government waste

Post by Tempus »

well i always knew that there was a lot of government overspending but tonight kinda sinched it for me

i am typing from Krissi's work (my gf). She works for the city of windsor at a community centre. This computer does basic word processing, internet surfing and some accounting stuff. guess what it has?
Dual Xeon 2.8 ghz with 512 ddr.... ok so the ram isnt that impressive. But the dualy is huge over kill considdering most of the people (my gf excluded) cant even do basic designs in word.

Talk about a waste of money. That and the fact that I think its so fragmented that the thing grinds like mad. My guess is that it is bottle-necking at the hard drive.

The workers here complain that this computer is way to slow for them which leads me to believe that there is something seriously wrong with this terminal.

anyways i was bored and just thought i would share
Gentlemen, we got 20 calls about the David Hyde-Pierce incident. And as you know, one call equals a billion people, which means 20 billion people were offended by this

Not a waste of money, but an environmental nightmare:

This is the google earth image of Alang, India. It's where many governments of the world send their old ships to be recycled.

Black water is a good thing, right? :lol:
