This is ... a ... good ... idea ... ???

](http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/16/windows_for_submarines_rollout/) the line about “almost never need to give their command systems autonomous firing authority” does little to comfort me. Given the apparent ease at which external regimes can crack into the US DoD machines via virus/malware on windows systems … this … well … doesn’t strike me as the smartest idea I have ever heard. It gives the phrase “blue screen of death” a whole new, and quite unwelcome, meaning.
