FYI.

In the future, I will will be sending out a Tweet or two when working on optimizing the site database or other admin tasks which might cause site performance problems.

For example, when I optimize the database (normally on the weekend) there can be a fairly serious site slow down for around 3 to 5 minutes.

Code:
@unixlinux

Members and guests who cannot access the site and post, feel free to contact me on Twitter (or follow me) regarding the site.

However, if the site is up and running, which it is 99.99999 percent of the time, please post questions, issues, or bugs here in the forums.

In addition, I will also be posting periodic updates related to my cyberspace research there as well.

Thanks!

NAME
nuke - launch nuclear weapons at mapped USENET sites SYNOPSIS
/etc/nuke [-y yield] [-a height] [-hcm] sitename... DESCRIPTION
Nuke employs the `missile coordinate' fields in the USENET map database and Internet connections to a server interfaced with AUTOVON to lob nuclear weapons at other UNIX sites, specified by name. The default warhead is a single 25KT groundburst tac nuke; options support other combinations of warhead size, type and deployment. The -y option specifies a yield. The argument must be a number suffixed by K or M, for kiloton or megaton respectively. Yield arguments above 255M are quietly ignored. The -a option specifies an air-burst height in meters. The -h option specifies thermonuclear (hydrogen) weapons. The -c option specifies cobalt-jacketed warheads for permanent site interdiction. The -m option, useful with multiple-site nuke calls, invokes code which optimizes delivery using MIRVed warheads to minimize launches. In accordance with the normal UNIX design philosophy nuke does not prevent you from nuking yourself. FILES
/usr/lib/maps/* USENET map file database BUGS
If a target site has given only nearest-city coordinates in its map entry, incorrect targeting and significant collateral casualties may result. Heavy use of nuke may cause EMP effects which interfere with Internet service. NOTE
This command is restricted to super-users only. AUTHOR
