Which is exactly how DoD Contracting usually works. Usually, it's not even a solution; it's just more crap that some General or SES wants. A few years later, they get a VP Job with the same Contractor.
This just in, many horse whip manufacturers are out of business due to the success of the automobile. Industry analysts predict that only niche markets such as horse racing and S&M remain.
Too add to gristlebud's post, there are other locations that support the USA's current military efforts and are located in somewhat less hazardous locations. Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain (among others) aren't quite as exciting, but you can do important work there without getting involved with all of the DoD Contracting BS that is omnipresent in CONUS.
There are different types of radiation, and I know of no battlespace detection systems equivalent to radar arrays that are designed to detect the three most common types of nuclear radiation (alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays) or neutron radiation. The post by trelanexiph showed no understanding of this. However, your post indicates knowledge of this subject. Please read the post by trelanexiph; does it make sense to you?
Actually, the insurgency would have been over very quickly if every male between 16 and 70 had been executed. Of course, that would be a monstrous atrocity, but it would be effective. After all, Rome didn't get much grief from Carthage after the Third Punic War. Fingerprinting doesn't seem so harsh in comparison.
Did you notice the line below "Download Now"? It states, "Currently no stable releases". It's a bit premature to put this on your network, but this project does have merit and it lists a useful set of features.
As for the intro - Cisco already has alternatives; Juniper is what the big boys (Tier 1 ISPs) use; Foundry and Extreme are solid alternatives too. I do like the "by your own bootstraps" mindset of this and other open source projects, so hopefully this will compete in the SOHO market.
I apologize for not responding earlier. I appreciate your thanks, but honestly, I'm a bit uncomfortable about the thanks I have received, since there are many who have made and still make serious sacrifices. My duty did have its hardships, but it pales in comparison to the hardships faced by others, including your countrymen who are part of NATO ISAF in Afghanistan.
When I made my original response post in this discussion, I wanted to explain to MMC Monster that we all have had difficult jobs in our lives. Unfortunately, I worded my response hastily and it came off as "holier than thou".
Wow... what a thing to be told. "your unit is to be a meatshield while we reorganize troops and equipment for a counterattack." What was the "nice" way they told you guys as a unit that was your expected role?? I'm having a hard time trying to figure that one out.
Actually, the units expected to live a few hours or days were the "meatshields"; my company was a high value rear echelon support unit. Three weeks was about how long it was expected that we and our NATO counterparts evade the Soviet airborne brigade tasked to kill us.
To clarify, I was a Soldier in West Germany in the early 1980's (three minutes to midnight on the Doomsday Clock); our unit was expected to survive for about three weeks in the event of a NATO / Warsaw Pact conflict (other units were as low as a few hours). Yes, I was protecting him indirectly, just as millions of Soldiers and Police protect the rest of us (myself included) every day.
In the 1980's, there was no such thing as deployed pay for overseas duty, and we paid all federal and state taxes as well as Social Security. Hazardous Duty Pay today is still only about $150 a month.
Yes, we given "three hots and a cot", and our facilities were decent. However, when you are in the field, your living conditions can be a bit primitive, and you can be out there for quite a while. Yes, there were benefits, but the downside risks are very serious. You never forget the first time you are given mission load (the ammunition you will use) and told "this is not an exercise". Thankfully, I never faced combat, especially since a war in 1980's Europe would have gotten very ugly, very quickly.
In my original post, I just wanted to point out that we each have our cross to bear and we each chose it.

Then let's saddle up and go hunt down Osama and his band of Koran thumping goat herders! Which gun clubs are doing this?

If they want to live under Sharia law, then exile them to a country with Sharia law. Obviously they think they would be happier there.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is a classic example of why /. can never be taken seriously as a forum for political discourse.
The "franchise" ran its course. Everyone should let it go and make way for other science fiction series.

Move north.
How do you really feel about Rockwell Collins?

In the People's Republic of Slashdot it is.
Too bad I don't have mod points; your comment is exactly right. Larger, more complex tasks require larger, more complex organizations.

Tell us? There's a story behind that.
I honor their memory. Please give my regards to your father.
You're welcome. I'm glad that I served. I am genuinely happy that the totalitarian nightmare of the Soviet Union is now merely a bad memory.
Only under certain circumstances. Feel free to look it up.

For three years, I made about $15K a year as a Soldier protecting you. You're welcome.
Trashing botted PCs?
Ethical - yes.
Legal - no.
Fun - oh hell yeah.
Right. Call me cynical, but I don't think that the police would be interested or even capable of doing anything.
Get a Roomba for cleaning the house; get a Bolo for destroying it.
I'm considering taking up skydiving to overcome my BF2 addition. Of course, in real life I don't get to re-spawn if my main and secondary fail.
