Read. And Ph33r.

Apparently during the entire height of the Cold War, the final password one had to enter to launch an ICBM was...

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Yeah, I already saw that on Slashdot, which reminded me of the line from spaceballs.

"So the combination is one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!"

Hmmm, I was trying to decide what to watch. You just solved that dilemma for me. Thanks!

And then later on, President Brooks Skroob comes out with "One-two-three-four-five? That's amazing! That's the same combination I have on my luggage!"

Error 691: The warhead you are dialing in to cannot establish a Permissive Action Link connection. Check your password, and then try again.

I wonder if the company that makes those has a downloadable PDF of the manual that tells you how to change your default password... like those wireless routers.

I almost think it would be more interesting if one were to have changed their password instead of launching it. I suspsect someone would not be too pleased if they couldn't control their own ICBM.
