President Bush's grab for unchecked eavesdropping powers is the culmination of what the National Security Agency(NSA) has spent forty years doing unto others.

And if you're upset by the idea of NSA tapping your phone, be advised NSA likely can also read your Windows software to access your computer.

European investigative reporter Duncan Campbell claimed NSA had arranged with Microsoft to insert special "keys" in Windows software starting with versions from 95-OSR2 onwards.

In the U.S., Andrew Fernandez, chief computer scientist with Cryptonym, of Morrisville, N.C., found Microsoft developers had failed to remove debugging symbols used to test his software before they released it.

1. Dear NSA: Fuck you.

And fuck George Bush too. And Cheney. And, by the way, fuck you again.

2. Thanks for the word

Now would someone please create a graphic for me, so that when the NSA visits I'll be able to great them appropriately.

I was think of something along the lines of a hand with it's middle finger raised.

Thanks

4. Wasn't this debunked a few days ago here?

Governments the world over use Microsoft. They have thoroughly checked things out. they would not allow any back doors to their software.

5. As a general rule

Assume that unless you are using good third party encryption regularly, and maybe even then, the NSA can read your harddrive at will.
