    We had a meeting and the PHB told all of the engineers, who had been playing with the Dilbert Mission Statement Generator before lunch, we were going to synergize our cross-platform strengths and could not understand why we could not stop laughing.

    I think King Canute - IIRC - was demonsrating to his advisors the limits of his power and knew full well he wasn't going to order the tide to go in or out ;)

    And then........in some sci-fi book I read...........the AI eventually figures out a way to rewire itself to have an endless orgasm and self-destructs. Kind of like teenagers, but they can't actually achieve this goal.

    FSB - we got some hot intel on jihadis - got anything to trade? CIA - we got a n00b geek that needs to go back to the main office and not waste space at the embassy? FSB - wanna have some fun? CIA - sure - want us to give him a wig or two? FSB - lol

    Writing a comic really has no bearing on this person's other abilities. A movie actress invented spread spectrum, so there ya go! (not to say the polygraph isn't a pice of shit - it is. All it tells you is if the subject is nervous)

    The Russians really don't care. If we DIDN'T spy on them it would be the first time since dirt was invented major powers did not spy on each other.

    It is NOTHING to do with brainpower and everything to do with having young employees with no life that think working for free - i.e 60-70-80-90 hour weeks for 40 hours pay - - is OK.

    The point is some human at some point has to take some kind of action. Our super-spy system seems to have done "not much" to keep a couple of Jihadis from blowing up the Boston Marathon for one example.
