderman: "For a governor with a secret hot line to the Department of Homeland Security, the only thing worse than hearing that phone ring, is answering the call and hearing:"
coderman: '"Hello! Are you satisfied with your long-distance service provider?"'
coderman: "Every time that phone rings, it's telemarketers," grumbled Gov. Ruth Ann Minner, whose secret homeland defense hot line sits in her office, ringing occasionally with offers of time share condominiums and great deals on long distance."
coderman: ""I wonder about the security of that line," said Minner -- GEEE, WONDER WHY?
coderman: "Department of Homeland Security placed all the hot line numbers on the federal government's Do Not Call Registry, which is supposed to ward off telemarketers." - LOL

Holding BBC accountable
posted by coderman at 2006-06-20 03:30

coderman: "How do you think Chris Westcott and his Direction colleagues will react to your blog?"
coderman: BBCMW] Their instinctive response would be to initiate a witch hunt - a sort of Spanish inquisition - and to blame the unions. But now that I have said this, they might try to be a little more subtl ... [ERROR, 404 NOT FOUND
