    1. @ceruleanspark Who, in his right mind, uses jQuery for a missile guidance system? Not saying jQuery is bad but... what?

      1. @omni A missile guidance system is kind of like a web-app. Right?

      2. @omni I like how the code has nothing to do with missiles either. (As best as I can tell, it's scanning the DOM of a webpage for particular tags.)

        1. @bitshift It is clearly searching for the oft used <terrorist> tag

    2. @ceruleanspark The fact someone is using a Thinkpad to guide heavy weapons?

      1. @eaglehooves I wouldn't trust any OTHER brand of laptop.

        1. @ceruleanspark I wouldn't trust any. Oops. Wifi lag. Sorry about the friendly fire!

          1. @eaglehooves You...do realise that radio controlled munitions have been a feature of modern military action for decades now, right?

            1. @ceruleanspark True, but a laptop you can buy off the internet seems a like a little bit of a weak link. I've had bad experiences with Thinkpads. Something ruggedized with a better antenna would be more what I had in mind, even if it would work.

              1. @eaglehooves Nasa seems to think they're OK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThinkPad#Use_in_space

                1. @ceruleanspark Apparently space puts less stress on them than undergrads do. Every one I've ever worked on has had some weird issue.
