Wow! Terry, then CNN, now Harvey! Well, I better stop commenting
on it, to maintain a shred of dignity. But how in the helllll could
*hackers*
pull off such a thing? How would they know how to manage all the
systems, just to keep the transmitter pointed to the receiver is quite
a trick. Surely there is something we are not being told. This really
does not compute guys!
On the other hand, perhaps my bogon filter is turned up too high.
Which is good news: Maybe the roton will work as advertised!
