    Wasn't Windows Server 2003 reccently certified as a secure system for government use?

    Yes, it was.

    "Touting the success of it's new Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) process, Microsoft late Wednesday said Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP SP2 Professional and Embedded have secured the highest Common Criteria security certification from the United States government's National Information Assurance Partnership."

    Unlike what people would like you to think, XP SP2/Windows Server 2003 is exceedingly secure. I think we can all agree that IIS 5 was utter crap. However, IIS 6.0 is a total renovation.

    Though your point is still mute. I doubt they use the same scheme for all their assets. That would be retarded.

    wtf would they need some "encrypting" black box for? If they can decode it from the ground, they already know how it was encrypted. They designed the thing, after all.

  15. Re:My idea on NASA Seeks Geniuses and Visionaries · · Score: 0, Troll
    You mean the main external tank (the big rust colored thing). It stores liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. They cool them down into a liquid state and put them in the tank (which fuels the actual Shuttle engines during launch). The foam is there to try and keep the cold in (actually keep the heat out). However, the foam eventually "freezes" and ice also forms on the outside of the tank. That's what leads to all these problems.

    They used to have a much better foam but due to some enviromental concerns they had to stop using it.

  20. Re:Uhmm... on Radiation Robot Makes Troops Safer · · Score: 0

    Also remember they have to then encase the robot in a protective sheild when it's done since it's still radioactive. Then they have to use a truck or such to dispose of the container, and then the truck needs to be encased since it's not radioactive, too. Don't forget anything else that even assisted.

    No, I'm not kidding.

  21. Poster on It's "1984" in Europe, What About Your Country? · · Score: 1

    Submitter seems to have forgotten one of the main ideas of 1984.

    ALL paper that is not going to be part of official record is BURNED. Anything in official record that didn't fit the current administrations views was burned and then rewritten. People on the street were told to bring any paper they find to chutes leading to the incinerators. This way the government could change all records and no one would be able to prove that it was ever any different because there was no evidence. Ingenious and evil idea to say the least.

    Instead of burning paper, the US government is classifying ANYTHING. Shit from the cold war is still classified. I believe the amount of classifying materials has shot up significantly since Bush took office. Instead of doing something as obvious as burning the past, they classify it.
