Especially since China is spying on US companies, while the US is (probably!) only spying on Chinese government/military networks.

Well, in China pretty much everything is controlled by the government, so the US might as well "only spy on Chinese government" to get the same amount of information...

Same here. From 12 to 3am I have my best 'moments of inspiration'. At some point between 3 and 4 (sometimes later, or sooner, depending on how much I slept) that inspiration goes away really fast. Past that point, my code just sucks...
Btw, I like to listen to techno music while programming, since the lack of lyrics and the repetitiveness of it don't distract me while the fast beats keep my adrenaline level (and thus my concentration on the task) relatively high. What kind of music do you like to listen to, if any?

So, the government is just assuming that NONE of the 390.000 employees will fall victim of a social engineering attack, EVER? I don't think that even fits into the definition of optimism...
