Obama404

Yep. La busca della morte.

Left unsaid: why should "the best and brightest" get involved with this turd?

So ...."The best and brightest" will be commanded by the "least and dullest" .... who created the heap of crap in the first place.

Irony is great for entertainment.

Well, politicians figure that if the problem in Iraq was fixed with a surge of an extra 20,000 troops, the same should work here.

So if the estimate to fix it is 300,000 hours of coding, they are figuring they can do the same; put 20,000 people on it and have it fixed in two days.

Right on!
You have to hand it to them - 'President Barack Obama will “directly address the technical problems with HealthCare.gov” and announce steps he’s ordered to address them at a Monday event' - those Yanks are a hoot!

read an article that confirmed my suspicions on this debacle, you need to basically give all your info before you can have questions answered. So, me thinks it's as much an info harvesting tool as anything else. If you go in to enquire but decide not to sign up they still have your information. They should have set up a separate enquiry site were you could get most of your questions reasonable answered, and then you could fill out a form and transfer it to the main web site, if and when you chose to take their option. Such a set up would have relieved up front traffic and allowed ppl to sign up quicker and would have allowed techies to monitor and "fix" it better. As it stands the "load" only represents a small portion of the problems, this puppy is a real clusterf*ck and they may never get it rite and have to restart from scratch. Fun times are coming and obumbles owns this mess so that should be good for the GOP on the mid terms:-)))

The worst President in US history!

Everyone knows it, many just won't say it.

And of course when they find out what the prices are, how huge the deductibles are the real problems will be revealed.

0's never read The Mythical Man-Month, has he?

The problem with computers is that they can't ignore conflicting regulations the way humans do. Too bad somebody couldn't come up with a computer that runs on graft instead of logic eh?

But I think this non-functionality is a feature, not a bug. Now the Dems can blame the Republican stonewalling for the snafu, and re-tool the whole thing as a single payer system. Badabing badaboom, Barry's the big winner.

Next up, two year waiting lists for cancer treatment. Go team!

Yes it could be broken beyond repair.. My guess is.. A major hack (true or not) will be used as an excuse to shut down this embarrassment.. This way the MSM and their low information lovers can carp on about Obama protecting American personal information..

Then.. They will drop the right amount of cash, like buying Blizzard, Apple or Microsoft to have even a whiskers chance of taking their expertise and multiplying it by 10 000.. Then you have to double down on security..

The four letter F word comes to mind..

Im wondering why they didnt use the Canadian model?

Anyway a running health scandal with all those heartbreaking human interest stories that only FOX News will cover should make a interesting year or two.. eh

Yeah, Mark Steyn is not a big fan of this turkey. He called it "the Internet version of a Brezhnev-era Soviet supermarket."

Da bestest and brightest:

1."including U.S. technology chief Todd Y. Park, to bring the site up to speed." Da.

2.Da Eh?-Team: "The government also asked the site’s main contractor, a unit of Montreal-based CGI Group Inc., to add staff and assign its “A-Team” to the efforts, Young said." Doo.

3."HS will also get help from members of a White House program called “innovation fellows,”". Doo.

But, A&C comments, "whos first whats second dont knows third".

Someone needs to send Obama a copy of "The Mythical Man-Month".

The administration has called on the 'best and brightest' to help fix the website. Why would the 'best and brightest' leave their secure, well paid jobs in Silicon Valley and elsewhere to take on a short term contract fixing this clunker?

Someone brought up a good point this morning on the Telly. How can our dbag president go about fining people for not having health insurance if the site you're supposed to buy it from doesn't even work.

Pass. The. Pop. Corn.

McGuinty coulda sold em on eHealth. tee-hee.

otw, why not
amazon
google
microsoft
oracle

I agree with Phantom's comment.

Oracle is used, AC. Perhaps you missed the quote from the Oracle rep the other day when some flack tried to blame the database? "Our software is working properly." A not so subtle slap in the face.

Must be another Pelosi moment "We have to launch Healthcare.gov so that you can't find out how much more costly health insurance will be under Obama care"

In all fairness, a disturbingly large number of software "engineers" haven't read The Mythical Man-Month either.

Success depends on how the goal is defined. The "best and brightest" are surely those that can be counted on to kick back at least 15% of their open ended contracts to Obama's hope and change campaign.

They will rewrite the whole thing off the books.

Not that I was a fan of the defund obamacare tactic but legitimate question though, is the "surge" paid for and approved by congress?

What else are they not doing if they are spending money on this? You think someone would ask the question. Certainly it would be legitimate for Congress to ask where the money went last time and how much is required to fix it

Now I just wish the GOP hadnt tried to defund it before the F/U. BEcause now they could play the card legitimately.

Drudge is reporting that they will have to re-write 5 million LOC (lines of code) out of a total of 500 million LOC.

What the he!! are they doing?

Clearly, the requirements that were given to the developers were absolute rubbish if the end result is 500 million lOC.

Any software which has to interact, analyse,respond to the public at large and contains this amount of code will not, indeed CANNOT, ever work.

I know many people relate to the idea that you can't assign to malice that which can be readily assigned to ignorance/stupidity. However, after the 1st 50 times it should become clear that ignorance at this level is malice, first and foremost.

Obamacare was not designed to work, not from a legislative POV, implementation POV, financial, etc....

It is designed to fail, to make room for the future....

Why has no one put together that Obama just shut down the government to avoid a 1 year delay that could have been used to fix the IT disaster? I see a 1 year delay coming regardless.

The way to get the "best and brightest" on this is to task the 2nd Life or Grand Theft Auto dev teams to add health insurance to their virtual environments. They'll have it up and running in time for the next scheduled patch. Then Ofracka just has to send everybody a free copy of GTA along with their Ofracka-phone.
