The military is run very much like any other enterprise; cell phones, fax machines, computers, and -printers-. lots of paperwork. a big part of the military is moving data/information, documenting it, getting it in front of people to make decisions. alot of paying bills, aquiring supplies, etc.

anything that helps a business run pretty much helps the military run. the better it is, the more efficient the war machine is.

(although im sure some vets would disagree the paperwork helps anything... haha.. but you get the idea)

Which is why I'm not looking for a new provider right now.

if it did, I'd be looking up new plans in my area. Thats just rediculous. They are altering and restricting service, with no added benefits anywhere?

The competitors should be advertising that they arent fairpoint as their best marketing campaign ever.

In a world where wiretaps, illegal searches, etc are very big issues, how on earth is simply keeping track of public and readily available, likely easily searchable blogs not an obvious choice over the other ways to gather information??

If slashdot had a terrorist corner, id expect the DHS to log in now and again. anything less would be negligent.

P.S. they should post anon. you know, for security.

Seems like a simple case...

extract blood
grow clone
compare characteristics
???
justice!

can i add one more bullet?
make raptors!

Well i guess it was good scientists that found it. If it was evil, we'd be seeing a kick-ass LAIR being built!

Yeah, I see the solution so clearly now, Was trying to solve this riddle for years.

'Cheating on your husband' is to 'virgin birth'
as 'drunken emailing' is to 'sleep mailing'.

SOLVED!

This is actually pretty cool... and I'll tell you why I feel that way.

If it just worked, I'd be amazed at the results, follow the discoveries. But there's something about it NOT working that reminds me this is the cuttingf edge of the cutting edge. Thi is when the rocket launch explodes on the pad, this is when the systems fail... and it shouts "humanity is working outside its limits, and we're pushing those limits every time we do something like this". I dig it when the REALLY REALLY smart people have issues with something... usually thats very cool stuff.

I should say when they have trouble with 'technical/physics/electronics' kind of stuff. Not with women. We know they have trouble there already.

it's linked in the news article. It was well written, not off topic, and expressed a reasonable concern about the time period students have to get to know the school apparently. It was not "spam" at all.

It sounds like the professors are more butthurt she got their email addresses than interested in responding to the concern she expressed.

They simply should have redirected her appeal to the right people if it was not appropriate to be sent via that email list. Instead they are being punative.

The original poster was clearly making a joke by posting it anon. irony is thick and funny in that post.

oddly, this post is informative, but should be moderated as sadly informative.

the arguments continued... that Zebulon would bring down a fleet of Vogon constructor ships upon the first ammendment if he should not be pleased.

I posted that weak ass hitchhiker reference just because I was hoping to be one of the first people to say something diparaging without being anon... posting anon coward would be too obvious. perhaps the forums should use the coward moniker..seems to really put people in their place here!

Well that, and Zebulon really made me think of mork from orc... :)

You just need to point her down at the beaches of Hawaii a few times a year and capture some of the scenery.

can you say gigapixelboobs.com?

but from what I've seen, they get overturned, brought down to a reasonable level, or end upo being way more than the person can afford... which actually doesnt send a very good statement at all.

On the other hand... screw it, take his kidney.

"Why yes Tina, that was a commercial for Ferrari, followed by a Tiffanys spot. What was that.., oh, your panties just semeed to have fallen to your shoes."

I think more people know what firefox is, as the "browser that works better and has less viruses" to the general public.

  Mozilla is relatively unknown to people outside of our little slashosphere.

Sure, but i wuoudlnt be suprised if they announce they have found a way to counter the sound waves, redirect them up, or something i've never heard of before.

maybe propellers will always cause waves, but that doesnt mean we cant quiet them somehow with the right technology. I guess we'll know what 2 years and some funding can get us though eh? meet back here in 2 years :)
