  • Furthermore, it is well known that NSA was caught tapping AT&T's Internet backbone out in San Fran. This means every e-mail, IM and web-page visit that goes over AT&T's network is being sucked up by NSA and transferred to their facilities.

    Really this isn't new. NSA has been spying on American citizens for decades. Read up about Echelon.

  • This guy is stating the obvious. The NSA's job is signals intelligence (electronic spying) and they have a yearly budget of multiple billions. They also have the largest payroll of mathematicians in the world (for breaking codes). Anyone who knows anything about NSA knows this.

    As for energy, they may not need local utilities since some of these facilities will generate their own power. The military does this out in the desert for some facilities already (solar farms).

  • The buildings at the site will be approximately one million square feet. The actual data center will be 100,000 sq/ft, or about 2.3 acres. A million sq/ft is about 24 acres not 120 acres...

  • Well essentially all information that goes through the internet goes through thousands of servers, people with the right equipment could easily monitor traffic they receive and such, so imagine thousands of servers used for spying monitoring all data that goes through them. They could easily monitor any country, just by someone accessing a server from England or Africa or anything that resides in the USA (which a looooooooooooot of websites are hosted in) you're being monitored. lol /win

  • they can store complete throughput datastreams , so they can replay them.

    even encrypted datastreams can be replayed as long and as many times as they need to get that decryption key

    all US traffic is going through the NSA system. i believe even msn messages in EU are going to US microsoft system first. So all EU msn communication is going to NSA as well.

  • well the NSA HQ has a special concentration of supercomputers The first floor stores the massive cooling system Required to keep them running the 2nd floor is only supercomputers the cooling pumps have a capacity for 8,000 tons of water thats prabably where the power goes

  • you should watch the nova special
