AMD's Hammer is more of a "Windows compatibility saver."  It would
not surprise me if Microsoft is lending a hand in AMD's financing.

Web site defacements are as much of a national security risk as
inner city kids spray painting.  There is nothing of value, and
nothing that can't be fixed with a little re-paint.  You'd have
to have the equivalent stupidity of someone parking an F-18 in
downtown LA.  Even then, the only damage would be a new scheme!
