If SAIC is running the show it's no wonder that it is difficult for them to staff the positions. No self respecting IT professional would accept a job under a company that treats their employees like crap.
Additionally, choosing "Combat Veterans" over IT professionals will eventually cause this entire project to fail. Field IT is not a qualification for running a full blow offensive security command. Most of these people are using pre-configured equipment in shock cases and only need to know that cable A goes to port B, then press power. If the government is concerned that civilian personnel will not know what the data they are protecting should look like, then they should train them to know what they are looking at.
Why do we always outsource to places that are stuck in eternal struggles. Seriously, when was the last time Iceland or New Zeland had some terrorist plot or civil war ensue.
I think its great that/. gives me all the news that I care about, but I'm really starting to second guess it. IE: this article is a weekend killer knowing that I will now have to push over 1000 IAVA's sometime in the near future......
*hugs his 50 meg DSL* Ahhhh, 50 mbps down, 3 mbps up. I think that YahooBB would make a killing in other parts of the world. And better yet, I only pay 4000 yen for the connection (about 38-40 US $). On the other hand, it is basically just a giant LAN here in Japan.
Just so you know, the US government is using Linux and unix in some sectors. The military uses a Linux server (RedHat 9 AS) to run item tracking/recieving/distribution point. They also use Unix for the same purposes just in different sector. A little group called NMCI (Navy Marine Corps Infrastructure (?)) has been trying to block the use of open source because the believe that Linux and Unix are very insecure compared to a fully patched NT4 ISS. Someone lied to them...... But none the less, Linux and Unix both have places in the government with the military. Even though Microsoft has a monopoly on the market for idiot users, there will always be a few of us that choose the alternative, and some of them are here in the government.
most wanted terrorists list? I think thats a good idea. As a member of our nations finest fighting force, it's my opinion that we should migrate this war to Utah against one of the biggest terrirosts of all.....SCO. Is it really that far fetched? I see striking similarties between Daryl McBride and Saddam Hussein, anyone else seeing them?
i gotta find the ip to this thing. wonder if they have AV installed or if i could slip BO2K or netbus in. that would be 1 hell of a remote control boat.

It would be nice to leech the HD from your . I think at that point, I'd only be paying for basic utilities.

Why not just hook them up to the BrainPort? A step closer to helping them "see" again......
