This may seem like a waste of web space, but this caught my eye while downloading a Java program:

You acknowledge that Licensed Software is not designed or
intended for use in the design, construction, operation or
maintenance of any nuclear facility.

I wonder how many other software companies have to worry about this sort of thing. Nuclear facilities? Not me.

They had just finished watching RED ALERT before they wrote the warning.

That's fairly standard boiler-plate disclaimer in the software world.

When I was in high school in the early 80's, we had what was for that time a fairly sophisticated simulation for the Apple IIe called "Three Mile Island" in my computer science class.  Basically, it was a 'game' in which you are the controller of the facility, and things start to go wrong.  Water pumps, values, electrical items, as well as stuff in the nuke part of the reactor were all things that could 'fail,' and how you responded to it affected what failed or happened next.  I never saw one single iteration of the game that did not end in core meltdown, but your 'score' was how long you kept the reactor (and nearby community) alive.

Anyway, when I first read this post, that's what I thought of.  I thought, "oh man, someone must have used TMI in a real engineering setting...."

Of course, something that was  really scary: once when I was still in Law Enforcement, after the SWAT team served a high-risk warrant on a dude, we found an original set of the blueprints for the cooling tower of the local nuke facility in the dude's couch....

Wierd the memories a simple post can invoke ....

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
