First Responder Networks 5 Years After 9/11

stinkymountain writes, "Five years after 9/11, you'd think all of the nation's first responders would be on a state-of-the-art wireless network that would enable police, fire and other emergency personnel to talk to each other in case of a disaster. But they're not -- yet. Network World ran an investigative piece sketching why progress has been so slow, and describing the progress that has been made." The article leads off with a scenario that represents the toughest possible test for a first-responder network. Even the best imaginable networked system might bog down in the midst of "fog of war" situations.

    We don't hate the government, we just hate you and what you've done to our country. And by hating you, I mean hating you PERSONALLY. You suck ass. The Conservative Corruption Club is going to pay for their crimes.

    Labelling all your enemies trolls is about as stupid as you can get, but I'm sure you're going to try to be more stupid than that.
