Is it sad I knew exactly what that room was before clicking the link?
Not any sadder than demanded by the implied existence of the room. It's the only Room #### that's been talked about in this context.
According to documents Snowden leaked, this was used in a program to collect email headers, not their content, until Obama shut it down in 2011.
I've not encountered any documents which suggest that. Would be interested though, if there was a news article you wanted to link to?
I knew it. Netflix isn't to blame when my Internets keep getting stuck in the tubes, they're just taking a wrong turn through that beam-splitter thingamajig. Somebody should explain it to Ted Stevens and he'll get right on it.
"Somebody should explain it to Ted Stevens and he'll get right on it."
I don't know if this is made better or worse by the fact that he's been dead for three and a half years.
