Sure the investment will come if the weapons are in common use, but how will the military stay ahead of the EMP curve. That is part of the reason that the military went to COTs in the first place. The need for the technology was outpacing the development time to field the systems.
The M16 needs ammo to function as any thing more than an expensive club. Frag Grenades work only once, and the people need food to keep fighting. Once the supply chain has been broken the need of survival overtakes the will of the fight.
No food will make an army take food from the local population and build more resentment than good will, which leads to more enemies to fight.
The data centers which need to be removed to stop the flow of supplys may not be on the battle field, they may be at some wharehouse or shipping center in a country where no hostilities are taking place.
Things like the F-16 or M-1 MBT are built with proprietary equipment. The items, which support them, are built with COTS, things like the supply system.
If the supporting infrastructure was to be taken out the "Wave of steel" becomes a "pile of scrap metal".
If an enemy can cut the flow of food, fuel, parts or supplies all it has to do is wait and win.
How much time does it take to turn the worlds most formidable fighting machine into a bunch of savages with sticks?
That may be correct, but if you try to circumvent the tracking you may be tagged as a terrorist suspect.
If you have nothing to hide then why were you trying to hide?
"Track 5: Securing Windows" or any of the basic courses for the managers who over see the people who code the programs. I know a few people who code at Redmond, they admit to coding which uses unseure methods or flaws in the software which if fixed will break their application.
Look at the "Learn how to improve your system security" frame notice how there are no classes in the Seattle area. Why not have more security classes in the M$ corporate area? Mabey it would help improve M$ Security if there coders could take a few classes.
Forget Credit Card List the next big scams will be selling voter ID's Receive an email reminding you to vote with a link to the polling site. Instead of an actual polling site it is a fake page to steal your voter information. to be later resold. Talk about throwing your vote away. "you have opted in to let slick Sam be your voting proxy. to opt out email fakeemail@Yahoo.com. your bottle of Viagra will be sent to your registered address.
Also the same people who are going to be administering the voting machines are the same people who can't count a hole in a piece of paper. Exactly how do we expect these people to administer computers? ?
Given the choice, an increasing number of customers will simply bypass the phone company and buy the hardware necessary to acquire the service on their own.
The phone companies have made sure that you dont have a choice. You must buy a voice line to get DSL, that is $20 to $40 a month each user is paying just to have the service to have access to DSL at a additional $40 an up cost per month. That is around $80 per household which has DSL, NICE CASH COW. Most terms of service forbid sharing your connection, therfore Legaly you cannot provide service which compeats with the telco.
Until a non telco network (Wide spread interconnected WIFI network) can be built the telcos can bend the customer over and charge any fees they please. The customers have no choice in order to get service to connect to the internet
"In May 2000, a new CEO and his management team joined MandrakeSoft. With this new management team, the company dramatically increased expenses (by 400%), hired many new employees, and entered into many expensive long-term agreements."
Where did the CEO work at before microsoft?
Many companies have been driven out of business by the same marketing stratige, 1. Aquire company with decent product. 2. Dump product. 3. Profit If no 3 then jump ship and sink another company.
Fortuniltly "As a result, it was soon decided to remove this experienced management team and to refocus the company's activities strictly toward Linux."
So they decided to go back to what worked for them on the first place.
The insurance companies may have standing to intercept any salvage operation of the wrecks.
Once the insurance company pays out the claim they own the ship and cargo. If a salver raises the ship or cargo then the insurance company can collect on the find.
Has any one unknown to you given you any programs to load? Do you have any SSL programs, Pirated Warze, MP3's or linux operating system? WHAT You have Linux with SSL... Airport security we may have a terrorist hacker at gate 12.......
Find out what type of service suits your need, Then look for a provider which can provide the best service (cost Vs speed Vs uptime etc).
Get a service agreement in writing with pertinate information like; quality of service, through put, uptime, response time for problems, remediation for interuption of service and so forth.
You may be screwed by one carrier holding a monopoly in the area. but can go throug a third party for a beter service agreement.
Frame relay works great for data but fails at realtime video.
ATM works better for realtime video.
Backup lines, DSL, ISDN, Frame relay, ATM, Do they run through the same route as the primary line? If they do then the backup fails at the same time that the primary fails.
Get it in writing so if the provider screws you you can get remediation or make them hold up their end of the bargain
burton makes a variety of solar chargers. I've been using the SOLAR-PAK to trickle charge "AA" batteries. but it will not power my cell charger in anything but the most direct sunlight. It still works great for keeping an endless supply of batteries for radios, flashlights etc.
I've seen adds which are the fake error messages with the actual top of the window off the top of the screen. prity cute when the person clikcs the "X" and it is the same as cliking "OK".
Personaly I think that popup adds should be outlawed.
I got a panic call from a clueless and panicked user asking if they should install this software, from the previous popup window text. I told the user to click the "X" and close the window. Clueless and panicked user could not find the "X".
I went over to show clueless user where the "X" was and noticed that the message was all a clickable image on the upper left side of the screen. The actual top of the popup window was off the screen if the user clicked the "X" in the picture the Spyware was downloaded.
I agree with hire a pro for the interior, there are many companies to chose from, ask around.
Computers and electronics are harder; I have found that alcohol works best. DO NOT use denatured alcohol use pharmaceutical grade 99% alcohol. check with a local pharmacy or electronics store, you can buy it by the gallon, just don't drink it.
Fill two plastic tubs with an inch or two and clean each board of the gross contamination then give it a final rinse in the clean tub. Let it dry and reassemble.
Replace the Hard Drives with new ones. The smoke has probably coated the platters and the drives will fail soon.
It has already happened, two years ago a back hoe cut one of the major cross-country backbones, a few days later the same thing happened to another cross-country backbone.
Both ended up being random occurances but heads started popping out of government cubicals......
The government already has that in place and they don't want to share. Why do you think they can do videoconferences from Afghanistan? Much of that runs on commercial backbones and is just as vulnerable.
Decentralize more of the net, spread out the backbones and remove the bottlenecks. Instead of having 5 or 10 backbone providers running through the same fiber bundles waiting to get cut by a "cable seeking backhoe". Run more of the infrastructure through residences, which are all interconnected. Instead of having a spider web type of infrastructure there is more of a fishing net infrastructure.
You break one leg of a spider web a section collapses (Think City) You break one leg of a fishing net there is one broken segment (Think Street)
I fear a "cable seeking backhoe" more than I do any terrorist attack or a router failure, I have seen more regional digital havoc reigned from backhoes than directed attacks.

My fridge makes enough noise already
Now I get more noise
It would be cool to route the fridge through the stereo though.
If you are the artist, and you are playing your own CD via the radio/cdplayer do you still pay to listen to your own music.
