The $6 Billion Military Software Project That Came to Nothing
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, June 20 2012 @ 10:45 PM EDT
The Joint Tactical Radio System was an amazing concept put forward by the US
military.

It was designed to future-proof the entire communications system used by all US
defense organizations, which is why it required 15 years of work and the
investment of $6 billion dollars.

Sadly, things didn't go to plan.

Off topic thread

Looks like Larry Ellison is about to buy 98 percent of the island of Lanai. I bet he was hoping to win Oracle vs. Google so he could afford the other 2% :-)

Chromium OS gets ported to Raspberry Pi
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, June 21 2012 @ 04:31 AM EDT
Right now the OS does little more than boot up, but if the embedded version of
Chromium can be made to function without issue it could make browsing the web on
the Broadcom SOC-sporting PC much less painful.

Then again, performance is a big question mark.

USPTO is not the only government organization/department that seems to be lacking in "intellectual skills".

Wow, is Washington capable of doing anything right? What is the per-capita ratio or lawyers to everyone else in Washington? Anyone know?

Apparently Larry Ellison just bought one of the Hawaiian islands.

In other news, Oracle just filed a change of venue motion for their appeal to be heard in Hawaii....:)

Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, June 21 2012 @ 12:38 PM EDT
aka: hillbilly hives

Other evidence included i) a strong correlation between histories of tick bites and IgE to alpha-gal (χ2=26.8, pAmblyomma americanum is common, and iii) a significant correlation between IgE antibodies to alpha-gal and IgE antibodies to proteins derived from A. americanum (rs=0.75, p[less than]0.001).

Allergic to Meat: Lone Star Tick May Make Vegetarians of Some
http://news.yahoo.com/allergic-meat-lone-star-tick-may-vegetarians-133418695--ab c-news-health.html

i just posted this because of the word 'ectoparasite' which i've never seen before, but if you have meat alergies or live on the east coast (~ Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Virginia, and the southern half of Missouri) it is probably worth the read

Microsoft Screws Over Nokia

While pulling the most panic-stricken PR move ever, Microsoft has guaranteed the death of the Windows Phone OS and proven it should stick to what it knows: desktops.

Accenture voter software released
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, June 21 2012 @ 04:51 PM EDT
"This voter registration and voter history system has been widely criticized -- in Colorado, where it reportedly assigned voters who are Republicans as Democrats, and vice versa, and in Tennessee where it has been proven to lose voter histories" link
