Really? This is the first I've heard of it. I can just imagine the scenario:


Commander: All batteries, open fire!

Weapon guy: Uh sir, we can't do that....

Commander: Why not?

Weapon guy: Windows just crashed.

Just for the hell of it, I'de like to see a battle between a Windows equipped fleet and a Linux equipped fleet


Linux would win. All they need to do is send a bunch of viruses to the Windows fleet and then blast away.

"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

What you fail to see is the master plan. The UK plan to nuke somewhere and then blame it on Windows. Lets face it this is the ultimate example of plauable deniability. Who wouldn't believe that windows was hacked or simply crashed?

The only question is what is the MOD planning to nuke?

Usually the term used for modifications to a game.  Could be anything, like new textures, sounds, code, etc.
