Anyone play Americas Army? This game teachs you how to breath when sniping, and if you pass the initial target practice you goto Snipers School. Based on the Unreal 2003 engine, its suppose to be as close as you can make virtual training.

The old joke about having sex with a vacuum cleaner.

Associated Press report of May 13, 1998:
Man's penis severed by vacuum cleaner
LONG BRANCH, N.J.: A 51-year-old man seeking sexual gratification with a vacuum cleaner nearly bled to death when the machine cut off a half-inch of his penis, authorities said.
The intoxicated man first told police that someone had stabbed him in the crotch as he slept, Long Branch public safety director Louis Napoletano said.
However, officers who responded to Monday's call for help instead realized the man had hoped to obtain sexual pleasure from the appliance's suction, Napoletano said.
"But what he didn't realize is that there's a blade in the vacuum cleaner right under where the hose attaches that pushes the dust into the collection bag," he said.
When the man, who was not identified by police, turned on the vacuum cleaner, the blade cut off part of his penis. The victim told detectives he did not remember the incident.
Doctors at Monmouth Medical Center were able to stop the bleeding but were unable to reattach the severed part, Napoletano said. He was listed in stable condition Tuesday.
Hey, interesting idea, how about expanding the policy to include which system calls, which level, and the amount of times they can use them.
Don't know how CPU intensive, but after reading that Apache httpd ACL, you could really be anal and lock down applications. We currently use EFS on our Sun Boxes, and it locks down the boxes tighter than a drum. Sounds like a nice extension on a theme.
Win2k/XP is a rather nice Desktop OS. Its come a long way, finally stable, good features, and lots of applications and games. (Ya viruses too)
Truely, I dont think linux has a chance on the desktop. Hardware support isn't there, Application are not isn't there (Loki is gone). I know everyone is working thier ass off to make it, but until the average joe will want to drop Windows boxes for a Linux box, linux will be mostly a server os. (I'm not counting the slashdot crowd, most of us dual boot, and/or have a dedicated linux/bsd server.)
Servers are another questions, Unix is the only way I run my shops. After running DNS/SMTP/HTTP on unix and windows, I can tell from experience, a unix type os is the only choice. (We run Solaris) But hey m$ wins again, seems 1/3rd of all unix admin programs run only on windows or if they use a web gui, only IE is supported. (sigh/disgust) - Do you GLTron?

Really, the early adopters are public safety and large corporations. To them its worth the money to switch over to the 3G networks. The high speed and location based services are a very good combo for public safety.
Some of the things switching over to 3G data, ATMs, Point of Sale (CC readers), Vending machines, remote cameras, road survey equipment, police tracking equipement, cargo containers, etc.

shame SuSE wouldn't wait for this release before shipping their product
If every distro waited for updates, no distro would every be released. I currently use SuSE for sparc64, release 7.3 for quite some time, lucky for us, the developers released 3.2 GCC and new kernels (tweaked for sparc32/64) in rpm format us.
Funny, I've had talks with 2 guys who run BSD, (freebsd and one netbsd), and both just wanted KOffice, but didnt want to bother with the (their terms) Bloat of KDE. Both came back with the same argument, If I wanted that fluff, I'd run XP.
These guys will spend hours tweaking the the look of window maker and not realize thats EXACT reason why people want KDE. But KDE goes a step further to offer all the Glueware apps people want, remote desktop control, pim syncronizers, mime type GRAPHICAL file managers, and the other countless useability features they put into the desktop.
BTW, I'm super freaking happy Mosfet is BACK, and releasing a new Liquid engine/theme for KDE. This and the new XFT2 font anti-aliasing, I could do the happy dance.:) - Distrowatch

I remember reading that OpenBSD group wants an audit of the ports tree due to 40% of the ports being broken. Source based packages can have major problems.
BTW, give GPL some freaking credit, it spawned the opensource movement and created many programmers and hobbiests that release some of the best software, FOR FREE. How many of the ports have a GPL or GPL like license? 60-70%?
