    Government Sub-contractors are required to maintain liability insurance for instances like this.

    Sadly, this poor fellow will be sued into oblivion; the minimum in Canada is 2 million, in the U.S. I don't even know.

    Northrop is usually very good but the issue is that it's "Sensitive Informaiton" chances are the person using the system didn't follow the security protocols in place (i.e. Not storing classified informaiton in an Unclass environment).

    It's for this very reason all of my file systems are encrypted.

    As for Northrop they are responsible to meet all IT Security Policies in place by the Military, that's one of the reasons classified systems are soo damn expensive, you buy it for 5K, service it for 100K and then de comission it for 10K, if the guy is just taking the 10K and recycling it then you have a problem. Ideally the Hard drives should be wiped, degaussed, smashed with large hammers (hydraulic or sledges work well) or shredded and then thrown into an furnace. That is a NATO standard for classified information. It's a lot of labor and hence the 10K.

    Dear America

    We regret to inform you that the lake you vaporized was one of the major sources feeding most of your aquifers. And Due to mass riots in the western provinces And sheer firestorms from the Oil Sands vapor that Gas prices will now be $10 / gallon.

    We have instituted martial law however the natives have decided to torch the white house again; we do apologize we decided that it would be nice to treat them like people; that and they are the only canadians allowed assult weapons and rocket launchers; we have tried to control them previously but sadly we decided that it was a sensitive issue and the budgets for the military force required to opress them were spent fighting terror in Afgahnistan and improving the health of our citizens. Sadly due to the number of joint reserves on the unmanned and undefended border we expect they should arrive in washington posed as tourists in a few minutes. You'll be able to spot them as they will be increadably polite and kind hearted people and they may ask for some directions whilst there. We in no way endorse this action and will seek legal action should they survive.

    Due to Saskatchewan burning up and rioting, cigar lake has been flodded again and Uranium prices will now soar and as a result I fear that we may not be able to supply your UxO for all those nuclear reactors you have. I understand this will aid non-proliforation but it has the unfortunate side effect of leaving a few hundred million people in the dark. We have switched all available hydro power to our own supplies thus we can no longer export it as we did previously; this will leave New York, Chicogo, Boston and most of the eastern seaboard in the dark. In addition to this the Fly's have some how mutated due to the microwave interaction with the lakes resulting in gigantisam; and they are now capable of removing large vehicles from the 401, last we saw them headed for california; we've tried raid and a number of other insecticides but they seem impervious some how.

    I understand that the sheer lack of power will affect your various exchanges and we are very sorry however I'm certain the Nasdaq, Chicogo Mercantile, NYSE and NYNEX aren't very large and that markets may be provided by TSE, VSE, Brut and Archipellego in your economic stability's absence.

    Since we do have lots of fresh water it will now be tarried the taxes now applied to exports should put the price at $1000 USD / L to make up the losses due to destruction, also we now request the 6 billion owed for previous software lumber disputes, we also ask that you prorate the amounts to compensate for your weak dollar.

    Having once worked in an electronics repair shop; upon hearing that the "Sony Products" had non-standard value capacitors in them, I then realized that the CamCorders, CD Players etc. etc. etc. were of a lesser quality than even JVC, NEC, Panasonic or Samsung, thus "It's a Sony" became a synonym for "It's a CRAPPY", that was over 9 years ago, I have never; nor will i ever purchase any Sony products ever again.
