Als je weet dat de laatste software voor de nieuwe "NSA TCP/IP politie" 
in de volksrepubliek geschreven wordt...

't is nl. veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel goedkoper dan 'm in de US te laten

Ik wist al lang dat de US government geen brains had, maar dit slaat

oppikken. 't heeft Wired drie maanden gekost en de rest zwijgt nog 
steeds als vermoord.
