| 11:30 | <Ms2ger> | Only in the UK, commanders of nuclear-missile submarines need to listen to the radio to decide whether they should nuke Russia |
| 11:32 | <jgraham> | That was less silly than it sounded I think |
| 11:32 | <jgraham> | Well insofar as anything involving nuclear submarines isn't silly |
| 11:32 | <Ms2ger> | Even if they had to listen to "Today" on Radio 4? |
| 11:33 | <jgraham> | Yes, I heard the story :) |
| 11:33 | <Ms2ger> | Good :) |
| 11:33 | <jgraham> | They basically had to ensure that the BBC was still broadcasting |
| 11:33 | <jgraham> | Presumably one has to do that quite deliberately in a submarine |
| 11:34 | <jgraham> | if (!recieved_orders && bbc_not_broadcasted_for_3_days) {use_prewritten_orders()} |
| 11:35 | <Ms2ger> | I guess it's good the BBC didn't strike for three days |
| 11:35 | <jgraham> | Presumably in that case you would fail the first clause in the "if" :) |
| 11:38 | Philip` | was more worried about the story that nuclear submarine missiles could be launched by Ice Warriors without any official authorisation |
| 13:03 | <gsnedders> | What I can't imagine is being the commanding officer, opening the letter of last resort, and being informed I need to use my own judgement. |
| 13:04 | <gsnedders> | "Gee, that letter helped a lot." |
| 13:04 | <Ms2ger> | Let's... Eh, I never liked Egypt, let's nuke Egypt |
| 13:12 | <gsnedders> | Well, at least they don't have 192 warheads abord anymore… |
| 14:36 | <oal> | I remember seeing something about gzip support for websockets a long time ago. Any news on that? |

| 21:26 | <zcorpan> | MikeSmith: i don't understand the resolution for https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6301 |
