[citation][nom]dalethepcman[/nom]Wear tinfoil hats much? Question for you, when does homeland security, or any institution / branch of government / corporation have time to watch, catalog, and police everything everywhere, and why would they care to?First off, you would need multiple nuclear power plants just to generate the electricity required for the processing and cooling alone, let alone the petabytes per second of data that you would need to store. Add to that that 3/4 of what you would be looking at is other people watching porn of tending their virtual farm's...Trust me if big brother wanted you for something they wouldn't need to watch you, they would just email you some kiddie porn and come arrest you.Back on topic, I hope you get some great articles, looks like the trolls are out in force today though. If you don't like windows 8, then why did you bother reading an article about it? Enjoy windows 7 forever, you will be just like all the people at my work stuck on windows xp not willing to learn Windows 7, you know what we call those people? Unemployed.[/citation]
gotta crush ignorance whenever i see it
"Given the facility’s scale and the fact that a terabyte of data can now be stored on a flash drive the size of a man’s pinky, the potential amount of information that could be housed in Bluffdale is truly staggering. But so is the exponential growth in the amount of intelligence data being produced every day by the eavesdropping sensors of the NSA and other intelligence agencies. As a result of this “expanding array of theater airborne and other sensor networks,” as a 2007 Department of Defense report puts it, the Pentagon is attempting to expand its worldwide communications network, known as the Global Information Grid, to handle yottabytes (1024 bytes) of data. (A yottabyte is a septillion bytes—so large that no one has yet coined a term for the next higher magnitude.)"
