It's not a buzzword, it has a specific definition.
Excellent non sequitur. Buzzword means a trendy term or popular jargon. It in no way explicitly or implicitly means a lack of a definition.

The only people who find it "nifty" are marketing drones and the huge number of people who can't wait to compromise these devices that are guaranteed to have shit security.
Your post was equivalent to not knowing what is being disucussed and posting "frist psot!" and so it was treated as such. On the other hand, I had actually read the complaint and knew what I was talking about.
RTFA.
Mr. Leopold seeks access to the public financial disclosure statements (Form 278) of former National Security Agency (NSA) Director Keith Alexander as part of a news report he is writing for distribution to the general public. Mr. Leopold sought access to these records pursuant to the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 (“EGA”), 5 USC app. 101, et seq., by submitting a completed Form OGE 201 to the NSA.
Make sure to read the bolded part a few times. Now what pray tell is Form 278? From the Office of Government Ethics:
OGE Form 278: Public Financial Disclosure Report
Pretty sure a public financial disclosure report is public information. Maybe next time you might want to read about what is being discussed before putting your foot in your mouth.
He's suing to get them to release what should be public information. That in no way requires him to be "damaged" in some way.
These are apps people have to choose to install and run. How do they have zero control when they chose to install them?
Because you think they wouldn't game this? Corporations never collude or anything, right?
How is it a non-sequitur to point out previous expenses failures that they've been the head contractor for? Also, this is far from being their only IT-related disaster either. So again I ask: You've never worked with or for Lockheed have you? They can't properly finish projects in the same scope with costs many times this one.
As opposed to the same thing that happens developing commercial software? Changing requirements, scope creep, etc. is just par for the course in ALL software development.
Never worked for or with Lockheed, eh? Or maybe never heard of the F35?
How dare you bring facts into this. People on SSI are mooches living the highlife off of the backs of the hardworking. Rush Limbaugh said so so that's that.
That presumes it was ever there to begin with.
Yeah but first you need $200 million to lobby for the contracts.
Lockheed. Mentioned in the article.
Yeah and the welfare system was plagued by welfare queens. Oh wait that was just over dramatized fiction from Reagan. No different than your story. There are always people trying to cheat stuff but statistically it's not as large a group of people as right-wingers want us to believe.
