Can you explain some about the situation developing between Barksdale AFB and Offutt AFB as they try to fight over the eventual final location for CyberCommand? My thoughts are that finding and recruiting talent, and laying the foundation for such a large wired infrastructure in the Omaha, Nebraska area may be easier to accomplish than in and around Shreveport, LA. What types of things is the DoD looking for when they choose the final location for this new Command?
It's called Export Control. Usually it falls under products that are developed by Government Contracting companies that sell their products to the Government. For example, if Lockheed Martin develops a new propulsion technology for rockets and sells it to the US Government, it would be Export Controlled and Lockheed would not be allowed to sell or even share details about that technology to customers/vendors outside of the US. Doing so, is an export violation and subject to fines and penalties under US Law.
Anyone remember the
JFCC-NW story a few months back on/.? My best guess is that this takedown is a mutual working between the US and UK governments. We already know the US has a group to do it, but this might show that the UK might have one too.
The WiFi maps is still using the old hack method. You can tell by looking in the bottom left hand corner. In the Google Maps API you should see a color Google logo. In the old "hack"method, the logo does not appear. I should know, my page is still using the old hack method as there is no logo present. Take a look.

There are ways to do and have Google do the work for you. Try this:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=White%20House%20Wash ington%20DC&output=js
This will generate a blank page, but viewing the source will reveal the XML code, including the Lat/long locations that Google found for the search term. Replace "White House Washington DC" with your street addresses and you should get the points you're looking for. From there it's trivial to parse through the XML and grab the lat/long locations.
they're also the ones that keep you and I employed.

Cruising around the NOAA pages a few days ago when this happened, they show live reports from where the Auroras were seen from. THe furthest south that I saw was Fayetville, Arkansas and San Diego California. Auroral activity was pretty strong!
I've found that most corporate sites, both internal and external, require MORE features than most regular web sites. An IE Lite that cuts down on that, would take away those flashy "features":)
Perhaps this is just Google's way of finding morelinks to add to it's search index? Imagine gathering millions of websites that it may not have indexed or found yet. All from links that users of the GWA have visited... possible?
As a contractor living and working at Offutt AFB in Nebraska, this is by far the hardest part. If you can obtain a security clearance for some of the top level accesses, you are almost guaranteed a job especially for things such as this. Defense companies will pay top dollar for those people that have/can obtain clearances and will pay huge referral bonuses if you can refer friends to jump on board as well (up to $10,000 depending on that person's clearance).
I was lucky enough that I was able to intern with a Defense contractor in Nebraska who paid for all my clearances, my schooling and once I graduated I was offered and accepted a full time position.
The only downside is that your work is based on contracts. Many Defense contractor companies have high turnovers rates because their employees will jump on with the company that is either prime or a sub-contractor on a specific contract.
As a DoD Defense Contractor working on these systems, I think this will help tremendously. Currently, we only get patches when Microsoft posts them on their website. From there it needs to be thoroughly tested to ensure the patch will still allow critical software to continue functioning (the government can ill-afford downtime on some of these systems). Beyond that, it then needs to be applied to thousands of other machines on several differnet networks. Of course, we only have a small window to get this all completed.
With an extra month to have this completed, we have a small advantage to have these systems patched.

Fuck!

The "hack" worked when it was posted to digg about 2 days ago. Looks like it was fixed early this morning.

Here's a link to the actual discussion. Looks like this has been corrected with the latest definitions.

Or did I completely miss the story about the kid getting busted for this?

Don't forget to zoom in all the way to see what the moon is really made of.
start hiring politicians? This spin is making me dizzy.

Post a link to a 3 MHz webserver on Slashdot? BRILLIANT!
I always do that! I always seem to miss some mundane detail!

...done here too. Just changed it back to the original. Where's my Xbox?

...until it gets viruses and spyware.
No.. it works... The /. comment system automatically puts a space when pasting links like that. Remove the space and it works!
