(Alas, I think they'll be around for a few decades more, unless someone is wicked enough to use them.)
- LeftHandPath 7y agoThis is what I was thinking as well, until I saw the “.dev” in the URL.
- spsrich2 7y agoYes he's not talking about Trident missiles.
- vardump 7y agoI thought about Trident VGA cards... thinking "they're still around!?".
- rudolfwinestock 7y agoI thought of the Trident missile, as well. Anyone who's either a member of the Baby Boom or Generation X will bear witness to the Cold War for most of the rest of this century.
