All a bit late really - missed out on that one by a year and a month (wonder why they like launching these things to go live on the 13th of the month ????)

According to a UK government IT news site, Skynet has gone live with the launch of Skynet 5A, the first of three satellites that will make up the Skynet miltary communications network. Skynet 5B will be launched later this year and 5C in 2008. Skynet will be used to control the UK miltary at home and abroad. According to NORAD, the Skynet satellites are hardened against impacts and capable of repelling jamming attacks. And what about those flying hunter-killer robots? They carry 3,750 lbs of laser-guided missles, smart bombs, and JDAM munitions. The Register notes that several of those munitions have already been used to target individual humans. Don't forget to brush up on your surivial techniques. For more, see the Register's story on Skynet.

I thought 'Skynet' was what the Terminator films were all about. Is this some elaborate publicity stunt for Harley Davidson Motorcycles?

Ah but that was the first of the network, now they are all up. How long until Skynet becomes self-aware then?
