Hey ma, just a thought, but go call them and let them know. Better that we tell people.

If it was possible to hack into an airplane and crash it then I would call that an obvious design flaw.

Look, I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it!

But simply stating that it might have been a "design flaw" is so vague and general.

Might as well say, "Some people did something."

Permanent Cold War brains...

What's annoying is that active military are much more circumspect about going to war, and much more likely to support the positions of Rand Paul than Lindsey Graham.

I mean in that these things shouldn’t be connected to the internet in the first place if they could be used to cause a huge accident. It would be like having voting machines connected to the internet , it’s an obvious design flaw.

Ah - you got me. I’m familiar with electric, hydro-electric, and natural gas systems and as far as I know there isn’t a one of them in the USA that isn’t air-gapped from the interwebs, but I know nothing about water treatment.

Thanks for your response.

Would your house have a design flaw if I could cut off your electricity or water supply from outside your house? Does your house have a design flaw if it is in any way susceptible to an external "denial of service" attack?

Is it a design flaw if skyscrapers aren't built so solidly that a fully-fuelled jumbo jet can still take them down?

I mean: Obviously those things should be designed so as to be invulnerable to those sorts of attack!

My point: These things are not DEATH STARS. It's not as though they possessed some obvious design flaw like a 2-meter-wide thermal exhaust port that any farmer from the Outer Rim could bulls-eye.

once you’re in, you are in...

PERFECT !!! Y’All are blessed to have a supply like that. I can smell the crisp freshness in My mind.

[mabarker1]

They wouldn’t listen to Me when I was employed there and they damned sure won’t listen to Me now.

I really enjoyed Water Treatment, I felt like I was doing a good thing for the Communities I worked in. Apparently I was one of very few with that attitude.

[mabarker1]

You’re Welcome.

[mabarker1]

Kinda like cockroaches.

[SkyDancer]

The water is so sweet like you wouldn’t believe.

[mabarker1]

Maybe Y’All should bottle it and sell it yo the French for $25.00 @ liter.
