US Government Upgrades RAM
Deep Throat writes "Techworld has the scoop on a new super-sized RAM disk that the US government has just bought for a few million dollars in order to speed up searching through huge databases. It's 2.5TB! The VP of the company that made it says it is for Washington DC and searching databases but won't say who. Techworld explains why it reckons it's the Department of Homeland Security searching in the NSA and Pentagon databases for terrorists. And apparently the government is 'very happy' with the purchase and thinking about getting more."
I think you're confused. About many things, but mostly Haiti. Hispaniola was purged of all it's natives by the Spanish in the 15th and 16th centuries. In the 17th century, France built a colony on the western end of the island called Hati, filling that end with all these French people, inducing Spain to give the western third of the island to France. France grew sugar there with large numbers of African slaves through around 1800, when the slaves quit taking that shit and killed all the French people. Then they took turns killing eachother until 1990, when they decided to try some democracy and elected Jean-Bertrand Aristide president. Then they tried to kill him, so he ran away until the UN told Clinton to sent some marines to give him his job back. He got elected again in 2000, but some old people voted for Buchanan and they tried to kill him again, so Bush told him to fuck the hell off before we bust a cap in your ass. Then the UN told Clin^H^H^H^HBush to send some marines to give him his job back.
There's no island, really, the French haven't given a shit since 1804, and nothing's happened yet for anyone to look at, besides the traditional post-election coup and Bush being an asshole to Aristide.
