Secret Service Runs At "Six Sixes" Availability

PCM2 writes "ABC News is reporting that the US Secret Service is in dire need of server upgrades. 'Currently, 42 mission-oriented applications run on a 1980s IBM mainframe with a 68 percent performance reliability rating,' says one leaked memo. That finding was the result of an NSA study commissioned by the Secret Service to evaluate the severity of their computer problems. Curiously, upgrades to the Service's computers are being championed by Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, who says he's had 'concern for a while' about the issue."

    did you not being a US citizen influence your decision to bring my morals into question?

    UNDERbid. ZERO is under ANY bid. do it for free. is that moral? do they do things for free to help the common good in your country?

    what if the voting system itself is just as failed as the institution that implemented it?

    lucky for us US citizens that you are safely on some other soil.
