Building Secure Computers? 628
maotx asks: "Growing into the job of a system administrator, I've been tasked with something I'm not quite prepared for: purchase or build a computer that meets DoD compliance for classified 'Secret' information. Several vendors, including Dell our primary supplier, offers computers that will work, but being new to the criteria I want to make sure the right computer is purchased. The computer will be used to create secure CAD drawings (Solidworks, OrCAD, etc) and must have, from what I can tell, a removable hard drive and security stickers to prevent tampering. What is you're experience in setting up a secure computer and is it better to have a vendor do it, or yourself?"

Does this offer only apply to the original poster? Because I require some military assistance as well. I have two areas of concern:
1. My neighbor keeps walking his dog in front of my house and it shits next to the sidewalk. He's supposed to clean it up, but he never does. I was hoping you could take the dog out for me.
2. Gas will probably reach $3/gallon before too long. I know you military types are experts at liberating people, and sometimes there's petroleum, you know, sort of left over. I was wondering if you could liberate the local Sunoco for me so I can get some gas for my car for free.
Thank you, and I eagerly await your email.
ps remember don't ask don't tell!
