I bet it will come out (HA!) that this was the result of a ill-conceived attempt at post 9/11 inter-agency intel sharing. Hell, Manning was probably surreptitiously ordered to do just that to discredit the whole idea. That way they can go back to each agency maintaining it's own little fiefdom, just the way they likes it.
Many respectable physicists said that they weren't going to stand for this, partly because it was a debasement of science, but mostly because they didn't get invited to those sorts of parties.
Wait, I thought one of the justifications against going FOSS was that if something went disastrously wrong with a Windows system, at least you could sue Microsoft.
Weren't a lot of the "quants" responsible for the great recession mathematicians and physicists lured from academia by the better pay working building models for the banks? Maybe we should be pouring more money into science so these pointdexters don't continue to wreak havoc on things they only think they understand.
This is how you can tell the recent discovery of "fiscal conservatism" by Congress is a kettle of bullshit. If they really thought things were really that dire, they'd be talking about cutting the military (and/or SS / MC). Instead, it's a stalking horse to cut "projects I don't like".
Oh yeah "Ooh, aah", that's how it always starts. But then there's running and screaming.
It was clearly spelled out in the transmission from the pyramid. What part of "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" didn't you understand?

Unlike Congress, a fence post has the wisdom to refrain from doing anything actively stupid.
Here I thought the YRO angle was that CA State employees were being freed of the onus of having to carry a State-owned tracking device.
terrible Google Wave pun
sorry, all that came up when I googled that was this
actually, I'm joking. the actual GIS results for that phrase were even more off the wall

Whoops! I let the cat out of the bag!
I have altered the agreement. Pray I don't change it further.
This kind of horseshit is blatantly anti-consumer. How can this be in any way legal? Oh, wait, legislative entrainment by big business, never mind.

If you've got nothing to hide, why care about privacy?
oh wait, it's not that time in the thread yet?...
there, now that that's been covered, can we move on now?
going way back to where there were different architectures.
Oh wait, I guess we're x86-64 vs ARM these days.
It's that damn daylight savings timecube correction factor that always kills me!
one basement's the same as another
maybe you're ready there for a Jitterbug, pops, with you quaint ideas about privacy and such...
