FBI Computer Systems Were Out Of Date Years Ago

The FBI decided to go ahead and spend $17 million on a pilot program that they already knew would fail because there were serious flaws in the custom software that was built.

According the article, they have decided to move forward again, this time with off-the-shelf software.

Smart move.

I'm a liberal chemical engineer swimming in a sea of right-wingers. My cohorts and I (The Gumbinator, Lemon-Lyman and Johnny K-Street) will post about such things as "green" science and engineering, other engineering/IT and how they may relate to politics and economics, and economic issues such as tax policy and government transparency. Electoral stuff too. Of course, I'll bash the Bushies...
