As an ex Army officer, I'd go navy today as with experience I had in the army, don't get me wrong I learned a lot in the army, its just if you want high tech, the navy, in my opinion is ahead of even the air force they have a huge developing need for data analysis & that means a need for computer jocks , also the navy is (from what I've observed) using a lot more Linux than either of the other service branches does at present. just food for thought.

The cop was with in his right to arrest him, right or wrong, the supreme court says you have to give it up when a cop asks for an I.D. card. I don't agree with it, but they have up held this idea twice, once in 2004 and before that in 1985. So the cop had the discretion to arrest the guy if he wanted. here's a cut and paste from the supreme court case which sets the case law for the concept:
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 03--5554 LARRY D. HIIBEL, PETITIONER v. SIXTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF NEVADA, HUMBOLDT COUNTY, et al. ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA
[June 21, 2004]
Justice Kennedy delivered the opinion of the Court.
The petitioner was arrested and convicted for refusing to identify himself during a stop allowed by Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968). He challenges his conviction under the Fourth and Fifth Amendments to the United States Constitution, applicable to the States through the Fourteenth Amendment. ""1. Any peace officer may detain any person whom the officer encounters under circumstances which reasonably indicate that the person has committed, is committing or is about to commit a crime."
"3. The officer may detain the person pursuant to this section only to ascertain his identity and the suspicious circumstances surrounding his presence abroad. Any person so detained shall identify himself, but may not be compelled to answer any other inquiry of any peace officer." While I feel it to be a 5th amendment violation, the Supreme court say give it up upon request! Also it doesn't mater if the guy was guilty of any thing before the arrest, it matters if he was obstructing and delaying the cop by not giving up the ID upon request.
The "Mouse" character from the show absolutely without doubt was modeled from a real life Valkyrie I know personally, rigth down to the TATS & a penchant for swords
Sadly nothing, Linus Torvalds has already said he isn't moving linux to the gpl3 when it finally comes out, so as linux will remain under gpl#2, Suse and Microsoft are free to play the divide and conquer game I suspect they are planing on, where they can try and split the Linux community over the Microsoft/Suse deal. Also I think that Linux staying under GPL#2 does play into Microsofts hand. But this is my Opinion! What do you think?
If you've ever met Richard Stallman you would understand just how irrelevant he's become. True he started the movement that lead to FOSS & Linux, but in the end he isn't the inventor of Linux, Linus Torvalds is and if Linus says no to GPL#3 then Linux wont go there. This isn't the first time projects have forked due to philosophical differences and it won't be the last. Stallman is trying to set free the Linux community from a contract it (the community) likes and has used successfully to make in-roads in the IT community at large. While I understand the DRM issues that Stallman is pushing for the GPL rewrite and agree that many times draconian DRM is used to stifle competition, the idea that one person has total control of what has been purported as being a free and open source for software in the end becomes just as Draconian as the Draconian abusers of DRM in the first place. If we are to see FOSS grow into its full potential then we need to embrace that there are people who will want to pick and choose which GPL 2 or 3 that they can license their works under. And remember that freedom of that choice will benefit the entire FOSS community as a whole. By embracing the concept of choice to the end user and the content and software creators as a community, you offer them the freedom of choice. That is what FOSS is all about. Freedom
uhh xandros comes bundled with crossover office a gui implement of WINE ( yes it costs & yes it works) and it should run access and Word, I use it for IE for web sites that have been asp'd. the other softwae she needs could come from open source. just do a cd or dvd backup before you deploy the switch over

This was originally posted in march, I think, but it is legit, even though the Rfid industry pushed a large disinformation campaign about it then. The problem is the people using the technology, namely walmart here in america are using it to automate the data collection methodology and reduce reliance on humans to do the collecting of data on product moving off the shelf with the hand held bar code readers, its this automation that allows this vector to propogate, because the human is out of the loop. It's not really good for a hack into the main frame, but its a good way for the disgruntled exemployee to walk in with a corrupted rfid in his/her pocket and spoil the database. However, if 1000 people walked into a walmart each with an rfid chip in thier pocket, this could get really ugly at the next stockholders meeting in Bentonville.
While not a total ball buster, it is a nusiance attack that can cost hundreds if not thousands to correct individually.
Hmm on sourceforge they have a roup investigating that idea as we speak, I forget the name, but they are moving ahead with the concept, albeit in a slow pace.
well remeber guys, there are lies' damn lies and then, Statistics! If this guy is quoting statistics, find his source and I'll bet he's leaving a large but as yet unidentified population source out of the equation, to sway the final tally!
(remember guys it really doesn't matter which one you pick as long as you pick one) Ethanol could be a serious contender to replace Gasoline in the long term, but in the near term its only gonna be a sliver, for the next 10 years atleast. As for other alternatives like biodiesel, which has had a 4 fold increase in use over the last five years , it actually has more traction for a fuel replacement, as it has grown from 5 million gallons in 1999 to over 100 million last year alone. If you don't believe me, google it, biodiesel plants are building in North Carolina, South Carolina, North & South Dakota, Iowa, Ohio, , Missourri, and whole lot of other places I missed out on last year alone.
it means office 12 won't support the list of present file type/ structures lik doc files, and MS is of course going to make you pay to upgrade and the state of Mass looked at open office(aka its alot cheaper and reads all the afore mentioned files), then flip'd MS the finger.

hey, this isn't your usual protocol droid! now is it?!?!?
5 points for the esoteric punch line!
yes, yes they did and I do on my linux box at home
Then why are they shuffling all the vista team honchos out and pulling the XBOX team from XBOX and reassigninging them to the vista project.A rticle=/Computing/Platforms/R7G5G6U4
