Blair was a Minuteman nuclear missile launch officer in the 1970s, and regularly ran through simulations in which he and his colleagues launched up to 50 missiles at the Soviet Union.
To launch a Minuteman in those days, one had to "unlock" the missile by dialing in a code -- the equivalent of a safety catch on a handgun. However, Blair reports, the U.S. Strategic Air Command was worried that a bunch of sissy safety features might slow things down. It ordered all locks set to 00000000 -- and in launch checklists, reminded all launch officers like Blair to keep the codes there. "So the 'secret unlock code' during the height of the nuclear crises of the Cold War," Blair says, "remained constant at 00000000."

Oldest original post date, or oldest last reply date?

This thread used to brag to all the other threads about the record it held. Then Gordon came along and ruined it. For no reason. Gordon hates threads. Racist.

So the only way to stay the oldest thread is to not be posted in and not be noticed, but once it does get posted in to point out it's the oldest thread it no longer ...
... shit, I just lost The Game.
