#6 Bah, the guy misses the point, the second simpler software was intended to be found to explain the problems the first caused. It was not a second attack.

Of course, in my devious little mind, I think the second software is a red herring for something far more dangerous and insidious lurking under cover. If the first attack was so well configured it could hide itself and turn itself on and off, what's to stop the existence of a hidden set of code writing a more obvious set of code to hide itself? That would explain why the second code was so much simpler.

I shutter to think of what happens in central Iran when all of that uranium hexafluoride goes splat all over the facility...it will make Three Mile Island, Fukashima and Chernobyl look like a diesel spill on I-35.

#7 Bill, as a gesture of good Wii, Obama will probably provide Iran with information on how to detect and disable or remove the virus.

#9 Rambler, was that an ironic comment on The Ones awesome coding skills and success with a certain Healthcare web site?

Somehow I can't imagine anyone in his right mind trusting Zero on anything IT related.

#14 I humbly thank you, USN & B, for your correction.

I will now retire to contemplate my mistakes through the bottom of my scotch glass.........unfortunately the Old Fettercairn is gone, as is the MacAllan. I do however have sufficient Ardmore to provide me suitable penance. ;^)
