    This is going on a laminated board, which I shall set above my workplace monitor this very day.

    Priceless.

    AC,

    As another poster, amanfromMars1, has pointed out, does that strategy leave you ignorant of alien developments and hopelessly vulnerable to their impact. Such is the folly of a class AAA fool, methinks. But each to their own, I suppose, if that is your comfort zone.

    You might like to consider this, should you not have followed your own crazy advice above. ..... “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” Mahatma Gandhi .... which suggests if you agree with that formula, that you have a very long way yet to go, although I wouldn't rule out that you may be very content be one of Life and LOVE*'s losers with such an attitude as you have shared.

    "US networks deemed to be of national importance." *could* include Google

    Well as El Reg points out they do carry about 10% of *all* internet traffic.

    Google's got it all already. It's just a choice of, do they pay Google for it , or do they hire hackers to hack Google?

    Why are you all hating on amanfrommars1?? get past the excessive capitalisation, reduce some of the phrases to acronyms, throw in a small allowance for English not being his first language, and he makes good sense. Of course those who believe the way to deal with it is to read the next post will never discover this.

    Reminder

    The NSA has been and continues to be engaged in an ongoing criminal conspiracy to violate US citizens constitutional rights. Pretty much every one of their employees could be convicted of conspiracy if our government wasn't so utterly corrupt that they not only permit, but condone this illegal behavior.

    How many people have been arrested for the ATT warrantless wiretapping? Yes, zero. Probably one of the greatest civil liberties infringements of our time and not a single person charged or prosecuted. But we go after Clinton for playing hide-the-cigar. Nice priorities there.

    And now we're going to give the criminals more power and more toys. This is not going to end well.
