The Slammer worm penetrated a private computer network at Ohio's Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in January and disabled a safety monitoring system for nearly five hours, despite a belief by plant personnel that the network was protected by a firewall, SecurityFocus has learned.

Sure it's important to be properly firewalled.
But it's MORE important to not be running systems with critical flaws that need to be coddled and protected from other systems.
Systems like those described in this article should be running on BSD.
Or at the very least linux or AIX or something.
I don't understand how people can continue to build critical systems using MS Windows. Are these people brain damaged or do they just not give a shit?
