Feds Discover 1,000 More Government Data Centers

1sockchuck writes "The US government has 2,094 data centers, nearly 1,000 more than previous estimates, according to an updated inventory by federal agencies. The finding underscores the scope of the challenge facing the Obama administration as it seeks to streamline the government's IT infrastructure in a massive data center consolidation."

    ...literally _lost_. The servers respond to ping, work completely. I just can't figure out where in the country it is.

    "It would be easy for Obama to end the war at the cost of his presidency, "
    What presidency, He's treated like a lame-duck president before the mid-term elections of his first term. Actually calling him a lame duck is being generous, He's more like a turtle on a post,
    You know he didn't get up there by himself,
    he doesn't belong up there,
    he doesn't know what to do while he's up there,
    he's elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb asses put him up there to begin with.
