I believe the s-boxes were provided by the NSA without much comment about them.

You're probably thinking of DES rather than AES with regards NSA provided s-boxes. IIRC said s-boxes in DES were changed by the NSA with no real explanation. Some years later when differential cryptanalysis was discovered in the non-secret world it turned out that the change actually hardened DES against such an attack - so in this case the NSA created a stronger algorithm. See wikipedia.

Submission + - Why the Raspberry Pi won't ship in kit form (geek.com)

An anonymous reader writes: The guys at Broadcom have released an image containing the Raspberry Pi SoC and memory chip to help explain why the tiny PC won't ship in kit form. Clearly the chips are so small and the solder blobs required so tiny, 99% of the time you would mess up doing it by hand. Add to that the fact one chip as to sit on top of the other, and if you're a millimeter out your chips are fried.

My employer was founded at an unknown point sometime before 1096 AD, and currently has something like 25,000 members and employees.

My employee number is >2 million, but I don't think that numbering system has existed for more than 5% of the history of my organisation.

And during that time, the government run military prevented mexicans from invading and stealing back the land your home is built on.

Remember - if you're against socialism, you are against the military and social security for veterans. (from my latest guide on how to push right-wing buttons for fun and profit).
