This may have been the case years ago, but you definitely have to be 21 years old to purchase alcohol on military installations(at least stateside). Not sure about overseas places like Germany; but obviously you could just go off-post to drink anyways.

Is that really surprising to you? The Cuda V is slow regardless of interface so of course it's not going to 'showcase' SATA any differently than if the drive is was an ATA100 interface. The improved cabling alone is worth negligable increases in performace for the time being.
Like Eol1 said, snipers don't use any lasers that could possibly give away their positions, and I'd doubt the usefulness of an IR sniper scope considering how poor the image quality would be at long ranges in less than a full moon(given the quality of generation 3 NODs).
In the regular infantry we have IR lasers for designating targets(or pointing in general) which are visible through night vision devices. Their usefulness is doubtful with most enemies having NODs nowadays. We also have reflex sights with the red dot that is cast internally(no dot on the target) which simply acts as a replacement for the iron sight.
There is a possibility for IFITL(integrated fiber in the loop) to work in this case maybe? Though that would require the fiber to go all the way to the curb, then terminates at a box by the house(which connects to your system via regular 10baseT). Bellsouth has this in some areas, though I have no idea if they are still installing it or have killed the project.

Generally I've noticed that the latency over internet 2 is almost no different than what I get to commodity net sites. I'm at msu.edu and traffic going to the west coast is usually better over the regular net! Here's a ping comparison of 2 Bay area sites(stanford and teamplay.net(exodus hosted).

I meet with exodus.net in Chicago with like 8ms of latency, then it's all on their network to cali. While I'm 25ms to the Abilene node in Cleveland, then off to Stanford.
While there are alot of DSL/cable offerings(anet DSL in Chicago = best peering i've ever seen, Optimum Online = best cablemodem on east coast) that ping as good as I do or better, I dont see them pulling 5Mbps downloads:)

Yellow diamond huh? Sounds familiar...
