[Cialug] This floppy stands between you and armageddon

[Todd Walton]

America's feared nuclear missile facilities are still controlled by
computers from the 1960s and floppy disks:

They make it out to be a thing, but I say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix
it."  Now... if only there were a way to know if it were broke or not...

I love this line:

"But security officials maintain their methods are not only functional but
hack-free, with the underground control room in Wyoming not connected to
the internet, stopping any cyber terrorists gaining control over the
weapons."

As a reminder, Iran's nuclear power plants weren't on the internet either,
and that didn't stop Stuxnet.
