They don't?
defensive mission vs. offensive like the duality of existence, good and bad, bad and good; polemic extremes always.
Thanks coderman. I was slightly annoyed thinking I might have to search the archives to back my claim but you've fully embarrassed yourself (yet again). Appreciated.
gotta learn offensive to know how to defend. then defender uses to advance attacks?
we're fighting this front in many contexts. all the easy lines are drawn, and the problems left hard to impossible.

i don't know if you have good or bad intentions, Juan.
Of course. If I were murdering people left and right, or commiting any of the endless list of crimes your government commits, they you'd be quite sure that I have GOOD intentions. But, since I'm not buying any of your stupid propaganda, you're not sure if I'm an outright terrist...or somebody sitting at a desk near you, right?
but i hope you know what i like about NSA is their defensive support, and i miss the days when they weren't raving drunk with offensive addiction pointed domestically...
Ah yes. You are right. The real problem with the NSA and the US gov't in general is that 'now' they allegedly started spying on AMERICUNTS! How did jesus allow such monstrosity to happen? I mean, burn brown people abroad? Of course. Fun and profit! But spy on white anglo saxon AMERICANS??? How did fucking g-d let that happen. We all pray for the NSA to go back to its defensive anti-terrist activities.
[ and funny enough, their offensive addiction led to leaks which led to mass adoption of crypto in ways i never imagined could happen. so might even say a BAD NSA is good for privacy. ]
Sure. Google and the cloud now are password protected. Nice.

best regards and intentions, even to Juan ;P
