Ok, what's up with all the Subaru jokes. I inherited one from my step-father should I be getting rid of it, and why so"
Nor the North Koreans, the Chinese or anyone else who would wish us harm.
Of course the San Antonio facility was probably in the works at least a couple of years, probably more like 3 or 4, before The Messiah took over. The Bush Administration *was* interested in tracking the aforementioned scum of the earth.
Must be Biblical.
I’m sure it’s just spam for an “adult” site. Still, there’s something about a nekkid woman in one’s list of followers that draws one’s attention.
That’s my cat, but Grammie’s Subaru in post #30. Ask her...
in the meanwhile, I’ve been up since 0400 and the yawn monsters are winning another round.
BOO!
Yes...really.
I can has job? Preeze?
I need one, but I have a cat that thinks it’s a dog.
MI ping for those, who might be interested in a second career outside of the DC metro area.
The only reason I could see sending someone to the Mormon school is for a language not usually taught at DLI (or the cost). For Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Serb-Croatian, Korean, and other target languages, I would go with DLI.
I was there from 92-93 in Arabic and met the technology staff last year at a conference.
We hate it when that happens.
Is this what Zero calls transparency?
NSA plans massive, 65MW, $2bn data center in Utah
*******************************EXCERPT*****************************
The ultra-secretive National Security Agency plans to build a 1-million-square-foot data center in Utah as it seeks to decentralize its computing resources and tap regions with ample supplies of lower-cost electricity.
When completed, the facility will require at least 65 megawatts of power and cost $1.93bn, according to news reports. The 120-acre data center will be located in Utah's Camp Williams, which borders Salt Lake and Tooele counties. Two major power corridors already run through the spot, a major reason the NSA chose it.
The plans help demonstrate how power is emerging as one of the biggest costs in building and running today's data centers. During an initial building phase with a budget of $181m, $52m will be spent in preparatory electrical work, including connecting the two corridors. Later phases will include $340m in electrical work.
The Utah facility will be the NSA's third major data center. In 2006, the Baltimore Sun reported the agency's Fort Meade location maxed out the capacity of the Baltimore area power grid, preventing the installation of new supercomputers that had been planned. In 2007, the NSA announced plans to build a second data center in San Antonio, Texas. The agency is expanding existing intelligence-collection facilities in the UK's North Yorkshire, as well.
The supercomputers will be part of the NSA's signal intelligence program, whose mission is to "gain a decisive information advantage for the nation and our allies under all circumstances," according to The Salt Lake Tribune, which cited Congressional documents.

Thanks for the ping. Hope you are doing well.
