I recently did some research into UCITA, and the law contains provisions that would allow UCITA to be applied to any transaction involving software, including this book. One of the examples used was a furniture manufacturer including a CD-Rom detailing care of a piece of furniture with the purchase of, say, a chair. Because the transaction now includes information, it falls under the juris(my)diction of UCITA. Dirty and underhanded! Virginia and Maryland should be ashamed (they passed the damn thing)!
Were you there? I was sent there for a four-month tour in '98, as part of a "peace-keeping" mission. I was attached to the NATO headquarters as an Air Force communications troop outside of Sarajevo. The captial of Bosnia, Sarajevo was subjected to nearly two years of seige by Bosnian Serbs who were backed by Milosevic. So many people died during that seige that every open space was used as graveyard. I can't tell you how many times we were thanked by the people who had to live through this for stepping in and stopping the killing. Indiscriminate killing? How does raining mortar shells on a marketplace sound? Nearly seventy people were killed when the Serbs launched that attack on a quiet Sunday morning. How dare those people try to buy bread! Yes, the US military is overused (and misused) when it comes to peacekeeping missions, but if we belong anywhere it is in the Balkans. Oh, and "Who had ever heard of Serbia or Bosnia before the wars over there?" WWI started in Sarajevo when Archduke Ferdinand was assasinated by a Serbian Facist. Some of the bloodiest fighting of WWII took place in these same Balkans, as Nazis, Communists, Allies, and Muslims fought for dominance. Learn a little history before you spout off. As a well-travelled American, I can confidently state that our brutal ignorance of anything that doesn't happen right in front of our faces is one reason why people despise us.
Oh, but launching a surprise attack on an unsuspecting nation who, by the way, they weren't at war with (yet) was perfectly ok? Yeah, yeah, it was a military installation, but face it, those bombs ended the war early and saved American lives, which is what they were intended to. In short, quit your whinging and crawl back under the porch where you belong. And take your KFC with you.
I provide tech support for ~300 Unix servers, and we average between 2-3 techs for a dayshift, plus one deep support person. This number works pretty well, because it grants leeway if anyone needs an extra day off. We've floated with one person on support duty, but it ain't pretty!
The Air Force has already subjected its members to mass DNA sampling, all under the guise of "identifying combat remains." Anyone who was in the AF in the last three years already has their DNA info on file.

Because you misspelled "classified."
I vote for Plano, TX! Ever been there? They both have about as much life.
News flash, folks: CONGRESS CONTROLS THE AMOUNT OF YOUR TAXES, NOT THE PRESIDENT! If you want reform for your taxation, talk to your Congressman.

It was my understanding that Netscape sold out to AOHELL to save themselves from Microsoft.

Okay, I'm a dumbass! Flame away!

On a semi-related note, be sure to try the green chili at Joseph's in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. It's sure to light a pommie's socks on fire! :-)
