Of course not! I'm just saying that actual troops being physically trained together, could benefit from exploring and attempting to attack a target in a virtual setting like CS. It would allow for a good deal of strategic simulation. Isolate the two squads in different rooms, and have them figure out the most viable attack and defend strategies. The troops will of course have to be used to firing live ammo but that can be disassociated from the strategic work involved (though the sound would still be simulated on the battlefield).
So what about Counter-Strike with custom maps based on the layout of your target? Say for example a bank, or other public edifices. Publicly available floorplans lead to a rough mockup of the building and it's hallways and rooms. With minimal social engineering, you can get pictures of the inside of areas so you know how to decorate them. Then you could just open the server to the world with highspeed connections. Your troops play both sides, but always work together, while the random people from the net are scattered around the building, leading to high variability, or you can just train 2 squads against each other. By day you have them exercise physically, and at night you have them running through the map to get an understanding of the terrain and its layout. Then when time has come to execute the real attack, your troops are familiar with the target's layout, they know some of the weaknesses, and they're used to following orders and gunfire in their immediate vicinity in somewhat closed spaces.
not if it's in a input stream only capacity... I admittedly don't know the details of syslog.conf and it's capabilities, but once you can send data to another computer, that other computer can control delete access. The uncompromised computer can just act as an append only log storage facility. I don't know quite how syslog.conf ensures that the logging isn't simply stopped or the source falsified. Maybe someone else can weigh in with answers
Would you mind actually sharing that base layout, in some form or another? I've gone to css layouts several times, and read page after page of css tutorials, and guides. CSS Zen garden and the rest, and there are so many gotchas and details that drive me nuts, I find one little neat feature, and then find a second, and then they are mutually exclusive, or I don't understand how one affects the other. Trying to build a whole system from these snippets step by step has seemed incredibly painful, and I feel like I must be doing it wrong. I've gone through the attempt to learn once a year for 3 years now. I'm definitely a backend type coder for the most part, and so have really stayed away from user interfaces in most languages I've used unless they have a good guibuilder, but HTML ajax and the like don't really have that (correct me if I'm wrong!), so my work on the web has been of a much more functional nature than pretty. Table layouts have always made sense to me, but I've read all the reasons why that breaks things, and is bad unless you're intentionally displaying tabular data.
Follow up question is how do you code your frontend side, do you use a flattext editor (with/without syntax coloring) and preview in a standards following browser every time you save? Or do you have a good IDE that shows you side by side as you code how your changes will affect the layout? (and is it standards following?, because I've seen MSVisualStudio and Eclipse and Dreamweaver with various plugins, but the output in their viewer never looks the way it looks in the end: Firefox or ie for that matter) I've just learned to use several ides side by side and use them to validate the code, and use the browser to preview until things look acceptable.
hotmail has at least 100x the number of users slashdot has, in fact I went and looked at the current numbers on wikipedia and its on the order of 260 million hotmail to just under a million accounts registered on slashdot (and that's without removing dead users on both sides)

You can actually display itunes embedded in the task bar too!
Right-click on the task bar, and go to toolbars, and select the itunes toolbar.
just thought you'd like to know. It was a nifty feature when I was stuck on a tiny single screen for awhile.
I think he's saying that Amazon and others get value by pushing their branding, and ads in your face when you use them. Some percentage of users actually generate revenue even though they were only contacted through these free options. Mashups, especially vertical search engines, can cause problems for the providers, because they let a user who currently uses that free stuff and is occasionally swayed by the ads, still get the value (and more) out of the free stuff, without providing any value, AND it lets many more people who didn't use the free data, profit off amazon's grace AND often suck up their outbound bandwidth much more than if the service didn't exist. Amazon's *free data* suddenly lost much of it's value to them, while also suddenly increasing in cost.
Hold on a sec, see, most consumer bikes I saw until I was 20 all came with chain guards. Even serious Trek mountain bikes had these plastic disks on the outside of the gears that prevented your pants leg from getting casually covered in grease, or actually caught in the gears and chain. It wasn't until a spectacular highspeed accident I had, that involved a large flat clear sidewalk with no obstacles in sight, a broken laptop bag strap, and a front flip or two, that I had that plastic disk broken away. The bike lives again through a good deal of unbending and rebalancing, but I found out that most fully assembled bikes come with that disk, however every single gear stack has slightly different attachments, size, etc and because of that, none of the 3 bike shops I visited could offer me any other solution than to: a) buy a new gearset (possibly with the bike) b) roll up my pants leg c) use a pants strap -- a goofy neon yellow reflector attached piece of velcro I get to carry with me whenever I don't want to damage my clothes while riding my bike. The manufacturers don't have a standard attachment or two for those disks (wtf) so they just don't ship them without the bike. Anyways, until that point I would have just thought the guy was nuts trying to be in some weird pseudo style, so I'm not surprised he [gp] hasn't been in contact with a bike with an exposed chain+gearset, and so might not know to expect that explanation.
Use the bugmenot firefox extension! That's what I do... I don't know about the long term effects of giving good karma to random usernames on random boards, are, however it lets me feel good about helping out, even if in the end it's anonymous and nobody can ever tie it back to me.
...Till Later. If they had to wait till every phone was received, then send it to whereever they process the phones as a big batch (Mexico? China?) Then wait until they are batch shipped back, then finally send it back to you, I bet it would take way too long. However if they just wait until the device is received at a preprocessing center, they verify the serial and model details, then they can just toss it into a container and pick out an identical, tested, refurb unit that they send to you, immediately. The container gets sent off eventually, for much cheaper shipping for them. And the service center guts those units, takes all the working parts, and puts them back together into a unit that gets tagged as refurb, certified new battery, and gets sent back to the preprocessing center as a big batch.
Better experience all around, and probably cheaper operating costs. But that's just my guess.
well... it looks like you linked to an essentially empty article. Congratulations on appearing to be informative, but not checking your links. I know I could edit the page, but I went to the page to read about the available artificial sunlight options... because I didn't already know.
I used the free version of Trillian for around 3 years before I paid so I could play with the devkit to try to make a plugin. Learned alot from it, messed around with it a good deal, and have yet to see anything better on Windows. I use it to manage 3 aim names 1 yahoo 1 icq 1 msn 1 gmail(gtalk via jabber) 1 livejournal(jabber) accounts that are always connected, and then occasionally use it to access 3 other accounts. I like it's logging, I have around 6 years of conversations with some of my friends, soon to be 7. The only features of the full version I really use today is a message splitter plugin that deals seamlessly with things if I happen to accidentally send a message that is too long. I will seriously consider buying Trillian at it's next release, but the free version is really great.
I've played with gaim at different times, and I really like it for the fact that it works on many Operating systems, have played with Gaim on Debian, redhat, OSX and windows, but it yet hasn't cut it for me. I don't have time to try to help the project myself right now, but if I had to point at the client with the most potential, it would be GAIM if enough people in the community were to push it, it could outpace Trillian. AdiumX I've enjoyed for mac, but I don't have much stellar to say about it. It's visually quite pleasing.
All of the clients I've tried have had very frustrating experiences with file-transfer to other non-identical clients. Trillian seems to work best with trillian, gaim with gaim, and adiumx with adiumx. Ditto for Video/Audio and finally, possibly the most frustrating, is the non-existence of a good encryption system that is client independent. If somebody does put that out there, so that clients can interoperate in complete secured privacy, I would switch over immediately, and advocate the encryption of all my e-mail.

Wait! Your bank lets you ssh in? Where can I get in on that? All I get is lousy SSL.

and getting a USB phone/headset wouldn't help?
So... what a special vpn for logging? or a totally separate wired network?

hmpf. Henry Kissinger: "Even a paranoid can have enemies."
plus I just thought it was a funny coincidence.
--Whoops, did I say that? I meant:
I don't believe you, you must be one of them!
Mom!!? DoubleLayer the tinfoil!
They do ship it with the iPhone howevery :) it's a tiny little near-cube with a usb port on 1 side, and pop out mains prongs on the other.
Why the heck do you get a consultant if you don't care about quality? That doesn't make any sense to me.
not only embedded, but stripped!

you're comparing Safari 3 on windows to Safari 2 on OSX... Get leopard [timemachine to october, and bring it back] and then compare...
