Wireless LAN in military?

Wearable PCs

"The Via IIs used by military workers have high-speed ''wireless LAN'' connections to local- and wide-area networks... also use Microsoft's NetMeeting videoconferencing software..."
Is it just me or does this sound like trouble? Especially since it sounds like most of the wearables mentioned in the article are running Windows (I don't recall hearing about NetMeeting for Linux!). ________________________
Rob, please tell us that you weren't actually wearing a Microsoft shirt. Tell us that it was digitally "airbrushed" in... tell us that aliens kidnapped you and put it on you, and the picture was taken just as you were coming to... tell us that isn't a disguised Monica Lewinsky in the other picture... ________________________
..and to think that I was beginning to listen to my wife's suggestions that we need a mini-van. This is what we need! Now, if I just take out a second mortgage... and forget the college fund... and retirement fund... yep, I can do it!
Hey, sweetie? I've found our new family vehicle! Sure, the baby seat will fit in the back... lots of room for the stroller... ________________________
While I'm not thrilled at the prospect of the root zones being considered "intellectual property" of NSI, I'm sick and tired of getting spammed with messages promoting hosting and search engine placement every fscking time that I register a domain for a client. Can a person both applaud and decry at the same time? ________________________
Admittedly, I only clicked on about four or five of the finalists, but most of the ones I looked at (the ones that struck me as interesting) didn't actually have anything out there yet. One publisher had a notice about the festival, and an amusing story about racing to get a stable build to ship to the festival by the deadline.
Now I enjoy "sneak previews" as much as the next guy, but shouldn't one of the entry requirements be that the game is available? ________________________
It's Monday, I have a headache, and now/. is playing mind games with me. I thought this was for real until I started reading the comments... guess that's a good one one me.
Keep up the good work, "Doc Technical" - just not on a Monday, OK? ________________________
Wouldn't call myself an NT fan, but I use NT at work (which is where I access/. - big pipeline here). IE4 is on the machine, but my primary browser is Communicator 4.5. Our company web server is an NT4 box with IIS (which is why you'll never see my real e-mail address or web site address above - like I need to be/.-ed!), but I'd rather be running Linux (have to reboot the web server at least once every week or so).
We have three NT servers on our network - our web server generally reboots once or twice a week, our file server once a month, and our MS Proxy about once every two months. My own NT workstation is rebooted once every week or two.
We have one Linux box on the network - uptime 147 days and counting (since the last time I powered it down to change the network card). At my previous workplace (an ISP), the main web server ran Digital Unix. During the two years I worked there, we never had to reboot it except for hardware changes.
Not FUD, just my own experiences. I wouldn't call myself an "extreme" Linux advocate, but I see what works, and what doesn't. If it weren't for the fact that the company has invested heavily in MS technologies (Exchange Server, Proxy Server, Internet Information Server / Active Server Pages, FoxPro, SQL Server), I would have had everything switched to Linux long ago.

"Linux sucks less..." Gotta love that one. Also loved the part about embedding into MSIE - can't wait to "fix" my NT system!
