All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

FBI's computer update a case study of errors
By: Laurence Arnold
'They made all the classic mistakes,' UC-Irvine prof says
The Federal Bureau of Investigation's three-year, $170 million effort to modernize its computer system has become a case study in all that can go wrong. The bureau's second attempt will test whether it learned from experience.
In one college classroom, the failed bid by the bureau and its contractor, Science Applications International Corp., to make millions of investigation files accessible in the bureau's computer system is presented as an example of a "spectacular" failure of an information-technology project.
"They made all the classic mistakes," said Susan Elliott Sim, an assistant professor at the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences, part of the University of California at Irvine.
Of the $170 million the FBI spent on the project it abandoned in April, about $105 million was lost on services and equipment that can't be reused, FBI Director Robert Mueller told a Senate appropriations subcommittee in February. Last month, he told the same subcommittee that the bureau would avoid repeating its mistakes in its next effort, dubbed Sentinel.
'Money down the drain'
"Our effort to enhance our information technology during the past several years has provided us with much-improved understanding of program management, as well as technical expertise," Mueller said.
Mueller declined to discuss a price estimate for Sentinel.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, said lawmakers want to make sure "this is not money down the drain like the last time."...
[Me? Even if the rollout of the ObamaCare website had gone perfectly, that doesn't change how horribly destructive ObamaCare is and how morally corrosive socialism is.]
Amen to this, but the more I read, the more convinced I am that we are just a few people thinking like this. I am usually very optimistic, but I think we´ve lost the train in this one, and nothing can change the road we are embarked on.
