A guy I know sent me 
	http://www.ssc.com/linews/debspace.html
in a message titled something like "Linux running on Space Shuttle".

Which scared me for a second -- I was afraid they were using Linux to
control the space shuttle.  (Mind you, I like Linux, and run it on my
system at home.  I'm just not sure it's ready for Space Shuttle
avionics.)  Which got me thinking.

Linux on an imbedded system.  Hmm.  What's next, Tomahawks?  Imagine:

Sorry, Captain.  I just ran flyme with the -d option, but for some
reason the missile launched anyway.  I guess the guys at Hughes must
have compiled with -d disabled again.

Could you ask Commo to call their Tucson plant and tell them they either
need to set up the remote link and disable the bird or evacuate  their
building?

Also, somebody need to tell them that using "blowme" as a default
password could get us in the same kind of trouble as the Tailhook types.

Weps.
