The US Air Force declares war on blogs!

2008-02-27 20:44:15 by ashimmy in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
...troops in the Air Force. From what I understand this is limited to the Air Force and not our other armed services I use the term our troops, not their troops, because this isn't some foreign, totalitarian country or despotic dictatorship we are talking about, where the troops have to be watched so they don't cross over to the other side....

War-Funding Bill: $50 Billion for Robo-Planes, Gear

2008-05-08 18:30:00 by Danger Room in Wired Security
 
The Defense Department is keeping plump war-time budgets fat to fund a "longer war on terrorism" with lots of new gear. A new $165 billion House defense-spending bill goes well beyond what troops need on the ground in Iraq -- $50 billion is allocated for the latest manned and robotic aircraft, as well as new aerial and weapons systems

Spy bots that share information being built for military

2008-05-10 00:00:00 by HASH0x8472eb4 in Network World on Security
 
A group of U.S. Marines hunker down beside a building, enemy fire coming at them from somewhere up ahead. One soldier reaches into his pack and pulls out a few robots that look like large bugs. The bots fly down the street, sending back images that show where the enemy troops are hiding, how many there are and what weapons they're using

...troops (or like a hockey team in constant swarming motion). (We used essentially this technique to build the first tuple space implementations. They seemed to depend on a shared server, but the server was an illusion; there was no server, just a swarm of clients.) Could Amazon.com be an itinerant horde instead of a fixed Central Command Post?...

...troops withdraw. And Iraq's largely Soviet-equipped military is a natural market for Eastern European countries brimming with old or out-of-date equipment they would like to unload. The middlemen, in these cases, serve a key role by allowing the U.S. government to do business with an American company, which in turn buys equipment from Eastern...

Italians Use Soldiers to Prevent Crime

...troops, he said, will be a deterrent to criminals That reminds me of one of my favorite logical fallacies: "We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do it." It does seem largely to be a demonstration of "doing something" by the Berlusconi government. The legitimate police, of course, think it's a terrible idea. You need to...
