Classification authority stems from Presidential Executive Order. The Army (or any other Government component) can not counter that.

...

That said... I agree; the POTUS should make that change.

More the shame that we haven't elected a slashdotter as President.

With all due deference to a slashdotter with a 3 digit UID, I'd like to point out the danger of your last statement.

Primarily, the risk is that your smaller, side-projects may indeed pan out to be your primary revenue stream in the business environment of the future. But the consolidation affect is at least as dangerous. The conclusions that can be drawn by a talented analysts from the sum total of your small, seemingly insignificant data leaks can be staggeringly powerful. And if you think that your company is not worth the time of a talented analyst, then you may not have been paying attention to the cultural make-up of our current competitors in the world today. -- They take the time to analyze everything they can.

Now, I don't want to go off on a rant... but I did want to throw that out.

...

That said... Sure. Holiday pics fit nicely into a cloud.

I never did have any disk drives for it; I had to reenter the code every time I turned it on.

...

I've always credited it (we call it Blinky, BTW... since that's all it does) with my career in IT. - My dad was the first guy in the neighborhood with an actual computer and I was writing assembler code in 1978. I learned two things:1) digital processing was the wave of the future, and 2) I didn't want to be a programmer (I'm a network security engineer). - But of course, if you've ever done assembler code by switching 8 toggles up and down to form Hex instructions one-by-one, you'll understand.

I was keeping it purely for sentimental reasons... but if this guy builds a furver for it... maybe I finally get the infamous DotDotDot :

1- get a computer in grade school

2- build a career in IT

3) ...

4) Profit!

:)

...

Sadly, that won't prevent people from trying to sue somebody, these days...

Might I humbly suggest that you have a quick look at my slashdot signature that appears below?

If it helps... I heard a joke recently: All new College freshmen in STEM tracts should change to Philosophy. ... When they graduate they STILL won't be able to get a job, but at least they will know WHY.

But on a serious, personal note; Good Luck, brother...

That's in contrast to the normal day-to-day inflammatory crap they post in an attempt to be funny. - so I can see how you could get confused...

(wow... i would not have guessed when I woke up this morning that I'd be posting on slashdot in support of the staff of The Onion... what a weird day)

It's not so bad when you put it into context.

Just a suggestion, - check the WayBack(tm) machine for the interview of Alton Brown (of Good Eats fame).

. Try Blair's 2:00am (or even the new 3:00am), Mad Dog 357, or any of the Black Momba variants. - I keep those on a special shelf (along with a bottle called Satin's Blood I got from a small, local company in South East Virginia) for use when a party guest gets too confident after trying the stuff I keep on the table (like Endorphin Rush) and starts talking smack.

Maybe I've just burnt my taste buds too far, but anything at less than 330,000 Scoville units can't be considered a SUPER sauce. (which also rules out most of the Dave's line of sauces.... but I admit they are some of my favorites due to great taste in addition to nice heat). Heck, with so many sauces topping 1 million units, even the 300K number is in doubt.

I'll just have to ""Friend"" you instead...

Ever since they used it on the intro to The Lone Ranger, as the hero sped across the countryside on horseback, that song has run through my head whenever I'm in a hurry.

Although, I could probably use more bikini-babes in my life.... I'll have to try THAT one next time...

Allow me to demonstrate

It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small, small word.

It a world of laughter, a world of tears. It's a world of hope and a world of fears. There's so much that we share, and it's time we're aware. It's a small world after all.

It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small, small word.

Now.... You're Welcome.

Dywolf,

I am aware we agree about the author of TFA.

omitted was an emphasis on the word DOESN'T....
