Comment Not to shocked (Score 1) 345

The DoD is well known for changing the specs of a project constantly through out the life time of a program so I'm not surprised the update in the 90s failed it probably had 5,000+ changes from it's initial concept and then you add in the required corruption and incompetence needed to be a government employee or contractor and it makes perfect sense it failed.

Comment Re:Royalty? Just say no. (Score 2) 214

You do realize the UK Government makes more money off the Queen then they pay to support her right? The Queen and her family still own all of the royal lands they are leased to the Government in exchange for them supporting the royal family. The lands make 130+ million pounds a year for the government and the royal family only costs around 40 million to support and it all reverts back to the royal family if the government stops supporting them as stupid people seem to want them to do which mean taxes would have to be raised to cover the shortfall.
