I am planning to do computer engineering and be involved in the designing of military aircrafts (aircraft's computer).. I need to know whether the US Air Force needs computer engineers and if yes, will a computer engineer be wearing uniform and do they have military ranks ?.<br />I'm just looking for place to start up a blog with a friend where we talk sports in Chicago as well as other things going on nationwide....just for fun. Any suggestions on sites would be great.

They always seem to be on the screen whenever there's a casino shown in a film! The thing that creeps me out a bit is how they make the whole shebang so family friendly - gambling isn't the kind of habit I'd be encouraging in my kids so hanging out around casinos wouldn't be on my itinery. The gambling business, despite causing havoc and misery to so many, seems to have muscled it's way into the family arena, with a little help from Governments eager to cream off their taxes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858901934141711052.post-68147351159024234662012-03-13T21:23:07.897+08:002012-03-13T21:23:07.897+08:00Thanks Lovely light.

Also they are very generous helping others in difficult situations. NL is one of the major contributors in the world for non-profit organizations.

I remember being astounded at how many pokies there were all over the place when I was in Australia. I went to the Melbourne casino one night and watched the roulette tables for a while but I was too scared to try them. I don't like losing money and I had very little at the time!Julie Dawn Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536949532592481157noreply@blogger.com
