For this sort of functionality, you should look into using radio buttons. These are best suited for mutually exclusive options compared to check boxes.

However, if you need to use check boxes, you could use the following:

$(function(){
    $(".rambo").change(function(){
        $(this).siblings().attr("disabled", $(this).is(":checked"));  
    });
});​

And here is a solution which will uncheck all but the selected (like a radio button)

​$(function(){
    $(".rambo").change(function(){
       $(this).siblings().attr("checked", false);  
    });
});​
