That one day, all houses will be made with fibre straight to the door, and bandwidth will be just another amenity, much like electricity, or gas, or telephones are now. And then all the local bandwith companies can fight over our business, and offer us lower and lower rates.
"What's funny about using Microsoft Chat," he adds with a sly smile, "is that everybody has to choosean icon to represent themselves. Some of these guys haven't bothered, so the program assigns them one. We'll be in the middle of a battle and a bunch of field artillery colonels will come online in the form of these big-breasted blondes. We've got a few space aliens, too."
Yeah, since I've been a Slashdot-ite I've noticed that. Some of you keep weapons in your houses in case King George (was it George) decides to come and try and take back the former renegade coloney too...
Hard on the outside, soft on the inside?
And what happens when an Iraqi captures one of these Sipper sets? He can listen in to Rumsfeld and Bush?
Encryption should be between the two endpoints, IMO, like IPSec.
every friendly tank, plane, ship, and soldier in the world in real time,
I think "every" might be a slight exaduration. But seriously, does that extend to allied forces, cos we (British) always seem to take a lot of hits from people allegedly on the same side as us.:o(
And also, it's all very well having two soldeirs guarding it, but what happens if a missile lands right on top of them. You need them separated by a few miles.
Suspect chemical attack, he types into a Microsoft Chat session running on the tactical Internet, the military's battlefield communications system.
Tell me this isn't true? The US military resort to Microsoft Chat to communicate a possible chemical attack? Surely they'd have some custom chat software with some heavy duty encryption in it?

I don't get how a # can be called a pound. What do you guys call £ then?
How is that? Only Jamaicans can have a Jamaican accent? Yeah, mon...

Like that Enigma machine on that submarine. They didn't ever expect that to fall into Allied hands.

OK, so they did probably think of that before.
But explain to me how you think it works then.
You're very certain of that.

There's no point encrypting the links if one end is compromised, or am I missing something?
"I consult Microsoft online help," he replies.
That's too funny, really it is. On so many levels.

Shouldn't affect the computer as a whole - should just segfault when that compiled program is run.
And what would be so wrong with that?
All the Russians I've ever met have been educated, cultured, friendly people. *
They're not the bumbling, devious, drunken idiots that Hollywood films frequently make them out to be.

If we were once chimps, and we evolved into homo-sapiens, then why didn't the chimps do that too?
I'm glad this got modded up - too often, genuinely funny trolls get modded down by some mod with no sense of humour.
I thought that - but then I thought: If they're already made, and are sitting on shelves, then they're losing more if they stay on the shelves.
.... still losing money on each of these things?

Maybe the pimply-faced 14 year old stereotype is just a myth put about by the gorgeous women that actually deface websites, and DDoS IRC networks?
I mean, who's **actually** met a script kiddie?
Browsing Slashdot at -1, I have learned stuff about things that I never wanted to.

I just compiled it. Phew. It is a bit of a monster.
