Discussing national security, the tech solution.
by [ Brainiac ] 28 Jul '10

28 Jul '10

this may seem strange but it is very OT (On topic). If you are like me, you have been reading with concern about the threat of militant groups in the region, or maybe at times wondered, how prepared is our military forces to counter this.

Hi geeks, I have just downloaded an installer for Miro player (size 445KB) which needs to download about 30MB of files from the internet.
