Stuxnet documetary on iPlayer. Anyone seen it?

[Kris]

That sort of worries me more than being nuked

Actually me too. In the event of war, the first thing we'd lose are satellite communications and the internet. That would affect the population more than being blitzed. If the power grid was taken out, we would lose water filtration. The emergency services would fail to function. Martial Law would have to be declared within hours.

Those with access will also be wiped out by the thirsty mobs.

Bury it underground, or head to the mountains. Obviously don't leave a sign outside saying "Clean drinking water available here"

You can stick your tin foil up your arse.

Tin foil is useful for keeping you warm when the power goes off, you can never have enough of the stuff

Perhaps Kris will keep all his to wrap up the elderly people that are extremely vulnerable when the power goes off, or maybe use it to wrap up all the defrosted food in his freezer.

War need not be involved. A malevolent entity such as Isis or North Korea could cause havoc without firing a shot.

If the grid does go dark, can we all meet down at the CCS to continue our chit-chat?
