Yep, it's exactly like that. Fun in the doing and pretty awesome when done.

So, you're saying we should bomb China then?

Taking totalitarian methods, ramping every last fucking one of them up, and adding a few of your own now equals better? Good to know.

Fuck winning, I just want a browser that does what the fuck I tell it to.

You know, you're absolutely right. I'm swearing off Firefox. Which browser did you say was as user-configurable as Firefox again?

Until Mozilla's douchebaggery rises to the level of anyone else's, we're all going to sit right here and take the ass-fuckings Moz keeps handing out every few months.

Social is disabled by default.

Would be nice if true. Fact of the matter is most people get 15 minutes, a prescription, and sent home.

Also, ask for a raise. Plumbers on Earth make way more than you for way less risk.

For all data? Probably not, no. For voice and texts? Most desktops could handle a month's worth. For that matter, it's not like there's any need to store it locally when you're sitting in a major telecom hub.

How much non-voice/text data do they capture? No idea. How much do they have access to with zero accountability? All of it.

Look, if you want to think I'm a nutter and live in your happy-la-la land where your government is too busy farting rainbows and unicorns to ever abridge your rights, have at it. The NSA rooms was not rumor-sourced though. That's first hand observation of one instance and friend or family sourced for three more.

I'll grant you I can't give any detail on the rooms but that's primarily because you're not allowed to ask. If you show any interest at all in what they're doing in there you get detained and questioned for several hours then fired. I've seen it happen.

You're unaware that the NSA has a room in every major telco hub then? And that the techs aren't allowed to even look crossways at it or what they're hooked into, even for network diagnostic purposes? Huh.

Or you could, you know, just drink it before it's old enough to buy its own beer.

Hey now, be polite. Talking to Dumbfuckistan's President like that can only harm diplomatic relations.

All everything is vulnerable if the binary is replaced. There's exactly jack and shit sophisticated about replacing binaries.

Says you. I've seen the source. It's not really even all that complicated. Most of the cycles are taken up by annoy method calls with my object as the target.
