Don't know about your sig int guys in the states, but all the Aussie ones I have met (about 15 or so) are all geeks. Their answer for political reasons is of course "we don't hire geeks" but when they pull guys and gals from sig int to work their, they are getting military trained geeks.
So their plan is not to have to re-train geeks into being military personal, because they already have them.
Of course each and every one of the bastards seem to be born RTS players, tough peeps to beat 1v1, and for the love of anything holy never challenge them to a game of Hears of Iron.
Disgruntled literature students with no job prospects after 6 years of university (complete with masters, et al).
And converting all their books to ebooks, when they can't even afford a phone is going to make the problem even worse! Roving gangs of philosophy majors, terrorising honest people, breaking into homes, stealing and and all books they can get their hands on for the next "fix".
Amazon, you are an enabler, this is a terrible business model to work on.
Yeah, I have been building a TON of PCs of late with the Athelon II 635 in them, so much horsepower for so little cash, and you can throw 8G of ram at it and it will be a missile of a rig:)
A "Guerrilla threat" is only a problem if you are (or someone above you in the chain) squeamish about using high yield weapons on large areas of terrain that may or may not be populated.
Get a mega bucket of friend chicken, then start trying to put together chickens out of the bits, now, I don't know about in America, but here in Australia last time I tried this I consistently had a piece left over, when I stripped all the batter fried over it it looked suspiciously like half a rabbits hind quarter...
As for GSM, I know the feeling, perfect reception out the front of my workplace but at my desk absolutely nothing, could be its a solid brick construction and we have insulating material (the tin foil stuff) inside the walls too.
There is a point though, where on a pseudo-anonymous blog site that we know has no filtering of "naughty" things (witness the original post), where you just have to think "well fuck, he ain't saying it specifically to my face, and its not like I can change his opinion, what's the point?".
Otherwise (and I am not saying he is in this case) you will end up being troll food for a long time.
Now as someone who can suspend their political correctness to be able to appreciate a joke, yes it makes me chuckle. Also remember jokes of 1995 and earlier are beyond the statute of limitations on political correctness.
We need 2 points of informative and 3 of insightful stat!
And as someone who has spent upward of 10 years walking to work either reading a book or listening with headphones, I can say that yes, doing either is dangerous unless you use common sense and your other senses. Of course doing both at once is suicidal.

Well, its working on my 3G network here, /shrug
And I agree, don't put the music on your phone, leave that on your file server at home and just stream it via the VPN ;)
Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic.
Grab a copy of Telexy Networks software for it, and you can now sync your phone via 802.11 or even via a VPN with your data plan.
Cheap as all crap too :)
china values imitation much more than the USA does.

I thought there were apps for everything with apple products? (note heavy use of sarcasm)
Don't worry, just get one of the "32GB kingston microSD" from ebay, the screen printing is so blocky its great, shame about the failure rate though.
Why not use Ogg?
Sounds like the literary equivalent of renaming Justin Beiber tracks to Metallica and sharing them on limewire :)

Hrmm, its about to get a friend in new block, 1/1 walker for 0 colourless.

Not here, unfortunately Aus is the perfect breeding grounds for em, you can usually get paid to go out and shoot the little bastards :)
Heres a fun thing to do.

So is firefox with no-script, and it will stop the latest 0-day exploits too :)
Hehe, me three :)

Oh, and in honour of being more politically correct, I have changed my sig to a wonderful song about the acceptance of gender confused individuals.

Yup, over-sensitive people should just learn to close their eyes rather than force everyone else to conform to their narrow world view.
But I must say, that picture is neither narrow nor a world view :P
Guess!
On the other hand, if they just banned Ipods in particular, it would be funnier :)
"Oh no officer, I am listening to my Nokia phone, I didn't realise it was illegal to walk and make a phone call at the same time..."
So we should give away free Ipods and hotdogs?
FOR SCIENCE!

Ok, look down, notice you can't see your groin? This is a warning sign of an over-abundance of cookies... or you are female.
No its not, its a tablet ;)
29 cookies, really CRN.COM, is that completely required?
