Units can stay powered for up to two months in the field, and can be later collected and re-used. Each node costs around $10,000. Together, they are cheaper, less like a huge warm cock and a much less obvious target for enemy intervention than the aircraft-based systems used to jam or monitor communications at the moment.
The Registrers version:

A slightly different version you've got there Sir.
Why limit the system to only battlefield? I mean if this works for the US Military it is also usefull in a more civill environment.
The Army could license the technology to companies and earn in some of those tax dollars.
This has happened before with a lot of tech and it could happen again. Just think about the possibilities in for example the fight against terror.
This could be good or it could become bad.
The transportation will probably slow down and productivity will go way down yhe next days (depending on lenght or the outage).
The good thinh though is the warm weather. If the weather stays warm the next days, ehh, well you all know what happens when its hot an air-conditioners don't work.
That could be A Good Thing (TM) because it will shrink pension costs for both the state and many bussinesses. In turn will this lead to a higher percentage of the population working which will be good for the economy.
Sometimes an off-line reference is useful (i.e. required)
I beg to differ.
Is not the whole purpose of a stable system such as OpenBSD uptime above average? If the system is up and running, wh can't you then not use a web browser to read the excellent online documentation?
Or is'nt the Open BSD distribution as "stable" as everyone on slashdot says?
Does not this defeats the whole purpose of Open Source?
I mean, if you need a fund for raising money for a OS that was initially meant to be free how is it free anymore when someone have to cash out in order to keep it from being sued into oblivion?
when a new Microsoft worm or exploit is out. But after the initiall updatestuff it all settles. The latest RPC vulnerability the Blaster is already slowing down according to a Cnet.
And I guess that eveyone that have some firewalls and uses common sense allways survive these attacks. At my companys network we use Win 98 instead, so we were able to escape this worm. Actually it looks like all the new exploit are on these new Win2000 and XP versions, so to me Win 98 or Win Me looks like a much better choice in the security area.
Okay, this is cool and we are all nerds that don't whant to clean up in our houses.
But how well does this thing *really* work?
Does it catch the larger "dots" of dust? Probably not.
And how well does it work on carpets?
And what about the stairs down to the basement?
And why would anyone want this item when they instead can pay some illegal mexican immigrants to do the job at $1 an hour anyway? Supporting them is for me far more important than buying some tech-stuff just because its "cool".
.. but the future is even more interesting.
Just Imagine all the new possibilities for new cominations you can arrange if you combine the latest in technology with the old paper bill.
I'm really looking forward to the bill that makes its possible to track where the bill was, who used it and what was bought. For example, retailers could produce special targeted advertising for peole that came with money they had won in a lottery. If the retailer knows where the customer has grabbed the money its much easier to sell thing based on customer history and public profiles.
A on the security side the government can destroy money that belongs to suspected criminals and therby prevent crime before it takes place. If you don't have cash its difficault to opperate for example a drug ring.
I read this article earlier this night. Tried it on my home setup. Did everything just as he wrote it in the article but one of the packages just did not want to install. So I'm kind of looking for help.
After configuring the setup and all that stuff I tried to add a package:
% pkg_add/mnt/www/smp-support-fo-freebsd.tbz
I just would not work so I would appreciate some help. Have I missed something?
(I do know that this is not a help-forum etc so please don't mod me as offtopic. Thanks.)
as being very expensive, implanting this technology into every bomb *will* become painful to us tax-payers. And we are not getting these money back just because of a decrease in collateral damage.
Would it not be less expensive to just use what we kno works; the old fashioned Tomahawk, which proved itselv extensivly in the Gulf Wars?
And how bad is really some collateral damage?
If you look behinfd the media hype and all the people that thinks that we should all be friend you will find a *war*. That means that there will and its supposed to be some collateral damage. Casualties makes the enemy frightned and less willing to fight.
And the enemy should expect some collateral damage when they start a war, collaterall damage will in fact make them less willing to start a war next time.
(B) the Linux community needs exactly this kind of 'inoculation' as the OS moves from a hobbyist platform to a real business tool.
Yes, the Linux community need this if Linux is going to grow up from a hobby thing to something more usefull for the bussiness.
Let's face it; Linux is cool and everything, but its not very usefull for most businesse today the way it is today with all the distros in economy problem and with only freelance coders.
Yes, I do think that a cron event would work just fine with this boot up sequence.
Like I said you he should have returned in the weekend in the middle to do the backup.
If I had to point out one reason why "linux isn't catching on" it would have to be a reason whom is related to the area where Linux is particulary weak, the desktop area.
In my humble opinion the temporarily failure or maybe just a delay of Linux on the desktop area has to do with bad documentation. For end users that are new to Linux, but willing to learn, bad or weak documentation can be real turndown.
Actually I think the bad documentation is related to the hacker culture and the "do it on your own" attitud. This also influences the developers whom often take easily on the commenting and documentation of their code. All this is a vicious circle that can lead to a not very newbie- friendly environment.
The mail system as we know it today just works amd that could be a reason for keepinhg it the way it is. Today the mail system has a balance between security, economy and privacy that benefits the economy as a whole.
However, the antrax cases and the Una-bomber case revealed that there are several loopholes in the implementation of todays mail system. Giving anyone an unrestrictive right to send mail to anyone remind me of the spam problem. No one should have this right without authorization from a central government. The system we have today opens of for large scale DoS attacks through US Postal because new technology makes it possible the automize the process.
Ordinary citizens have gained a lot on new technology and the possibillity of anonymous communication such as mail through their ISP. So, in order to retain the balance which the Constitution rests its only fair and square that the government restrict and monitors the old snail mail system.

I wonder if I would want to trust them with a robot running around scanning my network...
Like I said you he should have returned in the weekend in the middle to do the backup.
Lazyness, I guess. And holydays can't be counted as a good excuse; he could have traveled back in the weekend in the middle and done the backup then.
