Re:Is everything on the internet? (Score 1)

Consider -- if the military used data from the 'normal' weather satellites and supplied over, the internet, say, then potentially you could hack that, tell them the wrong weather - resulting in stranded helicopters, or catching them off balance or who knows what else. TO be safe they have to (presumably) have a totally seperate downlink to get weather data directly into the military network - that has to be expensive!!
