Appearently Los Alamos could be taken over by a private corperation......
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Get the Bin Laden family to make a bid.

I'd make a bid, but I don't like the seller's reviews. Lots of people have left negative comments, they say he's late to deliver, if at all.
