But in a normal knock, people also say something like "5 seconds", and the door stays open for 5 seconds, while the King is speaking. So his potential super-secret guests stop talking for 5 seconds.

The trick is to knock and say "5 minutes". The King answers, and then goes back to his secret meeting with Charles the Great about invading Iraq, but the door remains open for 5 minutes. Most of the time you just overhear him commenting on American Idol though.

I would like an answer to that too. My work is taking me everywhere around the world (I love that), plus my family and friends are all over Europe, and I use my free time to travel even more (because I love that). I have been doing this for the last two years, but when my contract ends next year I think I will try to get into something more stable precisely for the reasons you are talking about.

Since it is a very special place I was wondering if the guards were selected on a very special basis.

Thank you for your answer. And thank you very much for doing all this!

I have no idea how these things work in the US army. How were you chosen/selected to work as a guard in Guantanamo?

But remember that these big websites see hundreds (or more) people logging in and out all the time so it would be very easy to get someone's password.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, but I suspect they also do much more than managing logins. Is 10% of the RAM typically dealing with passwords? 1%?

People talk about these random pieces of information, that could potentially be passwords, but what's the probability that there are passwords in the RAM at the moment someone checks it?
