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

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.

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 ?

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 ) posted on here was a "Mock-u-mentory"as part of a premo for the latest "Terminator" Movie. Still makes ya shiver though.
