US Military Uses Spam, Internet Explorer
chundo writes "CNN reports that the United States government has been secretly encouraging the defection of senior Iraqi officials via email. Iraq is responding by shutting down some of their internet gateways to prevent these emails from getting through, forcing the US to find alternate means to deliver the message. Maybe they should have enlisted this guy - emails from him keep showing up in my inbox no matter what I do." This story about the growing military network bandwidth crunch shows the U.S. military trying hard to get every soldier online, all the time.

US Military Uses Spam, Internet Explorer. My tax dollars are paying for that?

Most of the time, anti-MS bias shows up in the form of real articles about MS.
Now, you guys are resorting to simply adding MS related words to article titles so that the anti-MS Slashdot readers will actually read the article.
I can just see the next few article titles:
"Saddam kills millions - M$"
"Iraq ignites oil wells, again...Windoze"
"Scud missle kills General - Gates Blamed"
If they're so dumb as to think they could possibly win a war against the US, UK, and every other Allied force, then I say let them go up in flames with the rest of Saddam's "elite" Republican Guard forces.
I watched a detailed documentary on the Persian Gulf War that took place back in 1991, and we totally dominated Hussein's crew. In fact, Schwartzkopf seriously overestimated the Iraqi forces, and 3 out of 4 Iraqi soldiers surrendered without a fight. Over 70,000 Iraqi soldiers walked miles and miles in one of the longest surrender lines ever. US and UK forces were smiling the entire time because it was like taking candy from a baby.
We didn't even finish killing all of Hussein's Republican Guard troops because Bush called the war off after pictures of how terribly we eliminated the Iraqis showed up on TV. There were thousands of charred bodies all over the place. We hit a carpool of hundreds of escaping Iraqi rebels who had just raided Kuwait houses and raped and piliged Kuwaiti citizens.
Iraq got what they deserved then, but they got off easy in the end. This time, Saddam and his regime will be finished forever.

American arrogance???
Dude, yeah muslims are havin a hard time here, no doubt about it, but you can't hold all of us responsible for the actions of a few idiots..
America is a melting pot, sometimes it gets good people, sometimes bad people come in to the country, and sometimes they're just born here. Yet we allow them all to live and work here why?
Because as a whole, the US is the most tolerant country towards cultural differences. The only thing we don't tolerate is anything that is a human rights violation, then we step in.
Back in the 50's southern US states had a lot of clanspeople that were running around burning crosses and lynching african americans. Back then the KKK had lawers, doctors, and politicians in its ranks, but after 50 years of stamping them out, the KKK has been reduced to the white trailer park trash you see on jerry springer today.
See, we americans hate seeing people get picked on. We put the bullies in their places.
Anyways, don't hate the whole for a few bad apples. In case you're wondering, my family immigrated here in 1914 from sicily, and yes the newcomers always get picked on. My father and uncles were called dago wops by people back in the 50's, but that sort of public degredation no longer happens here without a lawsuit.
Why would I look at Germany's domain to see what Iraq's internet domain was? Wouldn't it make more sense to look up Iraq directly? Like I did before I posted?
.cn, even though the name in Chinese 'Zhong Guo'.
Anyway, China's domain is
autopr0n is like, down and stuff.
