Found an interesting article while doing my daily blog reads over at Leo's Blog over at Computerworld. Basically, the Justice department is refusing to hand over supposed public data (at least through the Fredom of Information Act), claiming that "implementing such a request risks a crash that cannot be fixed and could result in a major data loss, which would be devastating. In addition to running the risk of data loss, this is a new feature request which would be costly and take a considerable amount of time to implement."
I would like to know how much the moron whom came up with that lame excuse was paid! Maybe I can claim that next time they need some data here at work out in the counties, "Sorry, we would, but it would crash the system and the computers would just implode."
