Actually, you're a bit misinformed about USAJobs.gov. While it is true that veterans with compensable disability have preference, they must still be qualified for the job. A lack of security clearance isn't a problem unless you are unable to get one due to past history, the government will happily do a background check and if eligible you'll get a clearance. Yes, there are a lot of people applying, but again, if you're the best qualified, you'll get the job, and if the Government is having trouble finding cyberwarriors, none of what you mentioned is an issue, and certainly not worthy of the "interesting" mod your post earned.

usajobs.gov or your Air Force recruiter

Hmmm, that got me to thinking, what if Osama Bin Laden is like Emmanuel Goldstein? Might explain a lot. Sorry to get off topic, but I don't really feel like bashing Apple right now.

Fact is, no one has to buy a ticket from a scalper. If you can't get a ticket at a reasonable price, then don't go to the show. If scalpers stop making money, they'll stop scalping tickets. DON'T SUPPORT THE SCALPERS!

I'm not sure how you ended up with insightful mods. Once Microsoft, Apple, name a Linux Distro, or whatever company releases a new OS, your old hardware is pretty much obsolete. You may manage to hold off for two OS upgrades, but your experience will suffer due to the hardware being too slow for the new OS. With Linux you can hold this off by dropping eye candy, or switching away from Gnome or KDE to a lightweight WM, but unless you like those lightweight WMs, your computing experience suffers.

Woooosh!

you were doing fine until you felt the need to bash on the OS. IMHO that was unnecessary and discredited your remarks. Whatever, I've come to expect that from the majority of /. Posters.

Actually, the daughters got Lot drunk, and then got themselves pregnant. The girls were afraid they'd all die in that cave and have no one to carry on the family. Some scholars believe their offspring are the ancestors of the Arabs and Palestinians, and everyone else in the Middle East who persecutes the Jews.

For the Flash issue you really need to find another porn site, and stop blaming it on coursework. Some exist that don't require Flash, and I'm sure you'll be just as happy with those.

The Slashdot thing really bothers me, too. It's a shame there's only a handful of Slashdot posters who like the iPad, otherwise it might get fixed.

That is not a tablet.

I'm surprised you didn't think Facebook, since FB is all over the place lately. However, while thinking "SCOTUS Nominee Kagan on Facebook" might make more sense, I can certainly see where your wishful thinking took you. Yes, I'm also disappointed you weren't correct.

Another giant step backwards for mankind. If these people want to be taken seriously, they need to join the 21st century. If you want to live and work alongside the rest of the world, you'll need to toughen up a bit, and not get offended every time someone draws a caricature of Muhammad, or calls him a clown.

Well, if someone is on dialup, it makes sense that they would buy a bootleg copy. Same for folks who want a packaged, colorful, similar to original looking product.

So there are vulnerabilities, but how likely are they to be exploited? That's the real problem. I couldn't care less about the vulnerabilities if they cannot be used against me.
