Be Afraid...Be Very Afraid

I may, or may not, work for a company that just might have developed webdata mining technology. That technology, if it were truly existent, might hypothetically allow a government agency; for instance, the FBI, or CIA, or NSA; to search keywords across every website on the internet in the matter of minutes. Every website. Minutes. Is it just me, or is anyone else creeped out by the Big Brother potential rendered to the US Gubment?

I mean, we see this kind of shit in movies all the time, but I've also seen hobbits in movies. And I know they aren't real. Well, except for the pregnant hobbit that's married to my friend, Steve America. But she doesn't count. Anyway, I digress. Its just a little scary actually confirming what has been an Orwellian fantasy up to this point.

Three cheers for Homeland Security.

Shit...you're correct SA...we did see Giant Frodo last Friday night. I stand corrected...hobbits are real.

Bees, this is different because Google and other search engines tap about 10% of the internet at any given time, and do so in a very clumsy fashion. This new technology is far more robust...realtime alerts on keywords from any and every website in existence. Oh, and in Chinese, Korean, and Arabic. Imagine that.

The fox is in the henhouse. I repeat, the fox is in the henhouse.

Thunderslut says that he's making goddamned sure that this technology doesn't fall into the hands of the fairer sex. And speaking of sex, Thunderslut's libido is calling...
