The Stuxnet worm included one component created to send Iran’s centrifuges spinning out of control and another to record normal operations at the nuclear plant and then play them back so that everything would appear normal while the centrifuges were tearing themselves apart.
The exercise was allegedly conducted to replicate the environment at Bushehr and Natanz with nuclear centrifuges and other scenarios, Daily News said.
Corrons said the testing was a success, considering how well the attack worked and to what extent the Iranian nuclear program was interrupted.
Is that the article you linked to? Because if so...wtf? If you allow control of such sensitive equipment from the internet at large, you deserve what you get. That is just plain stupid. What are they gonna do if they do develop "the bomb"? Put the fire all nukes switch on the internet too? Headline "Hacker causes WWIII by firing Iranian nukes...details at 11. Assuming we live that long."

There is a reason the U.S. military has their own private network. Heck any nation with any common sense would.

Didn't the majority of people in the 13 Colonies remain loyal to Great Britain until the rebels won?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loyalist_(American_Revolution)

When their cause was defeated, about 20% of the Loyalists fled or were driven out of the US to resettle in other parts of the British Empire, in Britain or elsewhere in British North America, especially East Ontario and New Brunswick, where they were called United Empire Loyalists. Most were compensated with land in Canada or through British claims procedures.[1]

Historians have estimated that between 15 and 20 percent of the white population of the colonies were Loyalists.[2]
