Apologise?  Surely you must know that any serious UNIX security type is
heavily armed at all times.  Don't get us started on weaponary, whatever
you do.  I remember the last thread on this that went on for _months_:

    "When I switched from guncotton to standard ball powder on my .223 loads,
     the gas ports on my M16 would clog like you wouldn't believe.  Steer clear
     of that stuff."

    "You haven't cleared an ejection port jam until you've cleared one in
     the Hill district at 4:00 AM on a Saturday morning."

    "I want to mount an M60 in front of the sun roof of my Tercel, but
     the mounting bracket wasn't drilled for import cars. How did Josh
     Bloch do his?"

    "What exactly are those special 'conference rounds' that Newell hand loads
     before AAAI every year?"

    "Some of my friends at the MIT AI Lab don't like M203's because the
     grenade launcher adds too much weight, but I wouldn't have gotten
     out of IJCAI-85 in one piece if it hadn't been for those 40mm flechette
     rounds.  What do you think?"

    "Does the 'reasonable person principle' cover hosing down a member
     of the Soar project after he's used the phrase 'cognitively plausible'
     for the fifteenth time in a 20 minute conference talk?"


And don't even _think_ of saying 9mm to Marcus Ranum.
