In the last Gulf War the air defenses were networked, including key elements of their radar network.
That was, reportedly, reduced by allowing a contraban printer to "slip through" blockades on goods to Iraq. The printer had a virus that spread through the air defense network.
IIRC this happened in the last days before the bombing campaign began.
It was widely reported after the war, on Nightline and I think Bob Woodward mentioned it in hos book "The Commaders" too. I have not heard if it has been verified beyond that since.
That would be a coup. SE hacking Arab speakers in west coast English!

Okay mister serious no fun.
I for one am quite glad that he answered. Related item here.
Thank you Kevin!
BTW, I am not sure if Kevin remembers, but I am one of the people that helped organize a demonstration for him in front of the US Supreme Court. We have only met twice since then.
Thank goodness! This is the correct question that has been ignored by the "media" who invent budget 'cuts' during periods of actual increase.
Now, the simple answer is anything related to flight is quite expensive. Dollars increase exponentially in relation to altitude and speed. Space exploration has both components. Massive fixed costs, massive expendables costs, the need to keep a highly educated workforce around during "slow" times of low activity for that group, etc.
New technology can bring those costs down, but they are still incredibly expensive.
And, as with ANY government program, there is quite a bit of money-slop in there, plus a wacky attitude for budget execution to begin with.
Scientific endevours are an area that some Federalists and anti-Federalists have some agreement on, it IS an area that the government SHOULD be involved in.
The data show a clear downward trend under Clinton and an upward trend under Bush. They also shed light on today's spin cycle, and allegations that President Bush's announced $470 million increase for NASA in next year's budget is somehow unprecedented and therefore "political." As shown above, George W. Bush increased funding for NASA by roughly $900 million over a two-year period. By this standard a $470 million boost is right on target, and actually smaller than the increase of 2001 into 2002.
So, enough with the "cuts" talk, the budget has risen $900 million in the past 2 years and is slotted for another $470 million.
If you want to debate whether this is "enough" then fine, but it had been in decline for a while before Bush RAISED it two years i a row and proposed raising it again BEFORE the Columbia re-entry.
Sounds like an attempt at being "funny" but here is the real answer.
Because we have a peaceful science exchange with the rest of the world (and a lethal science exchange program with our allies).
Nothing on the shuttle is classified when it is a civilian mission. I do not recall for sure, but I think some of the other foreign astronauts that have ridden on the Shuttle were from their respective militaries too. Often they are of a military aviation background.
If it had been 1 Canadian the CBC might not be charictarizing the US as arrogant and the french might be actually reporting it instead of ignoring the accident.
(many thanks to the 'bloggers around the world covering the angles that the TLNs ignore)
The emergency exit business is the hatch on the side, astronauts hook to a pole and slide out. Only if they have time. Parachute down.
They made no indication that they knew anything was wrong before contact was lost.
There was a report on FOX that a tile or some piece had come off on launch and hit a wing, was not supposed to be a problem. Not sure if that was this missions launch or not.
The discovery of electricity came hand-in-hand with the realization that it could be use to harm and kill living things. In 1945, with the invention of the Leyden Jar (the first type of capacitor ever developed, invented in the University of Leiden, Netherlands),
Sorry, Ben Franklin used those jars in Philly way back before france was a county in Germany.
high power electrical discharges became a possibility, and with them came numerous salon shows where these discharges would be used to electrocute birds, rats and other small animals. Thomas Edison used AC power to electrocute cats, dogs, a horse, and even a 3-ton elephant. He also created the first electric chair, which ran on DC power and almost set the person to be executed on fire (nowadays they are AC).
Yes, Edison used DC, his competitors (I think they are called General Electric now but I may be mistaken) used AC and the story is backwards!
The AC guys made the DC electric chairs to show how "dangerous" DC was and they "showed" how "safe" AC was by it not killing people!
As our knowledge of electricity expanded so did the uses to which this most versatile form of power has been put to.
Yes, it is a very telling bit on the french military. It is also archived here and the top link on this page. Obviously a well respected and widespread view with true historians.
well, I prefer Piece.mil, as I find well toned and armed women hot, but I digress (digression in an intorduction?)
Anyway...
I'm wondering how with all the billions of dollars we spend on military shit, how the military can constanly screw things up...
Because it is run by humans, contrary to some theories on the Left.
BTW, was.mil supposed to only be US mil or could any military anywhere get a.mil domain?
US Military only.
And what kind of proof did you have to show to prove you were a military organization?
The command that handles the domain verifies the request. I am sure that there are ways to insert a fake request and have it approved (in addition to this new finding), the same way we inserted false reports about bad Chinese ammunition into the NVA system, etc.
Is it Ann Coulter (always referred to on my website as "the hottest chick on earth")? Or maybe the chick from "Species" and "Species II"?
Speaking of movies, I just ordered the 1956 release of "1984" (check my website, there is a link to it, can't remember the affiliate program at this writing and it did take a lot of hunting to find an outlet that carries this version). It was my first exposure to Orwell, was in the 1960's when I saw it. Has Donald Plesance as the dippy neighbor of Winston Smith that will rat out anybody when given a cross look.
The 1956 version obliterates the 1984 release of "1984", which was not all that bad, just was not that good either.
I should have a fresh review of it in my Journal shortly after arrival.

Actually that sounds much more like the Clinton "ninja attack" except you used a different president.
supposedly the last war used computer viruses with some limited success.

Factor in inflation.
The rate of inflation for the past decade has been pretty low. But nice try. An increase is still an increase and a decrease is still a decrease.
The budgets are at best flat, and I believe actually DO drop over the years in the graph
I believe you are a troll banking on others not even looking at the graph or the numbers.
Ahem, I point you to the most recent story on my website you will find this link with a pretty graph

Well, I am voting for Les Paul.
The "CM" is not initials. They are really his favorite musical note and another note he was still working on.

He was just Israeli. A Col. in the IDF, was in Yom Kippour(sp?) war, bombed the Iraqi reactor in 1981.
His father was an Auschwitz survivor that fought in the Israeli war for independance.
I have links in a post in the previous story, but can't snag them right now.
Ramon also served in the Yom Kippur War, according to at least one of the TV networks reporting on this.
His father was an Auswitz(sp?) survivor and fought in the war for Israeli Idependance too.
The Israeli, Col. Ilian Ramon, was on the 1981 Iraqi Reactor Attack too.
I promise that I am not bashing.
