First thing you should do is take off the tinfoil hat:

"Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obamaâ(TM)s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures," Fukino said. http://www.kitv.com/politics/17860890/detail.html?rss=hon&psp=news

"As things turned out, when the Obama campaign made a copy of his Certificate of Live Birth from the State of Hawaii available on the internet in June 2008, it validated none of these rumors: The certificate shows his full name to be "Barack Hussein Obama II," it lists is father's race as "African" and his mother's as "Caucasian,", it contains no information about religion, and it reports his birthplace as being Honolulu, Hawaii."
Morover, both of Honolulu's major newspapers (the Advertiser and the Star-Bulletin) published announcements in August 1961 documenting the birth, in Honolulu, of a son to "Mr. and Mrs. Barack H. Obama" on August 4, 1961." http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthcertificate.asp

"So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable." - Christopher Reeve

I'm waiting for the Linux crowd to put out an ad with the same actress and same laptop, saying that Vista just didn't work for her and Office was too expensive, and telling how she downloaded Ubuntu (or Fedora, or...) and installed that on her laptop in place of Vista. "And now it's even faster and easier to use, with free OpenOffice!"

Who are you going to believe? The monopolist who sells the most insecure operating system on the planet, or the US Department of Defense, which has some of the highest security requirements anywhere?

DOD launches site to develop open-source software

Defense Department officials have launched a new Web site where developers can work on open-source software projects specifically for DOD, David Mihelcic, the chief technology officer for the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), said today.
The new site, named Forge.mil, is based on the public site SourceForge.net which hosts thousands of open-source projects, Mihelcic said at an AFCEA Washington chapter lunch in Arlington, Va.
âoeIt is really is SourceForge.net upgraded to meet DOD security requirements,â Mihelcic said.

My son's high school has an IT club; it had been loosely organized, with no real goal other than to allow protogeeks to get together and talk geek. I volunteered to be their mentor, and have them working towards learning how to build a network, with a firewall, DNS server, email server, file server, Linux and Windows client PCs, etc. We're signed up for an IT competition sponsored by a state University: http://www.it-adventures.org/itolympics.html
I don't know if any of these kids will go on to a career in IT, but they're having fun...and so am I.
