    Iran's nuclear power-plants under attack by state-sponsored cyber terrorism

    Didn't see any threads about this.. A worm called Stuxnet had infected some computers at a power plant that is capable of rewriting PLC's and hiding it. The worm was apparently made specifically for this and people are saying that the only way a worm like this could come to exist would be via state sponsored cyber terrorism.

    So what could this do exactly? Cause the machinery to overheat or under perform and wreck it?

    The obvious question with a title like this is "Can a computer worm cause a meltdown?" and the answer is decidedly "No"

    Iran has the right call on homosexuality though. If you're a homosexual, you should have a sex change operation, and thus be accepted into society.

    edit; whoops, wrong topic
