More on the Swedish Stealth Ship
Dr.Knackerator writes "The BBC is running a story on Sweden's new carbon fibre stealth ship, the Visby. As well as being the first stealth ship, it is controlled by 'state-of-the-art computers using a Windows NT operating system'. 'But Kockums and the Swedish Navy deny it could be sabotaged by hackers and say that even if it did they could fall back to traditional steering and navigation'." We had a previous story about this as well.
Neither.
From 'Young Zaphod Plays it Safe'
"One hundred per cent positive," replied the owner of the first head.
"You're one hundred per cent positive that the ship which is crashed
on the bottom of this ocean is the ship which you said you were one
hundred per cent positive could one hundred per cent positively never
crash?" said the owner of the two remaining heads.
"Hey," he put up two
of his hands, "I'm only asking."

This was sorta interesting the first time it was posted, but this new article provides absolutely 0 additional insights into the technical aspects of the ship (either from a computer/software standpoint, or about the tech of the ship itself). Things must be slow in tech land.

I love how some tool with a bug up his keister immediately hit the parent with a -1, Offtopic, only to have a bunch of right-thinking folks come in, peel it off the floor, and get it up to a 5, Funny. Once in a while this system really works.
I know this is a totaly foreign territory for slashdotters but for your infos misters
man=hard
woman=moist
In the above statement you can actually change the word moist to hard to get an idea of how the woman feels.
I don't get it. Why was it funny?
Well, it's funny if one's ignorant concept of Sweden is the Swedish Chef and porn.
If one knows even a little bit of history, however, the only appropriate mod is "dumbass".

The Visby corvette is going to be in active service in the swedish navy.
I thought I post a small correction here: Sweden being a neutral country (spared them in WWII), doesn't have a need for large/modern army/defense. However, their military manufacturing makes a decent chunk of their economy. They export most of the goods, and if the stuff is modern enough there will be lot of buyers.
