US Government behind Windows 10 upgrade

[CAJUNLAWYER]

My 25 year old told me she read on the internet that the reason why everyone gets a free windows 10 upgrade is because the government has installed special code in it to keep track of the users activity. I told her is was because Windows 8.1 sucks.
But I think her story is much better so we'll go with the government conspiracy theory for now.

Someone got any salt for my popcorn????????

I believe the government has for some time been tracking everyone's communications, including telephone and internet traffic. No way to tell if W10 contains improved covert features to enhance monitoring efficiency, but I believe that is safe to assume that Big Brother is snooping on everything and everybody anyway, and act accordingly.

Have they started chipping people under the guise of efficient health care?

There was a 1938 law that allowed interception, decryption, and analysis of all coded transmissions. This is the legal framework the NSA has used to read, literally, all emails. That goes back to at least the early 90s. Circa 1979 the NSA was already recording and analyzing all international phone calls and had been for a while. Like when the Brits decrypted Ultra, only some of the information is acted on, so as not to draw attention to it. Dig into a bit if you want. Tapping Merkels phone etc was the tip of the iceberg.

They have satellites that x-ray your house anyway, so no big deal.
They can read the label on your pants, but it is sometimes backwards cause it depends on which way you're facin.
I try to buy underwear and jeans with labels in exactly the same spot just to mess with em. You know- like a double exposure.

Reckon a lead roofing company would prosper?

Oh my.

Bill Gates has had a backdoor coded into ever version since the beginning of microsoft.

I am pretty sure those colonoscopy activities are still illegal in the state of Texas.

Windows 10 - X Files. 10 = X ... Coincidence?


How much tin foil to cover my entire roof?

I think you might be right about the government being behind the upgrade. As my OS boots up, there is a small picture of Obama in the upper right hand corner. Then a message on the desktop says I have to pay a Windows tax, or have a fee deducted from my income taxes before I can use it.

Think about it. If there are just 100 million people who use the internet and they average just 1 hour a day that is 100million hours of traffic a day and I think that is conservative. If a program like carnivore is checking the traffic and kicks out 0.10% or 1/1000 of that you have 100,000 hours a day, 7 days a week or 700,000 hr per weak. If the government has workers checking this data and they are actually putting in a meaningful 35 hours a week it would take 20,000 people ever week. Give them 5 weeks off combined vacation and sick leave and holidays and you need about an extra 10% or 22,000 people plus another 10% to supervise them for 24,200 to read all that data and decide needs to be tagged. Thats just to sort it out. Then you would need just as many to try to figure out what to catalog and store it. Near 50.000 people. Thats if the government was anywhere near efficient. They couldn't even manage to get the health care bill completely read. Its called informational overload.

It would be like me having 10,000 S&W revolvers and 10 million rounds and trying to decide what I was going to take to the range.

I used to believe that stuff too, about how our electronic buying habits tell them all about us and our preferences etc. and allow them to control and direct our behavior and such.

I'm having my doubts about the effectiveness of that. After decades of buying nothing but books about guns, war, murder and mayhem from them, the picture below shows what Amazon has apparently identified as my most likely next purchase, custom-tailored to my Kindle's screen saver.
