Indeed! And it's safe to assume that an equal level of thoroughness, thought, and consideration went into the implementation of the actual ACA law as did healthcare.gov. If anything the failed website has protected the left against the oncoming backlash, if it had worked properly people would know more about how screwed they really will be. Why do you think Obama (illegally) delayed implementation of some of the ACA business mandates? Because he doesn't want to empty congress of democraps in 2014, which would happen if the truth about the impending disaster A.K.A. ACA were more widely known.
Building websites and their back ends, even big ones, is a known and already-outsourced science. Provided enough budget, this should have been abundantly doable without inventing much. Fscking MarkLogic?!? Christ, with a tiny fraction of their budget I could... you already said the rest to yourself a long time ago didn't you? Makes you wonder in whose corrupt pocket the $600mil went. Say it with me "six hundred MILLION dollars". Of your money.
real problem... not so much here in the snowy Rockies where I live. This theoretical armed gang of 10, 25, maybe 100 facing off against 100,000 armed citizens? And where I come from sharpshooters are the norm - you don't want to face off against a local with a 300 win mag and optics that cost more than the very expensive rifle. These guys put five shots in a quarter sized hole at 600 yards then apologize about the shitty grouping.
Truth of the matter: It is the blacks. America does not have a gun violence problem, it has a black violence problem, 50%+ of the crime committed by 3% of the population (young black men.)
And here is even a cite from a fully-vetted Lamestream Media leftist libtarded source to keep the predictable squealing of "racist!" to a minimum.

They're called zip guns and they've been around since the dawn of time. The terrorists gang members in fucking West Side Story talk about using them. I would be careful about listing the components to make them, some fed thug will charge you with abetting terrorism.
The real problem is the "higher education" system, the outrageous fees (on top of your tax money for public schools), $300 textbooks required for many classes, the pathetically low education value of most the classes, plus entirely worthless classes (required generals), and the fact that businesses still believe that these moron sheepskins should be a requirement for all employment.
Of course, doctors and engineers, etc, should attend higher training, but even these programs could be seriously stripped of the worthless educational bloat that universities profit so hugely from.
About the only thing that the university system succeeds at is indoctrinating/programing young people in the political agenda of the fringe left.
mac: shiny, and with unix under the hood, costs about 3-4 times what it should.
linux: shiny, and with unix under the hood, costs exactly what it should ($0).
I think we can all agree on these simple truths, and based on these truths:
More likely to passionately believe that Obama is the Messiah.
More likely to scoff at people who don't have the right $150 jeans from Abercrombie.
More likely to be overpriveleged spoiled children of rich parents.
In short, more likely to be young self hating white democrat socialist surrender monkeys?
>>No. Just no.

Indeed "urban" IS code for "black" which may not work in this context because "black" is not code for "computer owner."
that 52/25/23 split is the breakout of hunch users, which is already a skewed sample set (people who like hunch). using the market share numbers instead I calculate that amongst the (perhaps less skewed) sample set of "people who own computers" 38% are liberal, 61% are conservative.
this pleases me because: I think people who buy macs are sad fashion victims, that (white) liberals are self hating fully brainwashed morons, and that the "higher education" system is a lot more about creating mac-loving whitey-hating libdrones than learning anything.
i suspect that microsoft inadvertently helped define the netbook: manufacturers wanted to use XP, microsoft wanted XP to die already (still does.) Microsoft parried with the XP-ULPC license, which I believe was only to be installed on machines with no more than 1GB ram and 160GB hard drive. So there's part of the standard. Throw in a 9 or 10 inch display and delete the optical drive and we have arrived in netbook land.
my dual-boot Acer Aspire runs 3.5 hours of XP, or 2.0 hours of Ubuntu netbook edition. Linux power management sucks. The laptop is now the "desktop," so until Linux gets serious about power it's going to be relegated to a beige/black box under your desk/in your server closet.

imagine how much this would rule... if it didn't require UEFI
You apparently are unable to deal with facts.
The left has always believed that rhetoric trumps fact. And if that doesn't succeed accuse racism.
You have succeeded in proving that you have a mental health problem.
Ad hominem = FAIL.

and yet nother of the best posts is made AC. What's with this thread?
snark still thinks the race card is redeemable. No more free passes, Obama used the last one in 2012.
Said like a true non-programmer.

We also have a habit of telling people who would harm us to go and procreate with themselves
Is that what you said when Oceania rounded you up like herbivores and confiscated your rightfully-owned firearms?
Everything in the fridge is melted because I couldn't find the right MIB.
FVWM baby!

mac user: a fool recently parted from his money.
rather us being white-collar working professionals with with more money than sense.
there fixed it for ya
perhaps you speak some truth, but:
I would imagine Mac users are also...
More likely to passionately believe that Obama is the Messiah.
More likely to scoff at people who don't have the right $150 jeans from Abercrombie.
More likely to be overpriveleged spoiled children of rich parents.

The only glaring problem that I can find with ubuntu 10 is power management.
XP = 3.5 hours of battery
ubuntu = 2.25 hours of battery
