The Register has found itself subject to a certain amount of criticism for this author's skepticism ( Richard Chirgwin http://www.theregister.co.uk/Author/2242 ) regarding whether the NSA has been snooping on optical fibre cables by cutting them.
Glenn Greenwald's recent “NSA cut New Zealand's cables” story is illustrative of credibility problems that surround the ongoing Edward Snowden leak stories: everybody is too willing to accept that “if it's classified, it must be because it's true”, and along the way, attribute super-powers to spy agencies.
In running the line that undersea cables were cut, Greenwald is straying far enough from what's feasible and credible that his judgement on other claims needs to be questioned. It seems to The Register almost certain that neither Glenn Greenwald nor Edward Snowden have actually held a submarine fibre cable in their hands.

Do you think that it is credible that these undersea fibre cables were tapped when it is easier to tap onshore installations?

Well is there any way you could perhaps make the text bigger? Because on my 16x9 widescreen your postings look smaller than the warning labels on a medicine bottle and I really don't have the time nor inclination to hack multiple browsers at 2 locations simply to get your posts to render in a readable way so for now I simply have to skip them as they are simply too small to read comfortably.
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.

If you have multiple browsers misconfigured to display unreadable text there is no other solution than to configure them.
