  1. Re:Do we have a right to Privacy on the Internet? on Canadian Record Industry Presses ISPs in Court · · Score: 1

    Exactly my point. Can someone stand in the street and look into your window? No. Thats illegal. Then why is a window to your hard drive legal?

    I hope they name them Extreme something. Cause everyone knows that things are better when they are EXTREME!

    By that same right, If I were to leave my garage door open does not mean come on in. At no time was an invitation given. Same holds true with a car with the windows down.

    But is there not a right to privacy? If the RIAA can spy onto your shared folder is that not the same as looking into your house or mail? Are those rights not protected by the law? Lawyer Help me out

  5. Cool Tech on Bell Labs Plants Nanograss to Cool Mobile Chips · · Score: 0

    I would like to see this used in cars to upgrade computers in cars. The more Tech we include in the design of cars the more power we can squeeze from them. 2004 Corvette 405hp 21-29Mpg. Engineering at its finest.

  6. Being in the Military on U.S. Plans Targeted Draft for Computer Personnel · · Score: 0

    I can assure you the intentions are always good. Hoever the decisions made are defined by budget. I am in Computer Network Administration in the AF. My retention Bonus is 60K for 6 more years. Not bad. However that will not be a factor in my descision to Re-Enlist. The move forward like any IT professional is to have fewer admins period. More Deployable networks for quick reaction packages. Base Comm squadrons are being contracted out to CIVs who generally give 2 shits about form and functionality. Microsoft products are not the largest problem because of our Boundry protection in 99% of all AF networks. There will always be hacks that leave something unsecure. So in conclusion- Less money poor decisions or more money even worse decisions. The only thing that Keeps AF Nets going are the dedicated techs such as myself who work 14-15 days straight 12hr shifts 6000 miles away from any conflict and like it. (ok maybe not so much like it)

    Not saying that. Just making a point that these systems are incredible complex and if you think about it, we are really on whatever version that I made up. If you count a pats as a +.1 or whatever.

    You are absolutely crazy if you dont think that exploration doesnt need to happen to provide the technology to pave the way for your "tourist". Wow, what a near-sighted view.

  14. Mars on O'Keefe Under Fire for Hubble, ISS Decisions · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Going to Mars would undoubtedly bring Tech innovations 10 fold increase. I think the money/manpower and pride are worth more than Zealots who think the money could be better spent elsewhere. Going to Mars would only serve to further improve everything here.

  15. Re:Version on Linux Kernel 2.6.4 Released · · Score: 1

    actually it might be the Celerra. I am unsure. It could be the snake to my mongoose or the mongoose to my snake. I was never really good with animals. We have two systems and since we have contracted out the support I rarely use either. Maybe 1-2x a year. One is Sun the other is RedHat.

    We run Red Hat on a Solaris. Not to impressed with the overall scheme of things. But it is stable and the once a month code upgrade doesnt require much downtime.

    Some parts- In PACAF we run Win2K clients and 2K servers We are close to getting XPpro approved since the rest of the AF has it. 2003 should have been approved a long time ago but... sadly there is a horrible engineering dept at Hickam AFB in Hawaii. They are all probably chasing women and playing golf. Nevermind they are computer nerds. They are at home in the dark playing everquest.

    The AF pays for Site licensing. So it doesnt matter what disk you use. Any computer on base is covered under that. Most of the time when we get software Like Win2Kpro or XpPro there is no CD key on the Official disk.

    I am a Network Admin Here in AK and I can tell you that one of the most poisonous aspects of .Mil networking is Civillians. The other is the decisions made by Command Sections who are only interested in one thing, Budgets. It sucks being told that your decision base on good sound Tech principles is not what they want to hear because of the cost involved. The free software giveaway came about because a lot of paperwork is created in time with no war. Therefor people have to take their work home to get finished to make deadlines. So leadership said take a copy home install it. The Mil makes you use it. you have to get the work done so you are entitled to a free copy. Integrity is the hardest thing to keep.

    The NSA no longer does Strikebacks in fear of litigation. However if the source is foreign non friendly then they take some action. But it is a big deal. If one of use decides to press the button we automatically go to jail (no passing go/no $200). Inmates at FtLevenworth dont exactly fear a computer guy who pressed the Strikeback button.
