Lt. Cmdr. Jeremiah Lawrence Burnside, USN: <His arms drape over the periscope handles. Massive, even ridculous, mutton chop sideburns billow out from the light guards on the scope. These are against regulation of course but he has been given a special medical exemption for his highly unusual, familial, hairy birthmarks which produce whiskers at a prodigious rate. At sea he is allowed to skip shaving them so he doesn't clog up the plumbing or even leave a trail of whiskers on the ocean surface that might lead the enemy to his boat. Of course, everyone knows about his great great grandfather who got his ass kicked. This, and the constant taunts of "Monkey-boy" during childhood left him with an incendiary desire to blow things up>

Instead, she has two big dents but appears not even to be smoking. Still, it takes a lot of Bondo to fix battleship dents. She will be gone a while.

Good night for USN subs.

Years ago, back when mainframes were multiple boxes the size of refrigerators, a server was crashing almost every night in the wee hours.

After extensive diagnosis, found the crashes due to zillions of interrupts on one particular signal overwhelming the server.

Got hardware guys involved - that particular signal comes from a particular cable, so they go to inspect the cable.

They find at one point it wrapped around a 220V HVAC cable going to the rooftop A/C units.

And SOP was for the third shift operators to run the A/C to recycle air in the computer rooms.

So I went and watched. They turned the A/C on, and within a second, server was down.

Move cables, problem solved.

Evidently, we are to be treated to a nearly simultaneous attack on Port Blair. I suspect the Jats are going in first at Ramree.

Had a similar situation with a customer in Orange County CA back in late 80s, when I worked for a computer rental company. One of our clients was complaining about a bank of monitors that worked fine during the day, but were all fuzzy/squigly when they started holding night classes. Sent a couple of replacement monitors over, and finally went out on a service call. Realized that the wall they were all lined up against held the power conduit for the outdoor lighting (which only kicked in at night). Moved them to another wall. One of my assistants wanted to tell them that these were solar-powered monitors, and try to sell an upgrade... ;)

CO: Always treat your kite like you treat your woman.

Pilot: How do you mean, sir, take her at home on weekends to meet your mother?

CO: No. I mean get inside her five times a day and take her to heaven and back!!
