Depending on the terms of his retirement, he is on retired reserve for a set period of time, all it would need is a recall to active duty and he's punishable under the UCMJ.
Search and siezure, probably cause, unlawful confinement, and several others are all out the window for anyone in the military or subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

The network itself is physically seperated from any other networks. The cabling and links are all a closed loop, it's just built using the same protocols and tools that the internet runs. The Register article mentioned that it now uses a digital signature file to restrict access to a "need to know" level set by the people who create user accounts.
The people who run this network are extremely paranoid about what you point out, so there are no access points that exist outside of secure installations. The network traffic itself is probably encrypted as well, but that's beyond my "need to know"
He's worked in a high-security job, and he's been a sysadmin, yet he can't work out how to encrypt a message properly? Not clever.
And par for the course, He's former enlisted, and the enlisted sysads (at least the ones here) aren't worth squat.For the most part, they're 20-year old's whose sole training on computers has been the Windows 3.1 training they got in a six-week tech school from the Air Force. And if they do have a clue, then they usually don't stay in since they can triple their salary in the civillian world.
There are two competing standards for security on government computer systems: DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) and NSA's, depending on where you are and whose money you're getting, you conform to one or both standards. You'd be surpsied at what a HUGE pain in the ass this can be to do, especially when the standard changes from month to month and which standard inspectors decide to go by.
This is the government, nothing is ever simple if we can find a way to make it complex.
The boards have been delayed to September, but I too am drooling at getting ahold of one of these. Screw the onboard video, I want the dual channel DDR!
Except that VIA's P4 chipset uses DDR and is actually faster than the 850 with RAMBUS. DDR has the speed and a much lower latency than RAMBUS, which is why the nForce chipset is shattering memory performance with dual channel DDR.
I don't know how many times I've had to talk folks over the phone through opening a command prompt to get something done under Windows, this isn't funny, it's just that people have been weaned off CLI's in favor of GUI's. It's part of what has gotten computers so far into homes and buisnesses in the past ten years.
Ignorance isn't funny unless it's something that should be common sense, and in this case it's not. Performing and then implementing these types of studies is a good thing for all concerned.
As a wage slave of the "No Such Agency" this patent idea is way old hat folks, this was done about 15 years ago with mainframes.
Picture six independant channels of media, you can record simultaneously on five of them and playback on the sixth, and even capture media after the fact ("I really only want to record ten minutes out of the last three hours of stuff"), and I've been wishing for years that someone would tach the basic tech that we used (and has since been replaced) and make it consumer-level.
I doubt that the people who engineered this stuff will come up and claim prior art, but this has been done before, a long time ago.
What sort of cooler did you put on there in the first place? AMD and Intel both recommend HSF's for their chips and two additional case fans creating airflow across motherboard and chip. At least with x86 at these speeds, the days of aircooling your chip are long gone.
Acccording to The Register, AOL, HP and Compaq are in cahoots to derail the whole.NET platform. Now imagine the corporate weight, experience and cash of these three companies getting firmly behind Linux, and more importantly devoting programmers and some of that cash to improving WINE, and I think this is a win/win situation for Linux.
More users, and more applications that will run under Linux, this could change things in a big way. As the arabs say: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".
I purchased two 256MB sticks of generic PC133 from mwave and much to my delight they turned out to be Infineon CAS2! My Athlon is jumping for joy at the continued prospects of getting more of this stuff.
We needed a second one for my classes and to avoid interference with my wife's email and internet access. So, like any self-respecting geek, I figured out my budget and then bought the biggest, baddest computer I could get for my money.
I don't have a 1GHz T-bird just for the gaming power (though UT does run REAL nice), I have it because that's what I could afford. Do I use this thing to its full potential? Hell no, but unless you're running RC5 or SETI 24/7 or attempting to run Win2k on a P90, who really is maxing out their proc on a regular basis in their home?
At work is another story.
DK's development is a huge soap opera wrapped up in PM's perfectionist streak. He developed a game, played it and decided it just wasn't fun, so he tanked 6-8 months of development and started over. EA came knocking at the door and told him they were taking this game and publishing it, like it or not. So the "final" version of Dungeon Keeper sucks because it wasn't done or up to par as far as PM as concerned.
The fiasco over Dungeon Keeper is the reason why he left Bullfrog in the first place. B&W has taken this long to develop because he didn't want to release another game until he was sure he was done. Cut the man some slack.
...that killed "PC Acellerator", the only magazine that catered to heterosexual men that drink beer and also love computers. My wife alway hid my copies under issues of Wired because she was afraid someone would think it was porno or something.
So at least in my experience, they don't have a great track record of reading people's tastes.
Until it will run on all my fucking x86 boxes that I got to hand-pick all the fucking hardware in because it met my fucking budget and fucking desires then, the fucking answer is fuck no.
The only things Lynch got right were the production design and the casting. The movie was hopelessly confusing and where the heck did that whole "Weirding Module" thing come from???
And if you're going to let him get away with the Weirding Module, then why did Stilgar (when grabbed by an unarmed Jessica) say "Stand back, she knows the Weirding Way"????? How the heck did Fremen know about some TOP SECRET WEAPON presumably just by Jessica's smell???
I remember going to see that film on opening night and they were handing out terminolgy sheets.
When you have to tell the audience what something in the movie means, you've not done your job as a storyteller.
Being one of Uncle Sam's current wage slaves (except that I wear a uniform) I can say without a doubt that this will have little to no effect because any techie worth his salt won't work very long for the government. Why is that, you may ask? Because government projects that involve computers are almost always administered by someone who knows nothing about them and is more interested in servicing their own career at the expense of the system they're dealing with.
For example, I'm currently a sysad for a system that's had $25 Million dollars poured into it and we're still not even close to being fully operational and we're lucky that this thing works at all. If you want a good example of the people that the government listen to for their computing needs, check out Mitre. These guys are renown for designing crap (they're the ones who came up with the brilliant idea of keep all the user directories on our busiest file server, not to mention running 900GB through a single OC-12 card on a shitty ATM network under WinNT).
The government mismanges ever piece of silicon they have and until the culture of management changes, even money won't be enough to keep talented people around.
I think that that graphic novel is the finest Batman story written and I think if anyone could make a fabulous Batman movie it would be Alan Moore.
Except that because of the fact that DC(WB) told Alan Moore to take a flying leap over Twlight of the Superheros he left them in disgust. And after they took his beautiful concept, watered it down and turned it into Kingdom Come, I think the chances of involving one of the greatest writers of fiction in the 20th century are zero.
That being said, I have faith that as long as Frank Miller doesn't let some hack get ahold of his script (like RoboCop2 & 3), we'll see a fine fine film out of this.
FWIW when I was 24, I read a book called A nswers to Distraction, and it profoundly affected me. For years I had struggled with this inability for me to take the things I could visualize in my head (a drawing, a program, a story, whatever) and make my hands produce it. This, combined with a knack for going full steam ahead with projects and constantly abandoning them and developing little to no patience for my 2 year-old, ended up bringing on major bouts of depression to boot.
Then, after reading letters from adults with ADD, all of a sudden things really clicked for me, and I felt like I could finally beat this thing that had frustrated me since I was kid. Long story short, I take meds (non-Ritalin) every day and I see my now 8 year-old son starting to display some of the same traits that I had for so long. Seeing this article gives me hope that I can help my son control his ADD and take the blessings it gives and fight down the bad parts of it WITHOUT BEING MEDICATED.
I hate the fact that I take these damn pills every day, but I've tried going off them and I just don't have the coping skills I need, my son now will have the option of being himself and making all this work for him instead of against him.
Slashdot Mirror
According to an article on the Register, the WinXP SDK has a plugin for support of X86-64 processors.
So not exactly ==Official MS Support, more like MS covering their bases in case the Hammer really takes off.

MUCH stiffer penalty.

He doesn't make any firewalls (yet), so how can this be a competing product?

And they added "3DNow! Professional" - 3D Now! plus Intel's SSE.

Funny everyone mentions "closed hardware." HTH does Linux/NetBSD manage to run on modern Macs if they're "closed?"
True, but try passing that line around Be and see how far you'll go before being smacked.

I think 'they' should put out the Watchmen as a movie. Miller really churned out a winner with that series, and it would RULE on the screen.
Not to pick nits, bu that was Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.
