Northrop Grumman Says 'I'm Sorry' For Virginia IT Outage

Lucas123 writes "After a storage area network in a data center run by Northrop Grumman went down last week, crippling 26 state agencies' websites — some for more than a week — Northrop Grumman has now apologized to Virginia, saying it will learn from its mistakes in order to recover systems faster in the future. Northrop's $2.6 billion service contract with Virginia's government has come under harsh criticism in the past for service outages, along with project delays and cost overruns."

Re:Apt Futurama quote

[Amouth]

i'd like to see the whole transcript to be honest - that looks like a little spin to me.

the first quote is statement of fact - the second is obviously in relation - but to what extent?

also note that keeping fields going doesn't exactly translate to drill more..

for you to take that and translate it to

"Approve permits for our off-shore drilling, or we won't pay."

is what i call over spin/fear mongering.
