They may not care about their regular citizens, but they're smart enough to know that if they nuke someone, that New Delhi will certainly be on the short list of retribution targets.
Anyway, this whole concept of India nuking the US is completely fucking stupid. Target someone you hate, not someone your economy is dependent on...
Step #2: understand that Computer Science isn't the same as Computers. Step #3: decide what the current club members want to do.
Redesign the school web site? Robotics? Arduino/RasPi hacking? Learning new languages? Etc etc.
Installing FreeDOS and writing graphics programs in C that directly write to the VGA memory while controlling the sound "card" is an interesting first project. You learn a lot about the h/w, too. Then there's manipulating the FAT in assembly, banging bits out of the serial and parallel ports, etc, etc.
Since the planet is most assuredly still alive, maybe you should reassess your abject terror of the occasional nuclear detonation out in the middle of nowhere.
To a lot of people this sounds fairly reasonable and logical - the internals are open and accessible, hence flaws should also more easily visible compared to a closed system.
It does seem logical, but the fact that sooooo many flaws have been found in Windows, Flash, Acrobat Reader, etc, etc belie the hypothesis that source code makes it easier to find exploitable bugs.
then I'd worry a lot. Rootkits for privilege escalation, SQL injection attacks against poorly-written 3rd-party and locally-developed databases, PHP, CMS & web framework vulnerabilities, etc, etc, etc.
For home use, I'm concerned about router vulnerabilities (Tomato helps but is not perfect) and MITM attacks (but there's nothing I can really do about them except keep my s/w up-to-date, while praying that vendors do the same).
So they were lying when they said they were "stretched in most areas of the country"?
My cousin, when a newly-minted psychiatrist, worked for NZ on a 6 month contract and so has intimate, first-hand knowledge of NZ's health care problems: every sector has shortages.
Doctors and nurses don't want to permanently work there because the salaries are so low. Thus, they need to spend more money on foreign contract workers.
Immigration New Zealand has told one pregnant woman that - despite her financial stability - she would "be putting an additional strain on our already short services", which the department claimed were "stretched in most areas of the country".

Star Wars.
Reagan Haters have been ragging on it for decades, but progress has been steady, and now ABMs are deployed on 3 dozen US Navy ships.
Cruise and Kelt missiles are what they would have tried to nuke ships with, not ICBMs.
So there's more than one person in this world who thinks that India is developing nukes to defend against the USA and not China+Pakistan?

You really feel otherwise?
I don't "feel" differently, I know differently. Who the hell shoots ICBMs at navies? No one. EVER.
You don't deter navies with ICBMs. The USSR sure didn't. Long-range supersonic anti-ship missiles are the way to go.
Sure it's old and out of date. But it's simple, and there's a great virtue in simplicity when learning computers.
Keep your aircraft carriers 500km away from our coast (even though "territorial waters" extends only 19.3km) or we'll fire ICBMs at them?
Really?
I think you've confused Computer Science with Chemistry and Mechanical Engineering.
Wasn't there a movie about that same idea 40 years ago?
Weeeell, ok.
Next question: tell me again WHY India wants to nuke the US when so many Indians live here, and so many there are off-shored workers for US companies?

The purpose is to deter the US.
How, pray tell, does an ICBM with a range of 5,500km deter a country that's 12,500km away?

Window's horrible cluster-fuck of screwing up the VMS derived architecture is pretty terrible.
There, FTFY.
Linux is much easier to exploit than Windows. All of its internals are well understood, and there are more things one can do with shell access.
2003 is calling. They want their FUD back.

having the amount of money you have to pay to Texas be proportional to how much you own of Texas is much better than an income tax or a sales tax.
Yet it seems to fly in the face of "no taxation without representation".
How does someone in 2013 miscalculate the displacement of seawater?

They can't create competent stuff either nowadays.
I can't tell if you're being funny or deserve to be beaten with a stick.
the majority of Americans would rather have quantity over quality.
"Good enough" is usually good enough, especially for consumer goods that won't be around that long anyway.
