EMP - ElectroMagnetic Pulses. This is the electrical
wave that is the
result
of a nuclear detonation. Vacuum tubes aren't the
only way to "harden" a
curcuit against this. The usual and practical way to protect against this
is
to armor the electronics and all connecting cables. I
worked with the Short
range Attack Missile (SRAM), Air Launched Cruise Missile (ALCM), Sea
Launched Cruise Missile (SLCM) and Advanced Cruise Missile (ACM) for many
years. I'm all too familiar with using a megohm meter to check resistance
between the body and covers of equipment made to protect against EMP.
Vacuum
tubes are good at a distance.
Anyone seen
Goldeneye? ;-) So that part about the MiG's crashing and that
helicopter not... fake?
I wouldn't
care to run a business with a Russian built computer though...
I'm starting to wonder about Taiwan made as well....

One of the Bond/Bond type movies showed a group jamming an air lauched cruise
and running them into the water where they retreived them. While they had the
"W80" marking on the warhead correct, the idea of causing a missile that's
preprogrammed and using radar as a backup or enhancement to navigation is BS
too.
Not on topic some of you say? How do you think these missiles get around?
Computers! Not classic? The SRAM was built in the era of 1972-74 and developed
in the late 60's. I think this qualifies, although not a computer many of us
want to collect.

New subject: James Willings still up?
For nearly a week, have anyone seen James Willings's postings or in
private emails between anyone?
Thanks,
I'm bit worried.
His website is down also, checked today.

No, contrary to popular belief (and random hopes) I have not fallen off the
edge of the world...
My local ISP got hit with a large scale 'warez' attack a couple of days ago
and is still recovering... And of course that puts me just that much
further behind in my mail... (and other things...)
I'm still here, just trying to catch up!

Forgive me for not knowing what _might_ be common knowledge amongst some
folks here, but what is this "warez" thing?? I guess I don't hang around in
any online areas, etc. which would have clued me in. Just a brief
explaination, please, or even a pointer to an info source. No need to take
up much bandwidth on this.
Judging from Jim's statement, these are possibly individuals who have taken
the good old, original 'hacker' expression and turned it into something
truely bad? Glad you're still around, Jim.

Well, now that Kai has had his fun --
"Warez attack" or "warezbomb" refers to the charming habit of storing
vast
amounts of pirated software by uploading it to inconspicuous public ftp
directories of ISP's, then tipping off selected people that it's there.
Happened to me -- that is, CHAC -- and we just had to amputate the directory.

Check out Wired 5.04...there's a fantastic story entitled "Warez Wars" on
the Mad Hatter and the Inner Circle...
Pretty cool.
