Supercomputer Will Manage Nuclear Weapons

[Alhazred]

Do not, I repeat DO NOT let playful teenage hackers anywhere near this thing.

"The only winning move is not to play,", anyone?

Welp I'm heading off for my custom fallout vault anyone care to join to me?

Well it depends, can you guarantee our vault will be one of the ones from which a hero will one day emerge to single handedly save the world? Because evidence would suggest that a terrible fate awaits the inhabitants of any vaults not required to one day produce a Fallout protagonist.

OT: In reality this story is just seems to be a case of "Government department upgrades IT infrastructure".

Yeah, but it is a very impressive upgrade. I mean just look at those numbers.

One supercomputer in charge of ALL the nuclear weapons?

There is no way this could end badly. No sir.

It's not for controlling the weapons it's for measuring there state of decay so that we know if the ones that were manufactured years ago would still work if used 10 years from now.

Which it seems totally overkill for. I'd bet a buck that Los Alamos is going to be using this baby for a lot of stuff beyond what appears in their press releases.
