Thanks useful information: 6
The NSA is building a new datacentre in Utah. Once operational it is capable of storing over 600gb of data on each and every person on the planet. http://www.npr.org/2013/06/10/190160...gest-data-farm
Makes you wonder what information they have stored on you, eh?
Edward Snowden's leaks are probably only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak

George W Bush's Patriot Act opened up the door to enable this sort of intelligance gathering. I cannot believe that they can state "we don't hold data on U.S. citizens", since the act makes no distinction.
Their need to build this, IMO, is fueled by paranoia. Storing data is one thing. How they hope to process this data in a timely enough manner to do anything with it is another thing entirely.
Cheers
You don't have to be dead to be a donor.
Education is what remains after that which has been learnt, has been forgotten.
It makes me sick to my stomach that what would be considered a gross invasion of privacy by any individual is not only sanctioned but justified as essential for national security. I agree with the EU diplomat's assessment that George Orwell understated the risks in "1984" when you look at this out-of-control so-called ally!

Yep I agree with mudman. In my 61 years on this mortal coil I doubt if I have done anything interesting enough to fill 6 or 7 KiloBytes!
Err...does anyone even remember KiloBytes??

don't worry wanderer, you have nearly nine years more than me to get your 600 gig. let the creative juices flow.
wasn't a kilobyte a quantity of flour with fleas in it?
