[LINK] Internet recruitment for defence

[stephen at melbpc.org.au]

Interesting Sylvano ... the website works fine from here.

At 7:15 am there were eight players logged in (including
three guest log-ins one of which myself) and the website
offers two multi-player, and six single-player, war games
with a very prominent link for joining the Defence Forces:

Unfortunately my attempts to check
out the Department of Defence flash 
splashed games site led to a 
"Could Not Connect" message.

This is accompanied by an enigmatic 
message, in caps, "WE NEED MORE SCREEN!"
Is my monitor inadequate, or is that a
DoD gamer mantra?

I'll have to check 'em out later. It may 
be too early for the server...

Original article that bounced me there,
http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;1988891423;fp;16;fpid;0

It makes me wonder if there ought to
be accompanying warning images and 
messages on the site as one sees on 
cigarette packets, showing appropriately 
maimed limbs, and what not...
