Tech Titans Oracle, Red Hat and Google To Help Fix Healthcare.gov
wjcofkc writes "The United States Government has officially called in the calvary over the problems with Healthcare.gov. Tech titans Oracle, Red Hat and Google have been tapped to join the effort to fix the website that went live a month ago, only to quickly roll over and die. While a tech surge of engineers to fix such a complex problem is arguably not the greatest idea, if you're going to do so, you might as well bring in the big guns. The question is: can they make the end of November deadline?"
No but I heard 18 Women can do it in two weeks. The guy from Infosys told me so.

In two months the site will be using Oracle and Ellison will charge the Feds a fortune for the license fees.
Google will start mining every piece of data it can get off the website, of course the NSA will be stealing that and stashing it in Utah.
Red Hat will push it all to RHEL which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

My wife saw that book on my shelf last night and asked if it was related to a man's period. I had to chuckle.

Of course maybe it was a literary illusion. ;D

Enlisting JUST ONE of the tech giants would be more productive.
Crap, now the NSA will have a backdoor into the government!
Ok! But afterwards, why don't you bottom for 9 men and we'll also see if you produce a butt baby in 1 month!
Or are you just a sexist asshole?
Alright, who is getting crucified over this one?
Just what we need. One-click insurance from Amazon. :P

They didn't mean like horses and stuff... Wow, they like totally meant Calvary - cause that's like the most common saying ever, you know, calling in the ancient name for Golgotha, the place just outside Jerusalem. You and your horses.... cavalry indeed. Preposterous!

Oracle's involved, so good luck with that.
You can hold down the "B" button for continuous firing.
