There's a few ways around this, using more modern technology, such as frequency hopping transmitters (if the frequencies are apart enough, the enemy RX won't be able to grab them all). Also, data burstable transmitters are generally the norm these days, as they are less of a security threat. Also, other mediums could be used, such as light/infra-red/ultra-violet line of site transmitters. This stuff's in the development stage, but I work with it directly, and I must say, it's pretty cool...
Hmm. I don't understand your dislike of the military. It's a necessary item. A country having a military is no different from a large corporation having a security branch. It's required to protect the interests of the corporation. How long would a country remain sovereign if they had no form of protecting that interest? I agree that the military isn't set up as effectively as it could be. Upper management tends to change their focus on other items they deem important. The fact of the matter is that the military is (supposed to be) nothing more than a lock on the door of your country. You don't leave your home unsecured, do you?
Perhaps a software version could be implemented in the next release of Slashcode, with the setting 'troll'.
In all honesty, I don't see these types of weapons taking off quickly or easily. The military (of which I am a member) has utilized firearms for how long? And refined them how much? They've proven reliable in the most extreme conditions, don't require power supplies, etc. I'm all for technology, but cars still use round wheels and not hover devices (yet).
Will they come with a swastika on them? And will there be a hard drive burning for non compliant and legacy drives? This issue is something to take heed of.
I was curious to see these uptimes on a chart, but when I went to the URL to see it, I was got a message saying the server was down. I wonder what OS it was running...;)

Try being a soldier, and carrying that weight. Any of it. Every pound becomes significant, readily...

Perhaps stories should be posted a little later in the day, when all the trolls have gone to sleep...

Man, you really need to lighten up. Or get laid.
Well, the conspiracy/privacy nuts will be happy now that the Earth has the ability to be hidden from those pesky UFO's...
If you know your drive is borderline, you should replace it...
So what's next? Pay per reboot?
No. Just the bitches.
Excellent. It's nice to see someone in the know take notice of the little guys, and the response was quick. Quantum will be getting my business...
