>about 20% faster Most of the time (both home & work) I agree that the forum "seems" faster But, as before the upgrade, things are not faster 100% of the time for 100% of operations (again, both home & work) But, as I've mentioned before, I've talked to IT where I work, and also read online magazine articles, so I know that a large % (as much as 80% ?) of web traffic is spam, so a new & heavy spambot operation could certainly slow the entire Internet to a crawl at any given time ...

Another observation on the Mitch Rapp series Besides US (and other) political corruption, the author has some balance in discussing the complexities of the situation in the mid-East Yes, he has Mitch Rapp using his Arabic fluency to go after terrorists... but he also "shows" the mindset behind the terrorists, and how a child can grow up to be a killer based on the totality of life in that area, and the decades long war between Isreal and the surrounding Arab world As I said... interesting read ...

Not (quite) on the order of international spies and assassins, but I've read a few articles about Rupert Murdoch and the spying his newspaper(s) have done in the UK and maybe in the US and other places  Now that the lid has been taken off what was happening, it's like watching ants scurry about when you lift a rotten log to expose their nest  Pretty much like some of the political scandals here in the US... rich/powerful men (mostly... a few women, I guess) thinking they can do anything they want, and all "surprised" when they are found out  The Mitch Rapp novels are (???) a bit on the extreme side of showing political corruption... or maybe not extreme at all... but the books SEEM true to what often comes out of US politics, so it may very well be that there ARE politicians that ARE that corrupt... anyway, the books are a good read (I'm now on #4) ...

>better job at research, than many of our Inteligence community No links, just faulty memory, but I know that I have read articles concerning the difficulty of gathering "live" intelligence (ie-spies) in many parts of the world, so CIA types have to use technology... which is not always that great or timely It may be that our spy agencies do have the technology to intercept cell phone calls... but considering the volume, I'd guess it is VERY difficult to pick one "bad" conversation out of the millions of calls made every day Especially considering the bad guys are not ALL stupid, and the smart ones are going to use code words to hide the real subject of the call "Please deliver a pizza (bomb) to the party (rival gang meeting) at 1234 Any Street at 9PM" ...

>fiction and movies are skewed to "fit" the mindset and box office Yes... and "escapist" movies are more in line with what **I** watch than are movies based on the real world Case in point... I do watch action-adventure-spy movies (Bourne, James Bond) but since I've been there (Vietnam) and seen the real thing, I have absolutely NO interest in watching movies about "real" wars ...

>series by Vince Flynn, whose main character is Mitch Rapp I started with the "prequel" Term Limits and have now read 2 of the Mitch Rapp books Well plotted, interesting characters... and WOW does contempt for most politicians come through loud and clear !!! Doesn't really say if this is true personal opinion http://www.vinceflynn.com/About_Vince.html or just story plot... but I do have to agree, at least somewhat, that many (most?) politicians become (start out as?) only concerned with personal power and reelection, not any real care for the public There was mention at his site about a movie franchise (ala James Bond, I suppose) so will be interesting to see what, if anything, is made ...
