I remember my early days of computers (not as old as some folks here, I know) when there was an intense debate on whether a software could cause damage to some hardware.<p>I remember programing a small .asm that would move the head of a floppy to a farther point and it stoped working. Probably not all models would fail, but one particular brand did.<p>Then a intense debate followed that I was wrong. Never talked about it again.<p>Fast-forward, now we have news that nuclear programs had malfunctions caused by cyber-attacks. Ok, not exactly the same "software doesn't damage hardware" we talked back then, but...<p>I'm willing to consider that using software to make some catware cause damages to the hardware should be acceptable too :D
