bwahahaha. If you were a serious miner, you'd have an ASIC rig.

GPU miners don't cover the cost of their electrical bills.

perhaps, but this is typical of AMD and ATI products ranging all the way back to my experiences with Athlons and the ATI Rage 128 graphics card.

Their hardware just isn't as stable as Intel or Nvidia. And that's my experience with 4 different AMD systems over the years. When you put an intel computer on the same power supply, stability just happens.

Honestly, who gives a shit. They were designed to be lost.

That's a valid analogy for babies.

One person could have designed, programmed, and coded the whole site, including back end in about six months, If that person were skilled.

Instead, HHS and CMS paid multi-million dollar contracts to 3 foreign corporations, who had a year and still couldn't do it.

The site was doomed by salespeople and politicians.

QSSI, who got the contract for the EIDM in 2012, evidently got it working for medicare and medicaid, but this site wasn't even coded or tested right.
CGI Federal executive went to school with Michelle Obama.
Serco, well we all know what happened to serco.

Known issues in week one:
Security questions for creating account not populated in drop-downs.
Security question input failing validation.
Email verification tokens instantly expiring.
EIDM "accidentally" resetting all passwords.
Password recovery emails not finding accounts.
Links to back end oracle database not adequate to handle requests.
AJAX grid abuse causing far more server queries than necessary.
Oracle database not load balanced causing instability.
Application forms not populating.
Application answers not validating.
Application programming errors.
Application coding errors.
Inability to edit application.
Inability to edit family members.
Inability to go backwards in application.
Faulty eligibility information regarding medicaid.

It's amazing how I can see someone that I connected with on Facebook in real life and have a vague notion of what they are up to. It makes me feel connected.

For the last time, she dumped you in high school. You're no longer "connected".

I've had those problems with ubuntu 12.10

And getting the nvidia driver installed and working takes a small miracle.

Maybe Raging Ringtail might be better.

Not really.

They're built by lowest bidders Serco and QSS Inc. Neither an American company.

If they had decided to hire Americans to do this job, they would have had a very large pool of qualified and skilled workers from which to choose.

They already have. I don't remember reading anything about SteamOS being completely opensource.

They removed basic customizable anaglyph support from both after I detailed how you could hack 3D support into Left 4 Dead and other games.

And I'm still an Nvidia fanboy.

I just successfully logged in. to a blank page.

definitely not a DDOS. LOIC is going to cause the kinds of errors I've seen.

How about this one, hire an Indian firm to run a government level oracle database without actually testing it or including load-balancing and you're gonna have a bad time.

Blame your horrendous failure on user volume and then call it glitches and you're gonna have a bad time.

List of known issues in order of appearance:

01. security questions not loading.
02. security answers failing validation.
03. email validation tokens timing out instantly.
04. correct passwords failing
05. password reset emails not providing clickable link for reset
06. password reset link loads page which doesn't find the profile it just emailed to.
07. EIDM server crashing and throwing system down errors.
08. oracle server errors.
09. network gateway timeout errors.
10. oracle account manager loading towards public

All of this excluding the actual waiting pages for a website.
This is either gross incompetence or sabotage.

no, it's a big high five to the clearly superior hardware vendors.

Mr. Fusion is still a few years off.

agreed.

Start with the PB&J robot.

Pretend to be a robot and have your kid give you instructions on how to make a PB&J sandwich.
When they skip a step in the algorithm, you simply respond, "HOW?"

This is probably the easiest lesson in programming and a great place to start because it forces you to think in pseudocode.

Perfect for a five year old.
