I'm right there with ya, Byte.

But since they are, I'm all out of sympathy for pretty much all of them. Israel doesn't like that the world found out about their shenanigans? Best news I've heard all day.

Because cyber hi-jinx to stop or slow down the threat of thermonuclear hi-jinx, is such a big fucking deal, huh?

And 'Israel's' shenanigans ? How about OUR shenanigans.

Priorities... some folks have 'em all out of whack.

When someone uses those viruses to halt our centrifuges, the irony will be incredible. I wonder when they'll go after the incinerators used to disposes of our really nasty weapons, make them malfunction, spread nerve agent everywhere.

I'll feel very safe then.

AURaptor, Israel just paid someone to invent THE most DANGEROUS weapon in the entire world, and we don't know who's got their hands on it now. In terms of danger, nuclear technology doesn't even come close.

Dabbling a bit in hyperbole, perhaps?

Of course you are, but we're all used to it.

I'm not, I was referring to the comment...AURaptor, Israel just paid someone to invent THE most DANGEROUS weapon in the entire world, and we don't know who's got their hands on it now. In terms of danger, nuclear technology doesn't even come close.

Diane Feinstein is the one who said she's never seen worse. You wanna accuse her of hyperbole, at least get the source right.

That really wasn't hyperbole AU. I do in fact think it's more dangerous than a nuclear weapon. Hell, we have conventional explosions that are more dangerous than a nuclear weapon, and this virus is obviously more dangerous than those too.

If it can stop centrifuges in Iran, it can stop centrifuges here. If modified versions can be tailored to stop any computerized machine of a specific make, it can be targeted at machines that would cause a widespread disaster if they were shut down (my incinerator point), and it could also be modified to attack power plants (including nuclear power plants, which crosses over with point 2).

A concentrated effort with these viruses directed at multiple different targets could cripple an entire industry, and IF they were targeted at various key power plants on the grid, a first world nation could be taken back to the stone age.

This thing is bad news.

Yeah, but if were about Repubs, Raptor would no reason to post it!

Keep insisting about DiFi all you want, I know what she's doing, and it has nothing to do with what she's saying. We've known her for far longer than most of you. And do remember she's the Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman...
