    Depends on which branch.

    It also depends on which field.

    I was in the Corps, and as of 93, every recruit who went through bootcamp was required to spend one month at Marine Combat Training (MCT) with yearly refresher courses. Of course, you also need to remember the fact that every Marine is a rifleman first and foremost, no matter what their job.

    It's his story. It seems to me a lot of people around here are damned arrogant.

    "Lucas should step down, he's ruining my childhood."

    Whatever. Last I checked, no one was forcing anyone to go to these movies.

    Let the man do it and if it sucks, well, sorry your childhood was "ruined" by a movie...no one forced you to go to in the first place.

    Harvard good enough for you?

    From Harvard's own website:

    Harvard football has seen a tremendous resurgence in the number of graduates who have gone onto the professional ranks. Over the past four years, seven Crimson players have been drafted or signed professional contracts and six remain active heading into the 2001 season. Among them is Matt Birk '98, the starting center for the Minnesota Vikings who was named to the NFL's 2000 All-Pro Team.

    This past April, Mike Clare 01, a First Team All-America at offensive tackle, signed a free agent contract with the NFL's Cleveland Browns. A year ago, linebacker Isaiah Kacyvenski '00 became Harvard's highest-ever draft pick when he was taken in the fourth round (119th overall selection) by the Seattle Seahawks. Shortly after the 2000 draft, tight end Chris Eitzmann '00 was signed by the New England Patriots and defensive end Mike Sands '00 agreed to terms with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Eitzmann appeared in several games last fall for the Patriots, while Sands remains property of the Steelers and played this spring for the Rhein Fire of NFL Europe.

    I call bullshit.

    Perhaps you get excited over clean code, or something else equally geeky, but let me tell you, there is very much a passion for a lot of us geeks out here in the sports arena.

    As far as baseball players being unable to understand the rules, or even having seen a rule book, provide a link.

    I can provide quite a few (search ESPN.com, or, even better, actually WATCH the game you profess so much loathing for) links for your reading pleasure. I'd rather you educated yourself though.

    Of course, that was your opinion, this is mine, yada yada yada.

    The Open Source Hammer in the Sky protocol suite is what you are looking for. I use the OSHITS protocol to defend my small volcanic (it's not active, thankfully) island.
    Oh, I also need to mention that OSHITS is GPL-compliant, so feel free to modify it in any way you'd like. It can be found at OSHITS.com*

    The OSHITS protocol suite has also been through the legal ringer, in both the EU and the US.

    In fact, the Supreme Court and the UN Tribunal Council both agreed, OSHITS is legal and quite good for use. Thanks and have a great day.
