Take the personal shit off, now, because you don''t need it there. Backup and store elsewhere.
Don't put anything but business correspondence on business systems, and don't put anything unencrypted on email you don't want to see on 4chan.
I don't use my workplace email. I use a webmail address so my correspondence follows me if I leave. Not an option for everyone, but nice so you can't get locked out by accident or intent. All my browsing at work is done using Firefox Portable, copied to USB key, and archived at home.
"That also means the government shouldn't turn around and get their knickers in a knot if some guy hacks into NASA;"
NASA should have nothing of importance on the public internet. I'd like to see more attacks on systems to FORCE admins to lock them down. Exposure to disease builds immunity in those it doesn't kill.
NOT spying internationally by every means available is worse than childish, it is negligent. One needs to know as much as practical to gain advantage in a world of competitors and enemies. Not playing won't change the game, and there are no benefits to losing.
I find it quite mature of Russia and the US that neither frothed or penis-waved during the recent spy exchange. It's business, not personal.
"Since you expect the masses to pay for your research, you best give them some motherfucking drama else you can research space on a shoe string budget."
That fear has locked NASA into becoming a sideshow. A reduced budget focused on robots and technology development, coupled with production of Technologically Sexy robots could be a winner.
"Us nerds think the rovers on Mars are awesome.. your kids don't care. "
Good. Trying to curry popular favor by sending manned missions before robot technology (required to make manned missions effective) matures is just pissing away money.
We need robots now on Earth, robots are the most effective way to explore space (humans will always interact with space through a material barrier or by operating...robots!), so do that first. This isn't the 1960s. Technology inspires enough people who will joyfully work on robot projects.
Let the masses fap to what Hollywood feeds them. Get the human DRAMA out of space exploration so we can do _research_.
The reality now is that many G.I.s will be playing video games while deployed. Nothing new, deployments have a lot of boring time to kill (pun intended) and most of them aren't going to get their panties in a wad.
Except for some old folks, the military is a young group who have grown up gaming. Just make good, interesting games.

"I was fucking his wife last night and apparently he was hung like a toddler."
She said you were a "form and fit replacement".
"Churchill was a ruler."
And a fine one. He understood that people who CAN be manipulated through superstition SHOULD be so manipulated in order to make use of them.
Simple people get angry when challenged, but can benefit their country and themselves by being lead using methods that stroke and affirm them.

Fog the place and the bad guys can't hang around.

"It's unfortunate that being suspicious is now a prerequisite to being good at what you do on the internet."
Being suspicious is a prerequisite to being good at life.
Hobbies need not be part of workday ambition, and are a wonderful way to enjoy life vs trying the "job satisfaction" route.
"I disagree. As the parent said, the job of the stock market is to marry capital to seekers of capital."
That's absurd. The purpose of trading stocks is to turn a profit, other outcomes be damned.
"If you ask him, he will likely say he suffers from the disease* called alcoholism,"
Great model, which fits the fact drunks are self-pitying pieces of shit.
"Oh, go back to your grassy knoll already."
Don't knock the Daley Plaza option. It's a "no" vote, but the only way to make your vote really matter. :)
"And watch as the funding levels go down to the level of astronomy and other scientific research."
Maintain it as a porkfest by contacting the same "hog farmers" who support NASA now.
They don't give a shit about astronauts, they care about money and jobs for their districts.
"You don't learn to live on other planets with robots - Jeff Greason [bit.ly]"
There is no need to attempt to learn to live on other planets when the machines required to pave the way aren't ready.

Clearly due to a hardware malfunction.

"The real problem is a society that transforms such things as WAR into ENTERTAINMENT in any form. That is just plain sick and wrong."
That would be any warring society. War dances are entertainment too.
War is often useful, has been so through history, and since it trumps "everything else" it is depicted in "entertainment" and otherwise considered.
The reality now is that many G.I.s will be playing video games while deployed. Nothing new, deployments have a lot of boring time to kill (pun intended)

The game should offer the ability to play either side. Problem solved.
Benjamin Franklin had something to say in the matter:

"Girls of Electronica" Dot. Com. is a bit awkward.
How about Slashfap?
"Erection? (checks self) Nope. Houston, we have a problem."
If you cain't stir the puddin' ya can still lick the bowl!
Sounds like a slow, loose, and greasy event!
"So might as well go for the brainy, geeky girl because that will last. The beauty won't."
++ for extreme truthiness!
"She's certainly well-geeky, but 'hot' she's not ;-)"
Nonsense! She has all the characteristics of hotness:
Airway.
Breathing.
Circulation.
