There are two different types of SONAR passive and active. Passive sonar is nothing more than a senstive mike with someone or something listening in.
The SOUS is an array of passive sonar devices senstive enough to detect submarines from hundreds of miles away.
Now whether or not SOUS can detect these gliders is up for debate (and classfication), but every operation underwater makes noise, and the pumps on the glider will make noise of some type.
If the US feels that these gliders are being used to bring in drugs (if all the problems get fixed), I wouldn't be surprised if the US Navy drops one of these arrays in the Gulf simliar to the radar ballons deployed in Florida to cover the gulf.
If the SOUS can detect Russians subs hundreds of miles away, I am sure that it can be used to detect these gliders no more than a few miles away (if they put one in the gulf).
Most of my clients are MS shops, I set them up with either Spampal (if they are small), or a SA solution running Webmin (with only Port 25 open on the outside interface).
Runs flawlessly with little work on my part, beyond occasionally updates, and routine maintenance.
Though I am intrested in the Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy, which seems like a good solution.
Well we'll see there is still the question of barniacles and such, I wouldn't be surprised if the Navy drops a SOUS in the gulf if they become a problem. Most people don't know it but there are two ballons floating at 14,000ish feet with radar to cover the gulf.
Actually one of the uses that the Navy was toying around with (to get some more money out of the nature research lobby in congress) was to listen on whale songs, in particular the ones related to mating.
Not sure if anything came about with it, but the Navy has was high quality stuff for detecting subs that can be extremely quiet, it's almost as if they aren't there.
We are talking about a SOUS array detecting a Soviet sub hundreds of miles away. Just think if we dropped one in the gulf and another one in the Pacfic (just off the coast).
Personally I highly doubt that it will work because during the Cold War the US deployed a series of Sonar nets through out the oceans to detect Soviet submarines.
They are called the Sound Surveillance System (SOUS), word was that it could detect Soviet subs leaving their North Sea bases from the US.

Many University are part of the Campus Lisence program where they get Unlimited free copies to many of the Microsoft programs. They do this thourgh the Volume lisence program, so it has no activation.
Now the University can decide how to distribute it, the college I went to gave you a copy of Office during "dis"-orientation, and you could check most of the other Microsoft products out at the Library. If you wanted a copy of your own, you could purchase it at the bookstore for the educational discount rate.
At another school that I visited when you signed up for a class, the cost of CD-R's were included with the lab fees and copies were given out during the first couple of classes. And at another school that I visited you got a form, where you can give them CD-Rs, and they will copy it for you, if you were in a class that needed it.
Though that doesn't nessarly mean that the school has to go MS only, at the school that a went to, most of their servers were *nix, and at one of the other schools that I visited they had Linux, and Oracle classes.
Personally I believe most schools teach Microsoft products because they are easier to use, particularlly when you are dealing with Elective students that barely know how the surf the net, let alone with within an IDE.
Personally I am one that doesn't like to bring attention to myself too much, but I do like posting information and stuff that I have done.
Though in a little bit of self-depreceation I even posted my first website on the web again (this time under my personal domain), you can see it here in all it's Strongbad glory, though Strongbad wasn't around, when I posted the first version of it on the net. In fact nor was Google.
This is exactly what is happening in IE. It's not going to be available for Mac anymore, and you won't get updates for anything other than XP and future OS's.
If I remember correctly they only pulled out of the Mac because they believed that Apple finally was finally providing a descent browser, and since they have access to the source they can build a much better browser than MS just trying to as an add-in application.
MS really does need to offer a "lite" version of the OS.
I have been saying that since 2000 when they removed the install options. The should go back to the way it was during the Win 95/98 era, when you installed you have the options of typical, full, compact, and custom. That way you can pick and choose.
Now as far as WMP being bundled, personally I like that from a tech prospective, it allows me to lock down installs for the OS, without having to install a Media player, and all that jaz before I lock it down.
Also the same for client setup, they don't have to go searching for the tools (and in some cases installing ones that have spyware hidden in them), it just comes with the OS.
Yes they are DRM enabled, but for most users that doesn't matter, for business users it's starting to matter, but they want it. How many confidential company documents do I have to intercept at the SMTP gateway does it take before the CEO demands for it to be turned on within their company?
Which Microsoft is fixing. With the release of Windows Server 2003, by default it has no services turned on (though I wish the firewall was on by default), with the release of XP SP 2, they are going to be removing unsed functions, close unused ports, and lower the privlages for processes that don't need that high of privlages.
Microsoft working towards the security that *nix has. They also haven't been around as long *nix, anyone besides me remember all the sendmail exploits?
Anyone that actually believes that is a fool also.
Any modern OS can be both secure or insecure, it really depends on the user. Linux has had numerous security holes since I have been in IT, but the average admin is alert enough to patch them, not always true with Windows.
In fact I remember once a lower level admin was working on deploying a Linux server for a customer, at 5pm when he was done, he had it set up with RH 7.3, and put it on the network, leaving me with a note IP, root pass, and what the customer wanted. Unfortunate that admin accidentily hook that machine on our non-firewalled network (that company charged more for placing on the firewall network), well by the time I came it at 8pm that machine had been hacked and was DOSing some server.
Note default install of Linux, and non-firewalled network, in a honey pot book I read, the guys first honey pot Linux server hacked in 24 minutes flat (default install of Red Hat).
Being both a Linux and Windows consultant, I use both, but I make sure that both are deployed intelligently with patching systems and firewalls and gateways along with them if needed.
Hey I was raised near there (on one of the border islands), it may be a small city without too much crime, but it sure ain't a hicktown, at least when I was there.
I priced out a pretty nice one that was hot swappable EIDE RAID with a tape back up for $6,000 no OS. Just wish I remembered where I saw it, forgot the URL.
That's 25% from a single University, UND has about the same enrollment as ERAU, and then there are the numerous Pro-Pilot schools (Flight Safety, Mesa, etc), and the PFT/PFJ scams/schools (Pay for Training or Job), on top of that there are the various of little flight schools at the thousands of airports and FBOs.
The last numbers I saw out from ALPA (may they die a painful death) is that a majority were coming from civilian channels during the mid-1990's to 2000.
In fact Southwest Airlines won't even interview a canidate (this policy has been enforced on and off over the past few years) unless they have a 737 type rating, which unless you flew those in the Navy Reserve, no military-folks would have.
Most of them are ex-military types, we've already paid for their training.
Actually not so, over 25% of the US pilots come from a single Univeristy, Embry-Riddle. *fondly remembers his 4 years at their main Daytona Beach Campus*
Their are other pilot school such as UND (which is quite popular), Flight Safety, and Mesa. These days a majority are coming from civilian life than military.
9) Pilots for major airlines. If the plane hits inclement weather or other serious issues arise do you really care if the people behind the cockpit doors are making ~250K a year?
Too bad the 250K a year is a myth, only the most senior pilots at the major airlines make that much money. The average co-pilot for the majors makes about $30k, while an average line pilot makes $45-55K.
The commuters such as ASA, and Comair start their co-pilots at $18.5K, and their average pilost make about $30-40K, with the most senior making close the 6 figure.
Note that this is after a pilot invests nearly $50K geting a Bachlors degree, and another $50-60K in flight training. Also the pilots generally spend 2-3 years making just better than McJob wages, doing flight training themselves or other jobs.
Corporate pilots don't get as high pay wise, but they can move up more quickily to their highest pay scale if they are good.
/karma whoring consultant that was once a broke pilot.

Must be something wrong with her driver install because I have no problems with any of my computers and WEP.
Too bad with Windows XP (the first Windows OS made after WiFi because semi-popular) it is that easy.
*mumbles* Make fun of me in 3rd Grade wiil ya, now I am finally going to get you back /mumble
That's because that B&N has operations in almost every state so they have to charge sales tax.

And of course the Navy needs more aircraft since they are on 6 off 6.
