Welcome to the Llama Pit

Aaron Moore: When I checked into 1st Force Recon Company there was a sign above the platoon area, it said "The Llama Pit." Now I've done two tours with the unit and still to this day can't find anyone who knows why or when that sign went up. It may not make sense to anyone else, but I like it. It's one of those unknowns, like crop circles and the Loch Ness monster. Welcome to the Llama Pit!

One small step for man

In addition to building better machines, DARPA also wants to build better soldiers. American infantrymen since the Revolutionary War have griped about all the gear they have to carry—sometimes more than 100 pounds. Enter DARPA, with the idea of building an exoskeleton capable of supporting this weight and providing a powered system of robotic legs to help the soldier carry the load. Researchers from University of California at Berkeley are showing off their Lower Extremity Exoskeleton, which straps onto a soldier’s legs and lets him (or her) carry a load of 85 pounds without feeling it. The Berkeley team has tested it and plans to have a fully functional prototype by December 2005. (Slate.msn.com)

The new version of Microsoft Office 2010 Office is a BIG disappointment. Microsoft Office 2010 It is VERY hard to navigate around. Simple tasks Microsoft Office are now very involved to do.

This is such an MS office 2010 obviously poor quality update that Microsoft Office 2010 product key should fire the managers Office 2010 home responsible for the 2010 version. People will flee to Office 2010 professional plus Open Office. I have used Office 2010 trial Microsoft products since MS 95. I use the Home and Student version because I’m retired and don’t need the work related products from MS.
