[CRAZY-HORSE]

Watched a fascinating program on the box last night called 'Zero Days'. All about the now famous Stuxnet virus/worm that was allowed to self-replicate all over the world. The Americans and the Israelis came up with this one to neutralize Iran's attempt to create an atomic bomb. The virus basically hid in the CPU of the PLC's controlling the plant - it fed false information to the SCADA systems that the technicians use to control the plant. It was telling them that everything was OK but it was systematically destroying the core components in the plant (centrifuges). Bloody clever. First decent program they have had on TV for ages.

could not find Zero Days on Netflix mate...guess im out of luck!

BARBARIANS

Netflix series:
six episodes based on the historical Battle of the Teutoburg Forest  which was fought between Germanic "barbarians" and the Roman Army in 9 A.D.

i learned all about this defeat of the Roman Empire in this region at school in the UK before i was 10.
i had to reaquaint myself with the story prior to commenceing the series and so far it appears fairly accurate.
