I'll try and stick to what I can back up thistime :): China has been accused many times of penetrating US defences, most recently the Pentagon and the Electrical Grid (even leaving software behind that would allow them to be controlled later.) See here...

Sorry, you beat me to it. I was coming back to edit my post, as I realized I was farther out of my lane than I initially thought :-X Anyway, thanks for clarifying :)

While I'm far from an expert, I just thought I'd try and clarify a few things here. (And if someone with some credentials happens to read these, feel free to chip in;D) "Electronic Warfare" is different from "Cyber Warfare", and the CFEWDB is somewhat of a misnomer. EW is primarily concerned...

What you want is the CFNOC, the Canadian Forces Network Operations Centre. Unfortunately everyone seems to be very secretive on details (probably for the best anyway. You don't want the enemy to have access to anything that might allow them to penetrate or damage the network.) Edit...

My understanding of this from my viewing is that all were trained in EOD however the Team Leader did the more complex disposals (and I assume for the virtue of cinema almost everything they showed was "complex.")

I think you'll eat those words, helpup:

My best guess with the "word processor problem" is that there is formatting in the document that isn't being properly converted from/to UTF-8. I once ran a website teaching Korean and I had to increase my phpBB forum's memory limit because the slightest Hangeul (even a single jamo) would cause a...

This reminds me both of "America's Army" (3D tactical shooting game very similar to what you're stating here, though not as complex mission wise), and this quote from The Simpsons:

I see, thank you for the clarification.

I apologize for my ignorance, but do court-martialed(sp?) Soldiers get a civilian lawyer? I would expect that a Military lawyer might be more likely to question things and gather expert testimony, given the nature of the profession relative to the crime committed. And as I understand it (please...

I had several problems when I still used Ubuntu, ranging from lack of sensitivity to completely erratic movements that made the touchpad unusable without changing the kernel boot parameters. The solution seems to be (once you've identified your particular touchpad brand) changing the drivers...

That made me chuckle!

A google search has revealed that "PRT FP" stands for "Provincial Reconstruction Team/Force Protection", and OMLT/POMLT stands for "Operational Mentor and Liaison Team" and "Police Operational Mentor and Liaison Team." Please correct if wrong :) See...

I apologize for the extended time spent on that one issue; we may be getting slightly off topic but my initial point was that Canada is a better place to live, with my main point being lowered violence; this was backed up by statistics that showed Canada has fewer guns in the country, and less...

Yes, I'll agree that per capita the United States has approximately 2.25 times the number of guns as Canada. In practice however, that still results in many more armed Americans than armed Canadians, and doesn't change the physical number of handguns in either country.

I was trying to "back-out" of the debate, but since I already made the statement, it's my due-diligence to qualify it. Source: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/cdic-mcc/19-1/d_e.html American Population: 303,824,640 (2008 est.) Canadian Population: 33,212,696 (2008 est.) Source...

Yes, I understand. You're an expert compared to me though ;)

I understand; it has become a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to pounce on Americans. I suppose (as I believe somebody else in the thread said) it's not much different than Americans not knowing enough about Canadians and stereotyping our negatives. Well, you're the SME here so I'll take your word...

Alright, I'll admit the Iraq war comment is based on second-hand information, so that comment was out of my lane. But America has more than 75 times the number of handguns that Canada does. You don't think that contributes to violence in the US? And I'm basing the comment about healthcare being...

Compared to Americans, Canadians are looked well upon. The reason I brought up Iraq is because there is deep resentment in America about the war, and while Soldiers are looked well upon they put up with a lot of flak because of it. The Gun Registry was a bad idea. But regardless, we have less...
