Passport Database Outage Leaves Thousands Stranded

Posted by Unknown on from the maintenance-considered-harmful dept.

linuxwrangler (582055) writes Job interviews missed, work and wedding plans disrupted, children unable to fly home with their adoptive parents. All this disruption is due to a outage involving the passport and visa processing database at the U.S. State Department. The problems have been ongoing since July 19 and the best estimate for repair is "soon." The system "crashed shortly after maintenance."

    This is a very insightful comment, pity you posted it as anonymous. I do not mod up anonymous by policy, and often it is a waste of time to answer them. People hire techs by peanuts, get monkeys.
