The mind wonders what "potentially unacceptable consequences," are in a nuclear bomb facility!

No kidding! This is a great article. I just finished writing part of an answer to a doctoral exam in which I discuss unintended consequences of technology use. Seems like the techies developing this stuff never think anything will go wrong - and of course it does.

Big difference between problematic uses of PowerPoint and a nuclear explosion, tho! As was clear in the article, the designers never thought people would duct tape the damn explosives!
