Watch what happens when a couple billion teenage hackers decide to confound and confuse them.

I don't remember the specifics, but wherever I had originally read about the UT Datacenter, they were discussing the computing power it would take to crack current encryption, the rate of increase in encryption complexity, and the rate of increase in processing / storage power/capacity. Basically, encryption will always drastically outpace the ability to decrypt. Essentially, such processes will always be used to analyze the past. That said, it doesn't make it useless, it just means "they" can't decrypt the higher levels of encryption at anything approaching anywhere near real-time. More like 10-20 years behind. As the next level of encryption becomes standard, it will be significantly longer, as the geometric increase in complexity of encryption far outpaces computing technology.
So anyhow...that's the silver lining lol.

What can we do? We can have a communication revolution. And make it all worthless! Every single US citizen can start putting key words in all their online communication with a small disclaimer as to why. That includes siggies here on ATS, and other forums. Plus we can think of other things they would be looking for and swamp those also. For example using key words like bomb in every day phone discussions. "Wow that show really bombed." "I really want to blow up those garden slugs." Etc....
If this really is true, we could start a movement. But only if it really is true. Since they really shouldn't be invading our privacy.

S & F. Thanks for posting this valuable info. We need to know this stuff.
Two things:
1. It is massive futuristic projects (possibly for the doom of eventual complete control of mankind?) that just makes all the coming doom threads fall to the ground. The underground bunkers and seed banks, built for "their protection and survival" if whatever they want us to believe that is going to happen happens, just does not make sense in the face of this billion dollar project.
Just trying to make sense of the madness of the paradox/controversy of these two developments. One under ground and the other above ground, but in my opinion, not above board.
2. Am I alone in thinking that this thing has way greater capacity than what is known even in this Opening Thread? Why do I have a feeling of horror at the possibility that the RFID chips, now starting to take off in US schools, and this massive project may possibly go hand in hand? Is this the coming of the beast, the absolute control over mankind, that makes me feel sick to my stomack, or am I seeing things that are not there?
Somehow, I think my gut feeling may not be far off.
