"
They can do textual processing at a rate of about 10 gigabits a second. What that means is about a million and a quarter 1,000-character emails a second. They’ve got something like 10 to 20 sites for this around the United States. So you can really see why they need to build something like Utah..."
That's 108 billion 1000-character e-mails per day, if the servers run nonstop--far more than the world's daily e-mails. Granted, that kind of work will be bogged down quite a bit, if many more millions of people using crypto-packages like Tor for communications and installing hardened, free, open-source operating systems (e.g., NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc.), other measures, and donating to those efforts.
Maybe many thousands more people will be hired for the intel data centers, and much more new equipment installed. Eventually, the data centers could employ half of our adult population, and that would make our economy really run (irony and humor there)! ;-)
In my insignificant opinion, we'd be better off fighting high-intensity, foreign wars again than trying to police everything so much. Evil assassins tend to get through, sometimes, regardless of efforts to watch them all. We should get 'em on their own turf, and stop letting them into our country. Trade concerns and fears have been getting heavily in the way of our US security.
