Solar flares or cyber terrorism?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Anyone see the articles in yesterdays papers warning of solar flares and cyber terrorism? Cynic that I am , I smell computers shutting down due to terrorism and those nasty solar flares knocking out power right around the beginning of the new year!! But this Y2K thing is only a "bump in the road". Interesting they just happen to coincide. If nothing else it gives us something more to prepare for. Seeya, Charlie P.

You forgot one.... Biological warfare. Could they use this for cover-ups of chemical spills?

You will know very shortly on the flare. A large one is about to blast our way. Sheilds up!

I just heard part of a radio talk show a few minutes ago. The host said not to blame him for transmission difficulties--that a solar flare is causing problems right now.
