Lmao, wrong as fuck. The Russians win all the competitions every single year for the past 20 years
The US hasn't even won the ACM-ICPC programming challenge in 20 years

Nope...not even close. Hasn't been for awhile now. Those Russians....I'm good at cyber-security (started in the field in 1982)...but these guys are fuckin artists at virus design. Also I am getting old and sick of lookin at that shit. Now I just deliver pizza and freelance design shit for game companies

Doesn't everyone know this anyway? China and Russia have similar tools. Guarding against this type of thing has been a focus of cybersecurity for at least a decade, to my personal knowledge, and probably a lot longer.

Think people are waking up to the fact the United States of America, the world's leading symbol of Freedom, had 8 years of Obama, 8 years of Bush, 8 years of Clinton, 8 4 years of Bush Sr, who took advantage of the rapidly growing expanse of the internet and funded these tools, used these tools regardless of Nationality, legality, or reason, then lost them. These govt officials are suppose to protect citizens but once again in history absolute power corrupts and instead they weaponized our tax dollars to create tools so they can snuff out competition without the FISA court
Podesta talks about leaving "some way in" in his emails: http://archive.is/oPCi3
But in terms of wanting a way to break in - couldn't we tell tech off the record that she had in mind the malware/key strokes idea (insert malware into a device that you know is a target, to capture keystrokes before they are encrypted). Or that she had in mind really super code breaking by the NSA. But not the backdoor per se?

Ya the clinto bush dynasty cost me 75 dollars.. I bet my friend clinton would win because we have jad a bush or clinton in power for 36 some odd years if u include bush sr as head of the cia and kilary as secratary of state 36 consecutive years and we all know they are still involved behind the scenes.
