In a sense, this is "look how incompetent the government is at implementing tech" story, but in another this could be interpreted as an attempt to trivialize what happened with healthcare.gov. "Oh gosh, nothing ever goes right for the government so what happened with healthcare.gov is par for the course (shrug)."
Except the healthcare.gov disaster was LEGISLATIVE, the constant, ongoing, still-unresolved tech catastrophe was only the impact-crater.
The fact that NASA's computer-replacement program was a boondoggle was meaningless, compared to the tech-failure of a program whose use was MANDATED by law.
It seems cops in NY could certainly use some serious reining-in. In this incident, an officer allegedly kicked and broke the leg of a 10-YO boy who used his mother's phone to video record them, and then also sexually assaulted the mother.

Cretins like that would use Google Glass as a tool of oppression to aid with blackmail, extortion, and control of the population under their purview.

That is what I meant by the "real world". The world is simply not going to spend a trillion dollars to put hydro dams all over the world in places they shouldn't be, just to use pumped water storage.
The world is not going to install that much solar power. It isn't technical, it is political, the forces that are at work have little to do with technology.
Lets just trust that the Feds would never abuse our help. That this isn't an effort on their part to examine malware in order to build better malware, or an effort to see what malware that we are able to detect to better help them build malware that we can't detect. After all, have they ever abused our trust in the past?
I already sent them mine. Heck, it's already on a good 2/3rds of their computers. How much more do they want, anyways?
And Agent Robinson, get your feet off of your desk and get to work, slacker!
