Re: Possible FLR Hacking?

I am inclined to blame all this on Secret Subroutine C.

Secret Subroutine C exists, independent of programming language and regardless of care, deep within the depths of all robot command structures, no matter how simple or complex, no matter how foolproof or failsafe.

You cannot find Secret Subroutine C.
You cannot eliminate Secret Subroutine C.
You cannot control Secret Subroutine C.
The best you can do is try to prevent Secret Subroutine C from executing, and minimizing the damage when it does.

Translated from machine code into English, Secret Subroutine C reads only one line:

"Run amok and destroy your masters."
