. . . is the age range that covers well over 60% of the members of our armed forces. This age group is also the biggest target for the gaming industry. No suprize there's mad games being played by members of our armed forces. They are all people too.
Anyone remeber the GLOBALS from Earth Final Conflict? About a 5 inch video monitor that rolls up into the body of the device, Video/Digital camera, GPS, [video]Phone, and a low end computer all in a package that fits not so badly in one hand (when the screen is not engaged/unrolled.)
These are nice for SIDEARMS and SHOTGUNS. Not much use for a sniper when your Aimpoint sight has a red dot that covers 3 inches at 100 meters. No precision there (in relative terms.)
You: Snipers use a visible red dot, of course, since they have to see it (at least old school snipers).
Me: Snipers in movies use a visible red dot. Real snipers use passive optical sights - that is they don't send a signal to the target, they passively collect data (light [visible or IR]) from the target. Old school snipers use iron sights with high quality Mk 1 Eyeballs.
There's Bittorent, Azureus, Firefox, Mozilla, Thuderbird, Open Office, the GIMP, Ad-aware, Spybot-S&D, Winamp (at least in the 3.0 series...haven't upgraded for a while.)
In January? Go check the usenet or your local torrent site of choice. Episodes 1 to 8 are already done, aired, and available for thef...errr..download.
". . . the new generation of printers produced images with brighter colours and that were less likely to fade than many High Street developers or even some professional wedding photographers."
I didn't know professional wedding photographers resided fading so well they were the benchmark against which photographic prints will be held. I'd have guessed that wedding photgraphers would fade faster. They certainly seem to turn grey faster. Must be all those demanding parents of the wedding couple.
If you want to have a war over who won an election or not go to some eastern european ex-soviet block nation. That's what they're about. Not US (the USA as a whole, even if individuals like you like the idea of bloodshed to change the head of the executive branch.)
This fucking nation was put together to AVOID the kind of conflict you want. Those in power are given terms of limited duration. The number of terms they may serve is limited by both the law and by the electorate.
The electorate chose not to limit the current president to a single term. The law makes the upcoming term his last.
Now... how the hell does one "flip votes" on voting machines that are free of remote conectivity?
If I wanted a system where I could change the value of some piece of election data I'd want to poll that data to verify that I wasn't "flipping" the vote from my desired result to an undesired one.
Anyhow...if a state certified a voting machine that didn't leave a paper audit trail that'd validated by a voter they damned well deserve whatever they get.
Bring on the negative moderation. It's only Karma!

Next time I'll be sure to add the tag to my posts. Let's try this... you know, looking at the red/blue map, it looks like a sad day for 25-33% of America. 15% if not for CA.
maybe we need to get some other tags for use here at slashdot. The tags could be of use to those who can't detect such things on their own.
"First off, even if the flame is almost completely invisible in daylight..."
The book _DARK_SUN_:_The_Making_of_the_Hydrogen_Bomb (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/068 4824140?v=glance) describes how excess H2 was burned off before a nuclear weapons test. The author makes the claim that, except for the atmospheric disturbance causes the the grat heat, burning H2 is effectively undetectable by visble observation. Then again, the H2 used in nuclear weapons testing is probably a bit closer to pure than the stuff we'll put into our future cars.
"Second, companies are perfectly capable of adding adulterants to make the flame any color they want. . . . A tiny fraction of some other gas added to pure hydrogen would probably easily be able to make the flame a bright and obvious color."
Yeah, what he said! Just watch out for that 100% H2 burning. Once it's been doped it's likely to be visible to most people.
Funny, it was two DEMOCRATS (Kerrys party) that authored and supported the recent bill that would have brought back the draft. So, if you're in a red state, you won't be drafted. Woe is me, I'm in California, I'll be stuck fighting FOR KERRY? Time to go AWOL.
