An Anonymous Coward tells us that war is good for the country. Isn't that special. Can someone please check and see if the parent post's IP is based in the Whitehouse? The tone is a little too familiar.
During my brief tour in the looney bin, I learned that people who talk to God can be perfectly normal. On the other hand, people who hear God talk to them are totally nuts.
The UAVs would have receivers of various types that could be considered EW instruments.
Warfare isn't always about turning everything into smoking piles.
If only my network administrators and/or supervisors thought like you. It took several months of begging to get a junker out of the warehouse that I could use for linux, so I didn't need to have a dual boot machine. They are a huge PITA.
How people develop software on multiple platforms without having a sample of those platforms that they can destroy occasionally is beyond me.
Sadly, this kind of thing happens all the bloody time. With so many school administrators being little hitlers by nature, it probably won't change any time soon. The corporate world follows the same model. Consider it a learning experience and bone up on your ass kissing skills. They will take you far.
Because of Google's "Do No Evil" policy, as a corporation they may not want to touch the project. Maybe snatching up their employee's is the FBI's best option. I've heard some rumors of one project along these lines and it does sound a lot like what Google does, accompanied by even more extensive data mining. I think it's refreshing that the FBI is finally starting to view the Web as a source of information. Hopefully they will concentrate on what is really important and have extensive filtering in place to weed out the trivial and erroneous. We certainly don't want them going off on innocent Slashdot users.
Colleges who focus on one language and/or platform are doing their students (dare we say "customers"?) a disservice. The software world is not static and probably never will be. There is no perfect programming language and young developers should be taught that up front.
You've got the idea. Some go to the dark side and become management, but some of us keep on coding. I've just passed my 25th year of professional programming and it's still the same as it ever was. If you have the talent for learning new things in a short period of time, you may be forever employable.
One plus for employers when it comes to hiring us aging hulks is that we have proven we are trustworthy. We can see your secret sauce and your customer data without you having to fear that we are going to steal it all and run to a country without an extradition agreement. We've already had those chances and decided we were a little better than that.

I'd have to retire a few machines from my home network.

I've never taken the SAT, so there is no way I can be a genius. Don't remember the IQ score either, if that's any indication.
Where will all the human viruses go when their host OS becomes obsolete?

Considering the work I've seen from some Masters and Doctorate level graduates, I'd guess this has been going on for years.

Amazing! You da man.
What body part might Jimi use to measure an inch? And the yard long part is? Sorry Jimi :)
