The Military is working with Sun on several projects. Below is a quote from a news article on PRnewswire.com.
Sun Microsystems,
Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW) today announced its alliance with the United States Army
Accessions Command (USAAC) on the design and implementation of its document
management solution and new iRecruiter portal for the recruitment and training
of volunteers and their assignment to units. To help lower costs, improve
efficiencies and better support its mission of transforming volunteers
into soldiers and officers for the U.S. Army, USAAC chose the Sun
Java(TM) System platform for its integrated portal and identity
management solution and Sun StorEdge(TM) technology for its document
management solution.
This is why they are working on Military grade security.
Its great to hear that they will be both accessable on the web and then later on DVD. Personally I sometimes don't get home from work on fridays till after 7 and I don't want to miss these. I am a die hard Star Wars fan(yes Nerd and proud).
There will be an addition to the BSOD's fasmily if this should happen. The GBSOD, meaning Google's Blue Screen Of death.
"I'm sorry your search has caused a invalid return of results Error code AS10007845G321J"
Which like MS's codes will tell us nothng.
Just ran ad-aware, the long lost program that saves us all the headache. Got rid of several spy/adware programs that were installed on my Work machine which I inherited from the managers(computer morons) and my lord there were roughly 177 spy/ad related entries.
Yet again I am reminded that power does not mean intellegence.
Had a similar problem with N-case was eventually able to remove it by repeating the un-install proccess several times then restarting and repeating it one last time. Hope this helps.
Also never noticed it being installed either till I was freeing up some hard drive space and saw it in add/remove programs.
I agree that spyware is annoying, and in some cases damaging. But this is the case with all things when taken to the extreme or abused. Spyware does have its uses when used properly and without extememity(forgive my spelling). Spyware/adware provide people who offer free software with a method of paying the bills but not having the client pay through cash but rather through popups, or simple research infomation as opposed to charging the client out right. Granted Gator'd popups are annoying, in my opinion they are relativly harmless. If its that annoying to you, have one machine offline that you install all software that requires adware/spyware so that it cannot connect to its advetisements. And stop visiting those questionable porn sites, now thats harder said than done.
I for one will enjoy looking into updates on this.
I loved watching the Red hat vs Sco battle(which is still on going) I will enjoy watching ICANN and Verisign duke it out. Personally I hopw ICANN wins and gets rid of this verisign abuse of power.
In the article written by a former member of Novell, its a very good point that he states concerning open science and source. Think of gravity, can you imagine if we weren't all free to uinderstand the princples of it. We'd probably be spending alot more time on the ground, no space travel, worst of all, crowded highways(this is provided that the internal combustion engine was shared).
IBM has been a long supporter of linux in the past and I am not suprised by this move as more and more companies are becoming aware and using non-Windows OSes. I am finally gratified in seeing free software promoted on major advertising spots, instead of seeing those stupid AOL and MSN internet ads.

Perhaps we'll get our chance to see Marvin the Martian. Any chance NASA is taking requests for autographs?
The people who took this seriously.....come one people learn to laugh and enjoy a good joke.
