Did someone say worms in space?Worms in space. Hmm...that somehow sounds way more sci-fi than it should be.
Remember the I in ISS? International. In 2008, a russian guy took an infected computer up with him. NASA had nothing to do with it. In America, you catch the virus. In Russia, virus catches YOU!!What I want to know is, who's the jackhole that waltzed into the ISS with a virus? With regards to NASA, this should've been caught waaay before an av program on a Windows OS did, imao.
NASA runs Win XP!?
What's next, the US Government runs Windows ME?
Last I checked, a lot of government related facilities are still using Windows 95. Something about it being secured
A lot of non-public systems run software that was made ages ago, the people who made it dropped off the planet so there's no update, but they require the software to function. So it's not uncommon to find older OSes in use when logically you'd think they'd have moved on ages ago. This is part of why Microsoft extended XP support like three times.Wait... they switched because Mircosoft wasn't updating an operating system that is almost a decade old...?
These are the same guys who run our communications grid right?
