B-2 Stealth Bomber Gets Upgrade, Joins the '90s

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the decade-late dept.

WmHBlair writes "Flightglobal has a report about the upgrades being made to the B-2A Stealth Bomber, which include Pentium class processors, JOVIAL code rewritten in C, and fibre channel hard drives. The Register, as usual, makes light of this event with a tongue-in-cheek news item noting that the upgrade drags Stealth Bomber IT systems into the '90s."

    They won't be so smug when a B-2 flies over to England and bombs the shit out of their offices. El-Reg 'Smug HQ' will soon be no-more.

    It's all part of George W. Bush's 'War on Smugness'. Mac users are next on the chopping block: Steve Jobs has already been arrested and is being anally violated with an iPod in Guantanamo Bay.
