European script kiddies? American script kiddies? Al Quaeda script kiddies? Army of God script kiddies? If the Royal Navy were to enter a miliary conflict, have their Windoze system crash, and lose the fight, it's their own fault. Heaven help any nation stupid enough to depend on the Royal Navy and its insecure computer M$ infrastructure for military support. The wise reader will of course see that BAE Systems is getting a huge payoff to convert the Royal Navy to M$ Windoze. Humanity's greed will lead to its eventual extinction. -- Eugene Lee http://www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/
