Actually, the 'new' goals of the NSA are to outreach to the community and industry to create systems that they couldn't create themselves. I think this also ends up tying in to NIST's hope to make the internet a bit more secure and someday move it into the 'utility-status' realm. It also looks pretty apparent that the NSA can't figure out how to monitor everything anymore. I think whatever-law of networking bandwidth is working way against them because moore's law isn't matching the curve. Seems to be the question-of-the-month. How to move the internet into a 'utility'. -- Scott Dier <dieman@ringworld.org> <sdier@debian.org> http://www.ringworld.org/ #linuxos@efnet "When's the last time you used duct tape on a duct?" -Larry Wall
