Cars won't start, planes won't fly, and the military is in shambles. Soldiers of unknown origin have seized control of a key high-tech company. China is about to invade. The one man who can save Western civilization from a Digital Dark Age is Y2K fixmeister Mark Solvang. Mark's problem? Well, it happens to be his company those troops took over. What comes next is a predictable romp through gun battles, hacking, and government intrigue that's sure to satisfy Chuck Norris fans but leave anyone else hoping for more. [...remainder snipped...]

That 'you' is the literary you, not you personaly. You (not the literary you) should seriously consider counseling. Talk about hair-triggered. If anybody is guilty of demanding people do it 'their way' it's you. You really need to better understand this inability of yours to seperate your self-worth as an individual from the ideas you espouse and supposedly put out for public dialog. Everybody has stupid idea, if you can't admit that then there's a problem more serious than having stupid ideas. Everybody makes mistakes everyday, and if you seriously think you don't then you have found your first mistake today. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.

Well, for some months now they've password protected some of the more delicate stuff (e.g., "lessons learned", some of the field manuals). And they have been rejecting non .mil addresses too. Certainly we can expect them to eventually get a clue and think about what's out there. Mostly they have. (Of course it was within the last year that a .mil was exporting PGP!) The army's over-reaction is quaint but essentially reasonable --the W3 pages are just PR, and they're real edgy these days after they tried to scalp Osama with a tomohawk. [digression: I wonder when Osama will have his own web page with matching funds for the head of the Great Satan, and whether there would be a shootout on the net, e.g., the DNS records being changed, a phone call to their ISP] As far as the NSA's online personnel records, I bet they're still worried about the CIA shootout down the street a few years back. There's still plenty of names, phones, email addresses in the .gov domain, with building locations, etc. But Jim Bell is locked up so they're not so uptight. >That would be a tri-power-gov implementation of dual-use >terror-scare to hide perkbellied privileges of natsec obsession. They keep trying different passwords to the constitution. Its a dictionary attack: "pedophile", "droogs", "terrorist", "WMD", etc. --Ceci n'est-ce pas un Toto

Might have been 82, find out when ARPA became DARPA and *only* worked on defense related material. The distinction was one of administration and not physical changes to anything other than some nameservers and routers. When the change happened it meant that ARPA could no longer participate as an equal with the NFS so they split the funding and administrative servers. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.
