...in the US, why hasn't the US gov't gotten someone to hack into N. Korea's computers and just mess w/ the infrastructure that way? The same Iraq (wait, does Iraq even have computers?):evil: :fire:

I don't think N. Korea actually has an infrastructure. I saw a news program where they showed nighttime satelite pictures of the area. There were NO lights visible in N. Korea. It was very obvious where the two country's borders were.

Cuz everyone that knew Fortran or COBOL is retired! :D

Maybe we should get Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith. They somehow managed to take down the shield of an alien mothership with an Apple laptop :eek:

I am not retired. But I am too darn busy to spend 8 hours in front of a card punch machine to get the same results I can get from 3 lines of SQL.:p

On the subject of the post, I think a hacker could gain more by retrieving data and feeding it to our intel guys than "messing" with N. Korea.

not sure how serious the original question was, but...

N. Korea has nuclear power plants (plural?). This will require some computers & associated gear. The only question is, are they connected to anything else? If there's no way in, you'd have to physically be there to mess with them ... and then you might just as well break something physically.

How do you know they haven't???:scrutiny:
