This is a lie.
This is a problem that is solved by throwing money at it.
There is no shortage of money in the BlackOps program.
This article is some weird, thinly veiled (if it is veiled at all) propaganda planted story, though I don’t know for what purpose.
Appropriations Bill lobbying?
NSA attempting to buy the civilian regional electric company and power grid to maintain operational control?
False cover story to “replace” equipment that isn’t broken so they can use the old equipment for even blacker ops?
At this point in the decline in the democratic republic, why bother making any publicity, if not a false cover story for some nefarious deeds? No one would dare call the NSA out on it anyway, heck no one but a few thousand leeches in DC and the DoD/NSA power structure would even know it existed.
This is akin to the Iranians claiming to have only 300 centrifuges hidden in the Fordow mountain tunnels, while the satellite activity indicated well over 3000 centrifuge deliveries.
No one believed Tehran either.
Umm...arc faults in a data center? Suddenly carrying a cup of coffee into a raised-floor facility sort of pales into insignificance. I'd love to know how much gear was on line when it happened. I don't have to wonder what happened to that gear. Crispy critters.
I can only hope the NSA system was developed by the same nincompoops that designed and developed healthcare.gov. In that case, we are all home free.
I love this story.
For me the whole concept of digital privacy is a little like a keyhole, and this story fits PERFECTLY like a key into that keyhole.
Ya know what THAT means? This story is a LIE.
It’s a great post, but sorry, when it comes to news about this stuff and there are allegations of some kind of technical set-back, well, my feeling is that it’s a lie.
Especially with looming budget cuts they want our ire and concern to go away, and that is what this story does.
All people having anything to do with this topic on the government side lie, lie, lie.
Then they stack up more Bibles, swear on THAT stack, and you know what? They instantly go back to LYING.
“Oh man, those idiot dufuses —dufii?— had that huge mountain of cash and they STILL can’t get it right, yuck, yuck, yuck..!!!!”
Sorry, it’s just too perfect. So it’s a lie and the machine is humming along just fine. They’re robbing you of your digital privacy as you wait for red lights to turn green, and while you brew coffee, and while you sleep.
They’re doing FINE out there.
$36Oh, I forgot about shutdown../sarc
They’re doing that on purpose just to make some of us smile...sweet.
hee hee I hope the whole building is turned to ashes. Loss of their lives. Or loss of our freedom.
These dopes are probably operating on all that green crap. Maybe we don’t have much to worry about after all. I am not seeing much competence in this current government.
Someone should fly a 747 into that place...
NSA's Utah Spy Supercenter Crippled By Power Surges
. . . . Tut, tut; what a shame.
Probably caused by affirmative action design firms that are special friends of Obama. In addition, using only the cheapest, most poorly made electrical components from the Chi-Coms in order to boost profits. How much did the DNC & Obama receive in kickbacks is another question.
