  1. Re:its about "now" on Glitches in Massive Government Databases? · · Score: 1

    reminds me of a place I used to work for, that did a lot of Medicare billing software. The old software was created on a system where the data on one screen was not saved to the next screen, and with a small screen 40by something, you could only fit so much onto the screen. So when things were designed when screen 1 needed just Name Age and SSN, it was fine, then the laws changed and all kinds of crap had to be added, and fields although labeled one thing could be used for another, the user had to be trained to know the difference.

    So why have some of those in Camp X-ray been released? Because they are not threats. I'm not sure what cable system you get but all my local Fox station shows is The Simpsons and the X-files.

    Soldiers( enemy combatants) aren't tried in court, at least not what you are thinking. Read up on the Geneva Convention and iinternational and and show me where it's being broken.

    Don't wanna get thrown in a prison camp? Well then don't join the Army and fight. Pretty simple if ya ask me.
