If you pay these guys to do something, they will take your money, giggle to each other about it, and then poop on your front lawn while calling you gay.

I don't think a bunch of hotshot crackers are prepared to play at the nation-state level.

It's all fun and games until someone decides it's just easier to kill you.

But then you'd have some sort of cyber John Dillinger/Martin Luther style martyr to contend with on the intellectual plane.

are you sure about that?

Your taxes are already paying for much more intelligent people to do that.

Why do people always assume this? Makes it easier to sleep at night? Do the various government agencies pay that well? I would say the smartest people are either doing research for universities or making big money in the banking industry. I can't think of any reason that the best ones would find themselves working for the government of all places.

But we can't show you what they are doing right now. Sorry. PS: More money please!
