The ability to bundle all three was just made available today... Once you are subscribed under Disney+, you can go to your account page and add on the "Disney Bundle". It is also a little "hidden" because this first week is the "free preview" period and does not actually start billing until next week...

G.I. Joe Game On the Way 37

Electronic Arts has revealed that they are developing a G.I. Joe video game that will be launched alongside the G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra movie later this year. According to the announcement, the game "picks up where the live-action movie leaves off, allowing players to re-create and re-live the greatest moments from the film, cartoon series and action figure toy line." The game is planned for the PS2, PS3, PSP, mobile devices, Xbox 360, Wii, and DS. EA confirmed that there would be a co-op mode, but it's unknown whether there will be an online component.

Getting Started With Part-Time Development Work? 262

fortapocalypse writes "I'm getting paid a good salary as a Java developer and the hours are great. It is also very stable, which means something in today's economy, especially with a family to feed. However, I'm very unmotivated both because of the work that I do, which is boring, and because the organization I work for is highly political, disorganized, and lacks accountability. I've done what I could to try to change things at work and have pretty much given up on that. I want to go out on my own, either starting my own company or just working as a contractor doing Java development, but I'm not sure of the best way to get started, and my family needs the stability of my current job. I'd really like to start out part-time at 5-15 hours a week to use it as supplemental income (which my family could really use at the moment), but I really don't know where to start. I doubt many contracting agencies would be interested in a part-time worker. What would you suggest for someone in my position?"

This is not gonna work to well, when the soldiers are using different connections to the internet, then official channels...

I work for a small IT firm, who resells vsat connections, 99% of our clients are service men, currently deployed to the Middle East... they range from single accounts to 50+ sites...

The guys have full access to the internet, without worrying about the Army saying what they can and can't use it for (VoIP, gaming, webcams, etc...)...

Not to say they are passing classified or sensitive material, but they are using wide open internet connections, where the government can't monitor...
