In the 1970's banks had developed technology to read the magnetic MICR text on checks through an envelope to presort incoming mail. (MICR is that wierd font used for account and routing number at the bottom of a check)
IIRC the problem (aside from radiation) is the the blast shatters underlying bedrock, so that any canal will have trouble holding water as it will tend to seep out. Additionally the sides of the canal will be very crumbly and prone to erosion.
Well, I would suspect bad guys are already using this tactic, and relevant filters were developed to deal with it.
Now, if you start unilaterally pumping out fake terrorist chatter... well that just might put you into a different class of person: wala! you just became a bad guy yourself. Because even though you just want the surveillance to end, you are indirectly helping the bad guys... and that isn't going to go over well.
What is stopping MS from creating an Android and/or Linux distro? Their own phone (running Android)? XBox seems to be doing well - we'll see how XBox One does.

NSA is SIGINT. Postal traffic is handled by other members of the IC.
It is all OCR.

hawhawhawhawhaw
Carry on.

You didn't mention the open sewers in the streets, and that more toilets are needed.
A better lawyer steps in the room:
Q) How do you plead?
A) Not guilty.
Specifically, it protects folks from being prosecuted based on "confessions" gathered under torture.
That was the original intent. We seem to have deviated a bit from that premise.
I hope this clarifies things for Microsoft.

>> Terrorism is not, and never was a threat.
I can think of 2800 people who might disagree with that.
If you are referring to the entrance off RT 32, I suspect that is the new power plant.
Not reported is that they are also building a massive powerplant at Ft Meade.
This is where Americans go to work when the private sector is flooded with H1B's.
A machine that offers cash for a phone on the spot is certainly not going to drive down phone thefts.
So in actuality, they aren't "watching" at all.
A murder that is not related to child porn. For him to decrypt those drives, he would be incriminating himself for the murder.

Mice. Keyboards. Legacy support for Windows.
MS has lot's of life in them yet.
Oh yes there is. Few can match the majesty of my yellow buttons with magenta text.
Sometimes cold American beerwater is great (very hot sunny days for instance).
If it is simply a shitty GUI on an improved kernel and stack then I will deal with it.
What little Windows development I do is at least 50% command line anyway. My GUI apps simply are wrappers (and quite ugly thank you).
From what I have read, it hasn't been fully determined that Proxima is gravitationally bound to the Alpha Centauri binary system.
So they draft a law forbidding that practice.
For various reasons NVIDIA's architecture is not optimal for bitcoin mining. But as you can see, it is quite powerful in other problem spaces.
The serial interface is not the problem, the 16 bit software talking through it is.
