NURP 40 TW 194
NURP 37 OK 76
Just speculating but I wonder if NURP = Non-unit related personnel (aka civilians etc.)...
The numbers could be grid references along with information relating to their preparedness for attack.
TW = Threat Watch?
OK = Order Known?
Being a little sensitive aren't we? I suppose you think the Chinese belong in a maruta factory or something?!
Clearly he was referring to the fact that only a few decades ago it was Japan, not China that was known for its cheap low quality electronics... in time China will advance and some other so called "third world" nation will take their place as the low cost / quality source.
I would say that this type of article is exactly the type of content that Slashdot should be reporting... it involves one of the largest network infrastructure providers losing a significant part of what would probably be their largest market (if not now, then at least over the next decade)
And why should a tech news site care about the weather or problems borne out of greed and prejudice like the situation with the financial system or the unrest in the middle east?!
Higher powered lasers have been banned in Australia since way before the media reported incidents of shining lasers on aircraft appeared... any handheld self powered laser >1mW is prohibited.
I think that while the bans reduced availability of lasers high powered lasers to the general public the novelty factor for those that do have them makes many of those people more reckless.
The constitution places the power to declare war and issue letters of marque with the congress, not the executive. It's up to the congress to tell the military who's an enemy, not the other way around.
Whoever has taken it upon themselves to do this has libeled Assange.
-jcr
I'll probably get modded to -1 for saying this and appearing to be anti-assange (which I am not) but I think all this is being taken out of context.
If you read the offending document (US Air Force charges against an unknown female USAF Analyst) it simply states as one of the "Matters" a charge of "Communicating with the enemy"... it doesn't say that Assange and or Wikileaks are "the enemy".
To be honest I feel that lately Assange is making himself look more and more paranoid... probably to the delight of the US Govt.
The US Govt. will probably let him carry on about it in the media for a while and then in a few weeks discredit him with a media release stating that the document has been incorrectly interpreted and that Assange / Wikileaks have not (as yet) been declared an enemy of the state.
Haha... you really need to take a good look and consider who are the sheep and who is the shepherd!
Do you honestly believe that the US Govt. doesn't have backdoors / access to backdoors in 99% of US telecoms tech?
Lol... I clicked on the article and the first thing I thought (based on the picture) was Melinda Gates = Chloe from Fight Club.
Narrator: Oh, yeah, Chloe... Chloe looked the way Meryl Streep's skeleton would look if you made it smile and walk around the party being extra nice to everybody.
Chloe: Well, I'm still here. But I don't know for how long. That's as much certainty as anyone can give me. But I've got some good news: I no longer have any fear of death. But... I am in a pretty lonely place. No one will have sex with me. I'm so close to the end, and all I want is to get laid for the last time. I have pornographic movies in my apartment, and lubricants, and amyl nitrite...

Looking at that article it is fairly clear that there is an edit war being waged... I wouldn't trust for NPOV personally.
Atmospheric nuclear expolisions can also cause a spike in C14... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-14
The obvious answer is that earth was nuked in the year 775!!!
Coward! Stay and fight!
Ive had reasons to dislike this government since I started thiking for myself. You think I am going to let them threaten me away from my familial homeland? Fuck them....stay here and be the resistance!

Auto-add to DHS watchlist.
If the US DoD are purchasing electronic components on the secondary market from marketplaces like ICSource, IC2IC and posting RFQ's with NATO part numbers expecting the Chinese vendors to decipher them and then interpret the MIL standards they specify with complete accuracy then they need their heads checked.
Vendors peddling re-manufactured / recycled stock or stock with modified date codes will be the least of their worries.
If they expect that level of accuracy and QC with no effort on their part then they should stick to buying components directly from the original manufacturer.
And if the manufacturer EOL's a critical component for your $10B aircraft then make damned sure you stock up before the last buy production run is gone!
H. R. 347, better known to those in the DC beltway as the 'Trespass Bill' — potentially makes peaceable protest anywhere in the U.S. a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. H. R. 347, and it's companion senate bill S. 1794, make protest of any type potentially a federal offense with anywhere from a year to 10 years in federal prison, providing it occurs in the presence of elites brandishing Secret Service protection, or during an officially defined 'National Special Security Event' (NSSE). NSSEs , ( an invention of Bill Clinton) are events which have been deemed worthy of Secret Service protection, which previously received no such treatment... Past NSSE events included the funerals of Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan, and the national security concern that was Superbowl XXXVI. Other NSSE protected events include the Academy Awards and the 2008 Democratic and Republican National Conventions... HR 347 & S. 1794 insulates such events as the G-8, WTO and presidential conventions against tough questions and politically justified protests.
