Re: Cyber - WMDs - mother of god!
That little gem of a malicious program was recently found infecting and messing with Iran's nuclear centrifuges and systems, so it may be one of those skunk works military projects of ours, and we may have used it against another nation. Nasty precedence if we did.

Check here on the Aurora Vulnerability and our power grid systems. The video of a $1 million generator being destroyed just from commands through the internet is quite scary. As we become more dependent on the net, we are becoming more and more vulnerable to some form of cyber attack, and nobody seems to be planning for it. The smart electric meter on my house that allows the power company to remotely read my meter can apparently be hacked as well.

heh yeah.. when i heard it was found in Iran's nuclear centrifuge system, my only thought on this was 'who would benefit from doing such a thing?'

Well Fern. Would you rather have had Israel bomb them?

that's awfully extreme, given that Iran has shown no intent to go after Israel.ThunderBunny wrote:Well Fern. Would you rather have had Israel bomb them?

Oh of course not. No intent at all.
Hezb'allah doesn't exist. The rockets Hezb'allah has been firing are given to them by the tooth fairy. Hamas isn't using Iranian supplied rockets either- they're showering Sderot with Iranian candy canes. Ahmedinejad (he's probably buddhist) hasn't told his countrymen that "Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury.”
I guess according to you, Hitler had no intent to kill the Jews, he just wanted to help them burn off a little fat in his fat-burning ovens.

LOL Ferno, I hope that face-palm was for yourself.
No intent. Hilarious.
