  1. How does this jive with Force Shaping? on Ask the Air Force Cyber Command General About War in Cyberspace · · Score: 0

    A large number of your company grade communications officers have been involuntarily separated over the last few years under the "Force Shaping" programs. As many as 30-45% in some year groups. Some of these young officers came equipped with the know-how and enthusiasm to carry out AFCYBER's mission. What justifies the search for information warriors when the Air Force is dismissing the "blue-suits" who have already volunteered?

    why not ship the damn thing with slightly yellow-tinted acrylic?

  4. Re:My turn: Democracy on U.S. Insists On Keeping Control Of Internet · · Score: 0

    you forget that the only reason you have the .be domain is because of a US developed and funded system. yes, i'm sure that belgium would love to control a slice of a system they did not develop yet benefit from... that's not the issue. the problem lies in the benefactors of a system wresting control from its owners/inventors. this is no different than one of your fellow belgians whining to google because they control a dearly loved BelgIanwaffULZRoxorz@gmail.com email account. google created their own email service, google funds it. no matter how much they use/enjoy the free email given to them, it's not theirs to take.

    that's a great idea... have the wall-poster networked with a wireless home server. queue up the weather/traffic map in them morning, your favorite b-movie poster during the days, or piece of fine art if a female stops by a /.'ers place in an unusual happenstance. or cover the walls in the stuff to change decor to suit the mood or event. whether that be a yosemite panorama or the scrolling background to super mario bros.

    The ghost of Ayn Rand says "if you can't afford to buy a product, you can't afford to use it. it is immoral to commandeer the sweat of another's brow because you feel you deserve it."

    troll? that is a weak attempt at moderation my friend.

  8. It's like a lathe... on Perspecta Walk Around 3D Display · · Score: 2, Funny

    A spinning display will finally justify our IT depts aversion to neck-ties. Now if we can just find a good excuse for hygeine...

  9. Just speculatiing.... on Arctic Warming Drying Up Lakes · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is just pure speculation, but I'm doubting the records kept of a region such as Siberia are very reliable over the last 100 years. How are we to know if this is unusual or not given the huge number of lakes and the remote location? What are the chances that the Tsars or the Soviets kept decent data on this to give it context?

    the simpsons were ahead of their time. only they predicted the latent potential of the inanimate carbon rod.

  12. this is what gets me on Linux Coming to the Nintendo DS · · Score: 1

    did nintendo think that a linux port wouldn't be made for their system? this is frustrating. think about the possibilites. what if nintendo had embraced linux from the begin with? what if instead of having to reverse engineer wifi and touchpad support nintendo instead released a version themselves. with the intimate knowledge of their own hardware, i'm sure they have the resources to do it. market penetration had to be a vital part of their business plan, especially with the PSP being the first legitimate challenger in years. imagine how many more units they'd move and brand loyalty they'd renew if they were the first to support it. they would already have a proprietary medium and an established line of brands... i can't see why nintendo wouldn't have benefited richly from doing this themselves from the very start.
