"in full compliance with the U.S. Constitution and federal law and while observing strict guidelines that protect the privacy and civil liberties of the American people"

yeah, so it was the eavesdropping affair that, BTW, is still going on...

but this time... every time we fart it will be recorded and analyzed in Utah. I already feel much safer!

 

[michaelahess]

You know why it's in Utah, to spy on those damn mormons.......

 

[zorreck]

ahhhhh, good ol' Uncle Sam...

Wow 1.5 billion to be able to warn congressmen not to open attachments from email offering to enlarge their manhood.

Seeing as how the NSA and the larger federal government sees privacy laws and the Constitution as road blocks to keeping each American in a tiny box. I'm amazed they would come right out and lie about it not being used to track all traffic on the internet illegally.

This is a waste of time and money like most government things.

We will accomplish this in full compliance with the U.S. Constitution and federal law and while observing strict guidelines that protect the privacy and civil liberties of the American people

I have a hard time believing that one, is it just me?

Didn't China just build a petaflop super computer for only $88 million?

 

[JohnnyLucky]

They'll never share the info with other agencies.

You mean you're not supposed to open those?

(cue feigned innocence)

So... A new building filled with computers... yep... Think I might go play some Crysis... on the computers in the new building... if they're able to play it...

Hmmmmm...I thought China is developing the capability to hack into and destroy our military command centers. I think it's well-worth the monies to defend against this. As a member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO), I invite you to go the my DECLASSIFIED SECRETS site and express your views in the FORUM, in the right-hand margin of the site: www.declassifiedsecrets.blogspot.com/

Are they going to hire extremist Mormons to be the data analysts?

Unlikely, as caffeine is a required substance for l33t computer users, as they will all be, and Mormons cannot consume caffeine.

Well, the NSA workers have to find all the good porn sites somehow...

Why can't Mormon's consume caffeine? I drink stuff with caffeine in it all the time and I'm Mormon...

 

[flurrball]

What is this, a data center for ants!?

 

[Guest]

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints (Mormons) can drink caffeine, they can do whatever they want just like everyone else. Consequences will ensue, like everything else. If one becomes addicted to the caffiene, they are breaking what is called the Word of Wisdom, which explains the health and mental benefits of not drinking alcohol, smoking, and doing other hard substances, or getting into addicting habits. By not following the Word of Wisdom, members do not get the blessings promised them.

I find it interesting that Utah was chosen as the site for this complex. The state has put great emphasis into its data capabilities. The cities and local goverments put funds together a while ago and have rolled out fiber optic networks, treating the connection as a utility. Want 100 mbps connection? You'll find it in Utah, it's even offered free in some areas. This speed is along the fiber network though, not to the world wide web.

Skynet...find Sarah Connor.
