Can anyone recommend a good place to buy these? I don't recall seeing them in the local KB the last time I was there. Hell, they barely carry regular legos. Maybe they were just out of stock from the holidays.
I can't believe this post received so little traffic. Chris Cooper's performance alone makes this an honorable mention. And Nick Cage hasn't made me want to watch him like this since Raising Arizona.
I don't use WEP or MAC control because some of my clients don't talk to the router with it on. For instance, the USB NIC I use for my Tivo won't work with encryption on.
Please tell me this is intended to be a sarcastic post. If it's not, then it's obvious you've never actually been in the military.
Employment is stable, but the job isn't. Depending on the branch of service, you could be a Network Admin one week, and picking up trash off the street the next. As for playing with cool ass toys, that's not going to happen either. You see, the funding you think is always out there for new projects is non-existent. It's hard sometimes just to get post-it notes and pens, let alone new hardware and software. There's more green screens out there than I'd care to discuss here.
The part that you got half right is the traveling and partying with cool people. You will encounter some exemplary people in the military; however, a good majority are unmotivated and/or unfortunate individuals that didn't have the gumption or means to go to college. Finally, yes, you will do some partying and travelling, especially if you consider tossing back a rationed bottle of coke in the middle of the desert a good time.
