Obviously, it would take a special kind of idiot to out in the open at night.  OTOH, that's not the only mission for snipers.  Daytime urban countersniping, for one.  Besides, if you set up your range card, there's less adjustments you might have to do later.  Just from looking at the screenshots of all the ballistics apps on iTunes, they look a hell of a lot easier to use that most other device+ballistics computer out there.  Like that 5.11 watch computer.  Thing is an unbelievable pain in the ass to use.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 20th 2009 12:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple's iPod touch tackling "networked warfare" for US military]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/20/apples-ipod-touch-tackling-networked-warfare-for-us-military/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/20/apples-ipod-touch-tackling-networked-warfare-for-us-military/</guid><description><![CDATA[Are we allowed to post job requests on here?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 20th 2009 12:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple's iPod touch tackling "networked warfare" for US military]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/20/apples-ipod-touch-tackling-networked-warfare-for-us-military/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/20/apples-ipod-touch-tackling-networked-warfare-for-us-military/</guid><description><![CDATA[Finally, the military making a smart move and finding a great tool at low cost!

The ipod would also have to be water-resistant, the ipod should also have 2 passwords to turn it on, a simple password for basic functions and a more complex password for all the functions, this way if a soldier is compromised, they can give the basic password and not compromise all the sensitive material on the ipod.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Phil]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 20th 2009 7:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple's iPod touch tackling "networked warfare" for US military]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/20/apples-ipod-touch-tackling-networked-warfare-for-us-military/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/20/apples-ipod-touch-tackling-networked-warfare-for-us-military/</guid><description><![CDATA[I would like that function of 2 passwords on my itouch also, I dont have anything to hide but it would be neat when a teacher takes it away and i give them the password to view the ipod function and thats it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[james]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 20th 2009 11:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple's iPod touch tackling "networked warfare" for US military]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/20/apples-ipod-touch-tackling-networked-warfare-for-us-military/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/20/apples-ipod-touch-tackling-networked-warfare-for-us-military/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sure, I can see an artilleryman taking off his gloves for the capacitative screen every time.
