Thank you for your perspective goobs. I have a few brothers that work in I.T. and their experience is usually the same. Massive projects requiring a lot of top-down organization. At the bottom level, you're right, just comparing data tables in Java. My main diss of governments is the fact that they seem to be taking a million years to shut down most illegal things happening on the internet. And they're certainly not going to be able to stop most homicidal killers before they advance their plots, so this tech will most likely just be used to infringe average people's rights.
