Well.... I don't like to be rude to Americans because I've worked
with a lot of them... but here goes....
I've got so used to seeing people over here rolling around laughing
under the tables in their own houses after hearing about NT and
windows screw ups that I can't remember the last time that anyone
I'veseen (at home-social environment) who took the U.S Navy seriously
at all. That's without drinking anything ! I came across one
particular sys admin bloke a few years back who had to be treated in
(psychiatric) hospital after finding out about security breaches with
windows systems in the U.S. military. He couldn't stop laughing.
Let's face it you can't argue with the quality of the weapons
systems though.
Sorry to upset everyone so much :(
Cheers.
