- eggy 4y agoWell played. I do find HN to be full of "expert" commentators on any subject matter even if they aren't ;) Remember David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day) figured out how to defeat the alien invaders by uploading a virus to the alien ship. He used MacOS 8! Wasn't it a modem parity issue (8N1) or some other such nonsense for a space-traveling, gravity-defying spaceship?
