    You are mistaken, but I've already typed too much.

        Wrong Way is what his friends call him.

          Not in China they don't. No "R" sound in their language.

              Cool!

              Why the hell are they naming a submarine the USS Jimmy Carter? Can't the Navy have some kind of consistency these days?

                It is consistent. Important presidents get important ships, unimportant presidents get unimportant ships

                  Yeah it might seem a little odd to name a multibillion dollar Aircraft carrier after Carter..

                    Apparently Carter served on a sub as an engineer.

                      What Krill said. If someone knows how they tap into fiber optic lines, I'd like to hear it.

                              Internet traffic goes through fiber optic lines, so thankfully it is safe from eavesdropping

                                Have you been reading this thread? That's incorrect on multiple levels.
