please, if you dont like patches, you shouldn't use computers. unix needs patches. routers need patches. satelite tv players need patches, they just update themselves without your intervention. My Levi's need patches, but I grew up in the 80s, so i think the rips are cool

On another note, im not sure if im comforted or worried that Nuclear Engineers dont like patches I guess its good that everything should be done properly in well contained and organized builds. And while quick improvisition is higly important in other engineering fields, I can see how it would be less than desireable with nukes.

Did you know my firsat ever post to this forum was on this thread? Ahh... nostalgia... it ain't what it used to be etc etc etc.

I must be 27 or 28 by now. I can remember my borthday and everything, but my brain rarely functions in a straiht line long enough for me to work out exactly how old I am. born sep 76 if anyone feels like doing the 5 second calculation that I just can't be arsed to do for myself.

Welcome to anyone new to this thread and forum, cheers and a pint on me for everyone else.

I'm a nuke - one of those amorphous pegs whom Admiral Rickover pounded into the shape he desired to fit into his nuke navy program. Once I emerged from that service obligation (Hey! It kept me out of rice paddies!), I stayed with it as the industry allowed for a good and secure living for my young and growing family.

As can be seen from my registered date, been here for a while. Wish there'd be a SEIV Platinum or something, as I am not all that comfortable with patches and mods. I'd just like to have it all on the CD. It's one of the reasons I've not bought Gold yet, and have not gone PBW, KOTH, etc.

jim - like the mac####, on the other side of 50

Glad to see another nuc around! Latch 'em and snatch 'em. Were you on a submarine or a target ? I guess if you are talking about staying out of the paddies, it must have been one of the older subs.

On patches and MS Windows, au contraire! You see, I have the tech do it.

That is, I have someone who knows well what s/he is doing perform the operation. That also is the nuke in me talking. ;-)

I wanted to go subs. 637 class was the newest one at the time. You know, the "slow attack" class. However, the USN was scaling up for the CVNs and new CGNs, so they used various means to divert manpower flow from subs to surface. Thus, I ended up on a vessel designed to submerge only once.

I'm 25 today and making my third "yearly" post in this thread.
