What compels comments like this? The first AC posts absolutely nothing of value, just wants to let everyone know that they disagree with a minor point that's completely irrelevant to the OP's question. Thanks for the insight, champ. The followup, probably the same person, goes on to ramble like an old fart telling a useless anecdote about his kid that's barely even related to the topic at hand. At what point did either of these seem like a good idea? Neither of these comments address the question being asked or even attempt to be useful at all. No one cares what you consider a large program and absolutely no one gives a shit about you or your fucking crotch fruit. These comments are just some sad cunt's way of claiming, "I'm more experienced and better than you." Fuck right off.

This is only from recent events, but the same type of headlines are repeated all the time. Why the hell would any child want to be good at something that puts them into a category that is openly disdained in our culture?

Submission + - Obama Orders Federal Agencies To Roll Out Electron (computerworld.com)

Lucas123 writes: President Obama this week issued a directive to all federal agencies to upgrade records management processes from paper-based systems that have been around since President Truman's administration to electronic records systems with Web 2.0 capabilities. Agencies have four months to come up with plans to improve their records keeping. Part of the directive is to have the National Archives and Records Administration store all long-term records and oversee electronic records management efforts in other agencies. Unfortunately, NARA doesn't have a stellar record itself in rolling out electronic records projects. Earlier this year, due to cost overruns and project mismanagement, NARA announced it was ending a 10-year effort to create an electronic records archive.
