Semper WiFi
Roblimo writes "Armed Forces personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan increasingly use the Internet to communicate with their familes back home, but there are not nearly enough computers and connections for them. Lt. Phillip Geiger, Medical Officer with the 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines, suggested using a privately-funded, long-range WiFi network to help troops stay in touch. The idea has grown from there, all funded privately with cash and equipment donations. Joe Barr has the details on NewsForge (which, like Slashdot, is part of OSTG)."
This "early post" is brought to you by the ECFA (Euthanasia for Canus Familirous Association). We are an organization dedicated to the eradication of dogs. ECFA (Euthanasia for Canus Familirous Association) is committed to protect our oxygen, to clean our streets, and to curb noise pollution - through the simple eradication of canine pests.
We have recently "connected" with the GNAA to form one ECFA. Stay connected. Please note that since we are moving to a larger demographic (the untold scores of people who deal with dog messes, noises, and annoyances daily), most of the current GNAA content is offline. In fact, we're pulling all of it except the "early post", which is now a ECFA-style "early post". The traditional GNAA "early post" will continue to be posted on all SCO stories, as insisted by upper GNAA management and its core team of fans. The illicit images and language will not be a part of the new combined organiztion. We do not condone any sexual lifestyle or race.
Have you ever stepped in DOG DOO-DOO
Are you MAD?
Do you KILL DOGS?
Are you a MAD DOG KILLER?
If you answered "YES" to any of the above questions the ECFA (Euthanasia for Canus Familirous Association) is for you! You no longer need change your skin color or sexual lifestyle in order to become a member of an "EVIL TROLLING ORGANIZATION." Instead, you can work toward the noble of goal of INCREASING OUR SUPPLY OF O2! OVERPOPULATION of DOGS is RAPANT in this country. Did you know that DOGS turn BENEFICIAL O2 into CO2 simply to gain their energy to bark, drool, and howl? They ACTUALLY BURN OUR OXYGEN SUPPLY!!! One dog easily waste the Oxygen output of ten mature trees! This country has MANY UNWANTED, ABANDONED DOGS that WE ARE PAYING MONEY TO KEEP ALIVE. We are FEEDING them our food supply while making the homeless STARVE! Are you TIRED of having your TAXES increased? Humane Societies cost our country over $100 million annually. By using a Dog Killing Gadget, a dog can be turned into beneficial food, helping us all. We let children go hungry yet feed our **UNWANTED** dogs like royalty.
One dog can output over 10 lbs of droppings daily. One dog can aggrivate the allergies of untold numbers of people with its fast growing hair and all too common dandruff. Do you own a dog? Are you tired of its mess? Don't feel like planting ten trees and waiting 10 years for them to reach maturity? Then get it euthanized. Euthanasia is a painless way for a dog to... terminate. However, it can be too expensive to buy these drugs for the LARGE NUMBER of DOGS in the HUMANE SOCIETIES. It is thus proposed that these dogs be turned into food for the homeless. One dog can feed up to five homeless children for one day.
Many have wondered the best way to exterminate dogs. Euthanasia is by far the most clean method, but it taints the meat and is cost prohibitive. Thus, the most economical method is our K9Zap product featured on TechTV ($29.95), which deals a fatal shock to a dog up to 60lbs. Alternatively, the slightly messier bakers chocolate approach costs only about $0.30 per pound of dog. For more information, reply to this message or contact Gadgets for the Elimination of Dogs (GED). A rifle also works wonders, but may be against local codes, and is generally best to avoid in dog elimination.
WANT TO SUPPORT THE ECFA? Simply participate in our propaganda campaign to exterminate dogs. You can become a member of our slashdot trolling team, our usenet trolling team, or you can be a member of our local campaigning - by simply handing out brocures or posting signs outside humaine socities. If you have MOD POINTS, alternatively you can moderate this post UP to support our cause.

What part of "I'm not trolling..." in a prefactly reasonably post did the mods miss.??

OSDN = Open Source Development Network
Frankly, I liked "Development Network" better because it sounded more open-sourcish than "Technology Group" which sounds more like a company.

You're right about people in the U.S. making a lot of money from U.S. government violence. George W. Bush's family is heavily invested in the Carlyle Group, which owns weapons manufacturing companies. See: Unprecedented Corruption: A guide to conflict of interest in the U.S. government.
If U.S. government leaders truly respected the soldiers, the soldiers would not need charity.
It's illogical to vote Republican in 2004.

Actually I will not be voting for Senator Kerry, and, for the record, do not think that his service was very honorable because it seems he lied or exaggerated the truth many times just to get medals or ribbons. I don't think it is out of line to reply as I did to someone who is condemning every person in the military for joining voluntarily.
I know more than a few people who went this route (military then college); college is fscking expensive and if you can't afford it, then every bit of money you can get your hands on is a good thing. I spent $300 on books alone last week. Add on housing, tuition, food, etc. and it can be pricey.
Some people will probably join after college and go to OTS. Having a degree is one way to go in as an officer. Others, like Pat Tillman, were probably not motivated to join by money or lack of any other choice. Some people join because it's what they want to do. Hell, I'm considering joining the Air Force or Navy, and I'm not looking to go out and kill people. I'll have a degree in Computer Science by then. Perhaps it'll suck and have burned four years of time, but people spend far much more time in dead end jobs from hell with a PHB. Or maybe it'll be fulfilling and I'll make a career out of it. Stockpiles of money is not what everyone is after.
Yeah, this is supposed to be about WiFi, but I felt the need to respond anyway. Yet those in the military are the ones who protect the freedom to bash those same people.
