    Sure, the scientists created it and then the engineers designed it, but high 5 to the cnuts that actually built it.

    "Were going to" in the same sense that they "were going to" try to assasinate a SCUBA diving Fidel Castro with an exploding seashell.... which is to say that some idiot floated the idea, and then someone else realised that it was totally idiotic.

    Did you know.... Britains brand new flagship aircraft carrier , Queen Elizabeth, runs on Windows XP ? The British Navy’s Advanced New Aircraft Carrier Reportedly Runs On Windows XP - Task & Purpose

    At the height of the British empire in the 19th century, the Royal Navy was renowned for its military might, a global force that imbued its sailors with a special form of geopolitical pride.
    Oh, how the mighty have fallen: While Britain continues to expand its naval power — most recently with the addition of the massive HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier that got underway for sea trials on June 26 — the empire’s sailors nowadays find their power-projection is hobbled by a simple, depressing vulnerability: Microsoft Windows.



    The Royal Navy’s brand new $4.5 billion warship is currently running an egregiously outdated 2001 version of Windows XP, the same garbage operating system that left more than 90% of the UK’s National Health Service crippled by a ‘WannaCry’ ransomware attack back in May, according to an eagle-eyed Guardian reporter on a tour of the new carrier.

    Did you know.... that the sources you're citing are three years old?

    "The MoD can confirm that Windows XP will not be used by any onboard system when the ship becomes operational,” a Ministry of Defence spokesperson told the Register at the time.
    27 Jun 2017

    Claims the Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier is using Windows XP may not be what they seem:
    Is the HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier using Windows XP? | WIRED UK

    In December 2015, the Register reported a clip from a BBC News report about the ship showing a potential view of Windows XP on an employee's desktop. However, it later reported that the image was just a screenshot on the employee's desktop.

    I saw the pics on the BBC, amazingly well-preserved. Does anyone care to speculate: Why are the ducks upside down?
    Is it possible my Thai builder was on that job?

    Looks like damage control. But either way. If this was a story about a Russian or Chinese piece of kit, it would go around the world and any explanation for it would just be laughed at. I've seen it happen all the time in the military defense media.

    I think the ducks are meant to be dead and hanging up from hooks or something.

    Maybe. To me, they don't really look like hanging birds, they seem to be walking, on the ceiling.

    These pallets, seized by authorities in Spain, are made of compressed cocaine.

    They watched Narcos S01 where Escobar had a speedboat with the hull made out of it.
