G+_Neil McAliece Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Hmmmm.... now the first task with a new PC will be install the OS from scratch (though there is probably secret NSA spyware on the install discs).... I know that some people want the NSA to be able to do this sort of stuff to protect the wider community. My concern is it seems that there is little that they wouldn't do and very few people know what they are up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
