Never for one moment >did I suggest that such a system would be connected to the Internet. So, now you are trying to say you did not talk about "IP". "IP" ("Internet Protocol") is a protocol that is use on network cards or network modems. Now ISDN, is an example of a network where most of its modem is normally connected to the system through an serial interface. In a ISDN system the network uses an "Internet Protocol" but on the serial sise it uses a different communication protocol than "IP". But the ISDN modem or any other network card/modem/Wifi might be weight difference between a getting the job done or giving the technology to the guy you were trying to kill.

This was reported at the end of Bush jr first term. Also, if a person works in the R&D for a missile, you know the paper work a person signs keeps that person from giving too many details, unless they would like to be charge with Treason. >Any "outdated system" that works is better than one that exists only as >a proposal or in theory. > >Marc A. Criley Yes, outdated. The gov't wants their young fighter who are great at video-game war to use be remote controlled missile. A few can act like 100s of fighters, but that has been hack. So, the gov't now into pattern recognition, where a missile is given a set of pictures, etc. and let that puppy go hunting. The system would pick the first, if possible do it job, if not goes find the second on the list, and so on through the list until the job is done or the list is empty or its out of range then it self-destruct to keep the technology from the wrong hands. The idea is to kill the CEO and its "board of directories" with a few "stock holders" to boot and no more war with little to no passer-by being hurt. Just a "Nice and Clean" kill. But pattern recognition will never be 100 percent. And the general public say no to this technology because this type of killing is inhumane. War is suppose to be messy not clean and it over quickly. The clean type of war allows a war to last 10, 25 or even a 100 plus years. And the people were are fighting now would love a 100 years war, they would win in the end because the world will turn against us by that time. But lets get back to Ada. because this is Ada's newsgroup not a weapons newsgroup. And weapons are only one of many things that Ada can be great at, if its allowed to be. If people start creating libraries instead of just binders for other languages.

This was reported at the > end of Bush jr first term. "I do not remember who said..." "they said..." "This was reported..." Pffffft. Silly anon. I make a simple request: >>Cite a trustworthy source of such a "report". > Also, if a person works in the R&D for a missile, you know the paper > work a person signs keeps that person from giving too many details, > unless they would like to be charge with Treason. It's not limited to R&D. And it's not the paperwork that a person signs, it's the security clearance they possess that protects such information. And while violating one's clearance would subject them to potentially serious penalties, the nature of the violation would have to be quite egregious to rise to the level of Treason. >> Any "outdated system" that works is better than one that exists only as >> a proposal or in theory. > > Yes, outdated.

(I know I'm playing a fool's game, but it's a holiday weekend so I figure 'what the hell?' :-) You are so phenomenally ignorant of missile technology that it's laughable. Actually, it's not the ignorance that's laughable, it's your pretentiousness in supposing yourself in any way knowledgeable enough in this area to go into a public forum--albeit using your silly pseudonym--and declaim upon matters of which every word demonstrates your ignorance. I give you points for chutzpah, not many are willing to publicly proclaim their ignorance with such verve and vigor! Marc A. Criley
