Sheesh, Google Voice isn't going anywhere.
And by the way, those of us with jobs will always have more than one number
Doesn't look like it
There's a number of reasons why we don't have electric tanks, and those are the reasons the next 'Beast' will not be electric:
Weight Time to recharge Life of charge Massive engine needed to move armored vehicle Massive batteries needed to power the massive engine
But, but
It's electric! {funky seventies jive plays
I would like Keith Alexander to be held responsible for the decisions that he makes and the responsibilities that fall to him and no more than that.
Responsibilities such as selecting and retaining the people who work under him?
Oh for gods' sake, it's Keith Alexander. Any idiot can look that up. Where did this idea come from that the president is lord of all things governmental?
The NSA is a federal agency. The president is ultimately responsible.
That's why we even have elected officials
I'm just tired of hearing people rant against what they voted for.
I've been saying all along that the schools should get the geeks laid instead of the jocks. Even with this study they still won't listen.
I don't know. There is something romantic about choosing to be a geek, against the grain, up the hill, against all odds and disincentives, doing it because you really want to and not because you were bribed into it. It shows great courage and spirit, which I believe is closer to what life is all about. The ones who "go with the flow" and do whatever is the path of least resistance are cowardly and hedonistic by comparison.
True.
But it's still kind of nice to get laid.
They're programmers. They'll get fired anyway. This is America.

See the semi-obligatory XKCD here.
Of course correlation implies causation - or at least suggests it - it just doesn't prove causation.
As the obligatory XKCD points out (I think).
Hah. The elite get in trouble for doing something illegal? Was that a joke?
However, since you pointed out their wrong-doing, you have a chance of being locked up. There is no greater law in these lands than embarrassing or exposing those in power.
The person who has been in charge of the NSA for over five years is one Barack H Obama.
Is he the elite you had in mind?
It doesn't, and it shouldn't but it could do something along those lines by way of feedback.
I've written a number of systems that have lengthy batch processes that flashes up record information as the system moves through; it doesn't show every record it passes as the screen updates would slow down the system enormously, but it updates a couple times a second and shows for example, every 10000th or so giving them real feedback that something is actually happening without slowing it down at all.
I've done similar
Maybe they'll explain to TV producers that facial recognition software doesn't work by showing each face it's checking. Yet somehow get through ginormous databases in minutes.
It's technically silly of course, but
At least the flashing faces convey the idea that a collection of faces is being searched for matches. Which is close enough in concept (I have no idea how you'd visually convey the concept of indexing and such).
