The labels on these buttons, FO, F, I, P, for Flash Override, Flash, Immediate, and Priority, directly reflected the nuclear C2 scheme at the time.
Wait... was this the inspiration for Crash Override's handle in Hackers? The more I look, the cooler that movie gets.
- SoftTalker 3y agoInteresting that there are two levels above "immediate" immediate (adj): Occurring at once; happening without delay
- gumby 3y agoIt's multiple dimensions folding down into a single vector. If a bunch of paratroopers just landed outside my facility I need immediate assistance. If what look like incoming nuclear missiles are spotted that needs to override a call about a bunch of paratroopers.
- SoftTalker 3y agoI guess I just question the naming. You have five levels of priority, but two are higher than "without delay" It's sort of like "our amplifiers go to 11."
- gumby 3y agoThere are levels of classification beyond “top secret”. Jargon need not fit the surface constraints of ordinary semantics.
