I heart towers that bad guys hate

We love technology at SoldierWish and the Wishy company.

We hate bad guys at SoldierWish and the Wishy company.

So naturally, we're big fans of technologies that help our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines put hot lead on bad dudes. We love when the lead-to-air ratio in a bad guy's home tips the survivability scale in the good guys favor.

Raytheon has been providing our Army with what is essentially 'listening posts' in theater for the last couple years. Infared sensors, video, and other 'sensor' and surveilance capabilities placed on top of the tower provide static, pervasive and constant eyes & ears for our operators forward in theater.

Raytheon delivers tower number 300 to the US Army.

In the interest of full disclosure, each of my pay-checks are signed & deposited by the Raytheon Company.

This is an excellent and interesting read

enjoy.

maybe he can unlock my car too?

This kid's briliant...although I want to wait for the all-software solution.

I was amazed that in the DCMA just passed by Congress that unlocking a phone was not illegal. That's phenomenal...wonder how long that will last?

I always thought the "unlocked" iPhone desires of Fred Wilson were just, shall we say a bit "moral libertarian"

Mark Cuban is not my myspace friend

Marky-mark....I watched your little reality t.v. show; you're boring. (kidding ;) )

ps, I agree with his premise that the internet is in its' infancy as far as delivery, technology and speed. However, I think we only need to look at the current telecom industry to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that further profit motive will not necessarily lead to comprehensive infrastructure upgrade, allowing for evolutionary or revolutionary advancement.

just my thoughts, marky-mark....

it's like, myspace, for spooks...

Finally. This is good news.

Honestly, one of the more forward-thinking things I've seen from Government in a long time. Who's running that joint anyway? A bunch of 20 or 30-somethings?

And as cool as that is, I envision this web 2.0 type of spook community as being more useful, as it presents wiki type of intel collaboration. Crafting and sharing may not even be quite as valuable though as the digg/de.lic.ous clone. Good stuff...

Good stuff. It's now one of my lifetime goals to stay OUT of their websites. Cool or not, that's one social networking profile I don't need....

and then my brain broke

What?

How is this even possible?

Even at the sub-atomic level??

HOW?? I demand to know!

Oh...it's the "only violation" of conceivably unbreakable laws of physics; i.e. special relativity. Ok. Cool. (whatever)

No, seriously...how? If even it is sub-atomic, the particle--by definition--has some sort of mass, and I cannot understand how that mass can be propelled at a velocity exceeding light waves.

This is why I was a criminal justice major...and played football

stupid science ;)
