With common algorithms, how much would a LOT of storage help? I know this one organization that seems to be building an omnious observation storage facility, even though omnious observation has very mixed effectiveness (read: not really worth it), and I'm wondering; is the NSA planning on using it to assist breaking the vital data?
I'm not sure distributed processing and huge datastorage has been as fully evaluated as computational finding has been. It's conspiracy thinking, of course, but it seems so strange to me that they let us know what they're building the facility for. Maybe it's something stranger? Something they needed a huge cover for? Something they could cover given circumstances?
