According To Star Trek: Discovery, Starfleet Still Runs Microsoft Windows (theverge.com)

AmiMoJo shares a report from The Verge: The third episode of Star Trek: Discovery aired this week, and at one point in the episode, Sonequa Martin-Green's Michael Burnham is tasked with reconciling two suites of code. In the show, Burnham claims the code is confusing because it deals with quantum astrophysics, biochemistry, and gene expression. And while the episode later reveals that it's related to the USS Discovery's experimental new mycelial network transportation system, Twitter user Rob Graham noted the code itself is a little more pedestrian in nature. More specifically, it seems to be decompiled code for the infamous Stuxnet virus, developed by the United States to attack Iranian computers running Windows.

    Nah, the Klingons differ from Trump in too many ways.

    Klingons are:
    Warriors,
    Honorable,
    Physically fit,
    Tough.

    Trump is more like Ferengi,
    Cowardly,
    Dishonest,
    Money grubbing,

    Maybe with a touch of Lokai and Bele from Cheron,
    (STOS, Let that be your last battlefield)
    Fascist,
    Racist,
    Warmongers,

    And, of course, the orange skin coloring of the Edosians.

    He's sort of an Edofercherub. A fat, orange, delusional corperatist xenophobe.
