Anyone noticed what happens when you open a mapped drive? Try it, run a program/batch/etc from it and look at the loverly "WARNING:- Death to all those who run this program" box that appears.
Its causing hell for all those like me who have batches run on startup for workstations (they are on mapped drives, thanks to my MagicCards (hardware deepfreeze)).
anyone who finds a secure work around, please let us now!

Or another application would be to fit the Field Enginears out with them, think how easy it would be to move that fallen tree, or get the jeep outa the river!
Has no one noticed the massive problem here?
If this is ment for a figting force, how the heck can you hide from fire when wearing this! The backpack is huge, talkabout a painting a target on your back.
Although I suppose the Americans do like to have something to shoot at (perhaps they should paint it blue?)

Let a brit teach you yanks how to make a secure WS. Ok dropping the gump, I work for the British MoD and my job is exactaly yours, apart from I oversee (and do) the making of all WS (Work Stations) within the Defence Procurement Agency of the MoD.
When I started making WS for the DPA they were a little less secure than the ones that Eil is suggesting. However I soon made one improvement, the inroduction of a "Magic Card", a device which returns the HDD (boot sector, fat (and no i dont mean NTFS as im talking about the actual F System), etc) to a predefined image each time the WS reboots. A rebot is demanded by the system each time a user logs off. This ensures that when a idiot user, saves data to the HDD it is deleted. This also ensures that any Temp Files (intRAnet or otherwise) are deleted.
Otherwise we use a basic Nakard-Dell (Packard) machine, no outside lan, but access to the Defence Secured EVA System. Data is imported on a removeable drive via a second machine, which needs not be clasified (it is as the av software is, but that dosnt matter). The second machine simpaly boots to CD and runs a full virus sweep of the removeable drive, then shuts down. It has no HDD of its own, so can not actually access the clasified data. When not in use this removable HDD is kept in a SecNoFoN safe (Secret No Forign Nationals). Oh and to ensure a VScan has been run, the second machine sets a flag at the end of the storage drive, when the main pc boots it checks for this flag if it is not present it demands a VScan and shuts down (if it is present it is deleted, and the machine boots).
As for entry into the room, it is controled by a rifid card (swipe will serve for you), which all members of the base hold (their ID Cards) and only the authorised rifid cards are granted entry to the room. The room contains a shreader and nothing more.
I hope that this has been of some use!

p.s. The machines run a modded version of Win 2k (i have the source woot woot)/.
Why not stick one of those batries which charge from movement in. Like the one in my watch.
Seeing as the head is so far above the center of grav, surely the batts will charge loads.
So the map of a coffee bean. thinkgeek have already got a caffine molecule on a T-Shirt so how long till they have a genitic map of a coffee bean on a T-Shirt.
You saw it here first guys, so i recon that if they do then all/.ers should get a free T!

I blame to Lucian Alliance
In Soviet Russia, the ship crashes you.
See now that is a sensible idea!

Good Point made Charcharodon.
