[QUOTE=Josef Stalin;39544332]I'm betting bullshit. According to [URL="http://www.emc.com/about/destination/digital_universe/pdf/Expanding_Digital_Universe_IDC_WhitePaper_022507.pdf"]this[/URL] the entire capacity of all hardrives every produced in 2006 was 160 exabytes, or 0.00016 yottabytes. I find it hard to believe that even a single data center will have 6250 times that amoutn of data even these days.[/QUOTE]
The NSA has technology not seen before in the consumer world, so I wouldn't immediately assume that.

Keep in mind this is wikipedia and wired we're talking about.

They said themselves that they have technology we haven't seen before. I do not know any more proof to add to this discussion though. Pretty obvious because NSA likes to keep those things secret.
Jesus christ, this bullshit again? How many times must we say not no but fuck no before these fuckwads in congress get the point?

babam.
If you're part of US, Austraila, NZ, UK, or Canada, then your internet traffic is quietly being monitered by NATO anyhow. I'm surprised less people know about this. All your communications have to go through government infrastructure- you don't think they tap that? The only reason they don't is because of legal matters that bills like this would do away with.

No one in the world has the computer infustructure to monitor everything coming through some of the largest internet faring countries in the world.
No one actually knows what ECHELON is, but it's assumed it monitors radiowaves that are practically broadcasted in every direction, and watch telecommunications for specific codewords that send alarm bells ringing

Wasn't Echelon the name of some Dreamcast warez group?
God damnit, when will Congress learn that the US voting public will NOT tolerate anti-Internet, anti-privacy like this. We all know it's just a thin excuse to streamline turning over personal information to anti-piracy crusaders and the government.

Shit, so that's why my copy of mortal kombat I got for free (Came with the console and a load of other games from Ebay) has a weird intro with that name on it
You never stop learning eh

Our politicians are quite literally bullheaded. It's gross. It's really gross.
[QUOTE=blacksam;39539796]Write to your congressman, although as I look up the [URL]http://intelligence.house.gov/[/URL] the vast majority are not intelligent at all.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=CMB Unit 01;39539776]Not again. They're just going to keep on hammering at this issue, aren't they? Until someone is able to pass an act securing the internet.[/QUOTE]
In that case it has to be an "Eternal Conflict"; even if they hammer on until the end of time we gotta hold the line and stamp on their hands whenever they try to get a foothold. If the ladder slams against the wall, kick the fucker back down and let it squish the orcs under it (no offence to any orks in the audience).
There are no oceans on the internet because the internet IS an ocean; it is a place that is not meant to be governed by any one entity, but instead by all of those who use it.
they're just going to keep trying this shit until one fucking gives up aren't they?
