h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Which is fine if you're not a hospital.

true! our news said it had "attacked" about 200 countries, inc' Russia

the worlds security forces are now trying to find them

Latest rumour was North Koreans.

so I've seen, but some are pointing the finger at the cia allowing a "program" to be nicked and altered ?

My prediction I made a few year back still looks good though

Which was?

years ago, China did a war games, with half the force at one side of Taiwan and half the other side - sending missiles over it.
Taiwan told the Chinese government, that if didn't stop their bully tactics they had 10,000 viruses that they'd put into the Chinese computer system.

My prediction is:- 80% of viruses etc around the world, are via government security services testing them. Any major hackers caughtdon't get jailed, they get hired

Yeah, that's true enough.

And nobody can find anybody to pay the 'ransom' to, so it looks like large-scale mischief.

I am tired of these people.

during the gulf wars, America had planes with the technology on, to override tv/radio stations in Iraq and put propaganda on them

a program I watched at the time of the gulf wars, said more damage can be done to the country just by "wiping" out traffic light systems, to try up transport etc and also to the financial systems

Sure. Mess with the infrastructure, you can do a lot of damage.

Anyway, I'm off for supper.

Take care, and don't download any malware!

only if THEY make me money

enjoy supper both

a bit of rain and another boring day as such

I wanted a boring day. Instead, I had to go shopping - sorry, that's why I was gone.

Now we're probably going to get visitors - but if we do, they'll help us put in the a/c. It finally got hot.

as I'm on my own, shopping might be boringbut it gets me outeven if it's same shops each time


I don't get visitersapart from my mate who if well enough gets once per week, I can't call on him as he's out most of the time "running" (car) about for his daughter - long story as such

They came this morning, instead. A/C is now in windows. Good deal - it's 82F, and kind of muggy. The a/c filters out the pollen, fewer headaches.

Finally got to give bro in law his b'day presents.

We ran around 'Dollar Tree' last night, and I got a 'magic towel' - just add water - for Towel Day next week. (Thursday)

"A/C is now in windows" bloody microsoft is brilliant, but I didn't get that update

hope he enjoys them

magic towel ? is that a very small cube, that expands etc when water is put on it ?

These windows are in the walls.

Yep - he liked his t-shirt, which he vows the kids won't steal, and his funny book about physics, and his wristband that is magnetic to hold screws while working...

Yeah, the 'magic towel' is a fairly flat square. You add water, and it expands into a big Superman 'S' thing...you'll see it in Sunday's , I took a pic to remind people about Towel Day.

wristband that is magnetic =

I've a small square one that is "Animal" from the muppet'sI'll never add water to it

was the t-shirt printed with anything ?
