Great article. Some questions and comments... How did they know they got within 2 digits of "cracking an 87-digit Russian security code"? How many people just plain don't like my looks? This is exactly why I wear goggles when I'm programming. Good thing you didn't post this in the soapbox. If "fanatical religious-fringe groups" got their hands on this... Oh yeah, forgot one: What the hell is a smithereen? :laugh:

Darn it, why did those silly engineers put a remote detonation ability into the ISO specifications for airplanes... :doh: They could've known terrorists would find a way to remotely access the "big red button" in the cockpit :rolleyes:

A smithereen is a random chunk of metal thrown from a black-smith beating on a chunk of metal with his hammer. okay... I made that up... just means small pieces... [From Irish Gaelic smidirīn, diminutive of smiodar, small fragment.]

I guess your computer could be classified as a WMD. In that case we are pretty much safe, the government wouldn't be able to find them. :laugh:

That computer looks a bit...old! Would it know what to do in the presence of the Internet? That aside, it's just a hoax!
