Obviously, they have forgotten to ask someone who doesn't give a shit.

Redjac will next strike in 2105 on the Martian Colonies.

(Did a search and could not find the obligatory Star Trek reference in this posting.)

I have two reel to reel tape drives at 6250bpi. One with an HP-IB and the other with a SCSI-SE interface.

I used to have a 5 level baudot paper tape teletype model 28, ran at 67 WPM.

Infamous reference to Metagaming's game "Olympica" (c) 1977 top back cover subtitle:

https://whatarmy.files.wordpre...

From the back cover of the rule book:

"THE WEBBIES WANT YOUR MIND...

OLYMPICA simulates the U.N. Mars raid to capture the Web Mind Generator from a heavily defended area near Nix Olympica's massive caldera. The Webbie revolutionaries are deep in their tunnel complexes surrounded by strong points and infantry. The raiders will use infantry, laser tanks, lifters and the tunnel blasting BOAR drill. If they fail man's future may fall to the telepathic, religion/machine Web Mind of Mars.

OLYMPICA is the clever tactical creation of Lynn Willis. His future history of the Martian revolution of 2206 hinges on the crucial U.N. raid. The game is easy to learn, fast playing, and challenging. Like the other Microgames, it is ideal for beginners and fun for pros. OLYMPICA is the perfect game for those who've never tried science fiction games.

Components for the game include a 24 page rules booklet, play counters, and hex gridded map of the Nix Olympica region."

I was not aware Europe had a nuclear fleet. I thought all their ships except UK and some French submarines used other means of propulsion.

(The original was in all caps MPE JCL for FORTRAN77 but slashdot forbade the all caps, had to downshift.)

Wasn't Ireland recently bankrupt? Good for them, they could use the money.

My guess is like all shakedown gangsters, UNESCO didn't get their cut. THAT's why they're upset.

Should have stuck with your old ERP system on (my guess) an HP and saved the millions.

Stromasys has an emulator for that too.

China is one of the few countries that send convicted corrupt business executives to the firing squad.

This could be interesting.

Switched to HackMaster.

We will finally have the first men IN the Moon after all.

And will they meet the insectoid creatures called the Selenites?

My eyes must be getting bad, when I clicked this link, I thought Australia repealed a cartoon tax.

So I thought XKCD would be getting more readers.

Coupled with the other recent story about humans in the minority by year 20xx. The Insurance Companies will have a vested interest in keeping us alive forever.

In order to bill us perpetually! "And in those days men will seek death and will not find it;"

(Which also means the insurance companies will be run by women, in order to perpetually nag the men.)
