How the Internet came close to Disaster
« on: Today at 12:11:39 PM »
Makes you want to top off your preps and make sure you have gardening equipment, food and water stored up, solar panels, etc.

One meticulous German software engineer noticed a 1/2 second delay logging, and discovered the doomsday backdoor.

God wasn't ready to start the Chastisement yet. Just goes to show you, how everything is in His hands.

What I found most crazy about this is that the open source community is so "free" that they have no requirement that you actually prove who you are before gaining access to modify code that might be used with some very sensitive data. So, they "catch" the guy before he's successful, but still have no idea who he is.
