and I thought net neutrality was about throttling.... I didn't realize how much money was opposing net neutrality and the actual reasons.
Comcast (Universal) doesn't need SOPA if the can win the net neutrality battle.
So, for you proponents of the privatization or everything, what do we do in this (hypothetical) scenario?
Deadly virus starts very slowly over years in third world country where there is no money to be made by creating a vaccine. Years later, virus starts spreading through the entire world at an alarming rate, killing all infected within 5 hours of contracting the disease, which spreads as easy as measles, at which point it's too late to develop a vaccine.
(My point being, a government funded research lab would have potentially stopped this virus in the early stages)
How would you convince them to abandon their plan to dive into project management and use an existing solution?
List all the reasons you think it's a bad idea, present it to them, let your opinion and advice be heard. Then tell them you will go with whatever decision they go with, it sounds like they have already made up their mind, if you are getting paid, just do it. (If you're not getting paid or just want to help then mock up an currently existing solution and show it to them as proof of concept.
Hey, people/companies/government's make bad decisions everyday and there is usually someone in the corner (waving their arms or not) who actually has a much better solution, who was unheeded.

Peter got really fed up with Motif. So he decided to write his own. He called them gtk and gdk, for the Gimp Tool Kit, and the Gimp Drawing Kit. Peter tells us now that they never intended for it to become a general purpose toolkit - they just wanted something to use with GIMP, and it "seemed like a good idea at the time". GIMP History
It seems just about everyone here agrees this is a crappy company.
How come the gov decision makers don't know this? why was accenture chosen?
What company would you all suggest as the right choice? and why can't the community (i.e. "we the people") alert them to this apparent bad decision?
(I know nothing about this company or any good contractor to suggest myself)

Do you have an alternative business model for financially rewarding music creators?
"As much as we all love turntable.fm, we have decided to shut it down to fully concentrate on the Live experience."
This is good news for music consumers and music creators!
Generally streaming for music creators is "meet the new boss, same as the old boss", i.e. no money
We need a new paradigm where content users and content producers are both happy! (no one else is needed in this equation).
Streaming services provide the same type of service as radio. i.e. as a promotional tool only.
In traditional radio artists essentially do not get paid. In streaming artists essentially do not get paid.
These avenues act as 'discovery' zones and aggregators where we can find new music easily, this service is still needed for both sides. Unfortunately streaming has turned from discovery only into content controller. (i.e. stream from the cloud where all music now exists) you can listen and listen, no need to buy, which is great for consumers but not great for creators.
It's fine that recordings are promotional tools only, the only trouble is that creating recordings takes time and is not free.
Update: One day after the publication, Amazon did not stop tracking, but fixed the vulnerability - the config links are now served over HTTPS. Once again, full disclosure helped the common folks' security.

I'd love to comment but I have to finish up my hadoop task on AWS before the end of this sprint.

As much as old people want the country controlled by republicans they also want to be as high as a kite during the erosion of their rights....

Yes and I bet there was a least one developer saying the exact same thing who was overruled by mgmt who proceeded with the push regardless!
