The National Security Agency's $2 billion mega spy center is going up in flames.
Technical glitches have sparked fiery explosions within the NSA's newest and largest data storage facility in Utah, destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, and delaying the facility's opening by one year.
And no one seems to know how to fix it.

It would be somewhat amusing to discover a Stuxnet-type worm had infiltrated the NSA Spy Center.Ah, but they don't need a Stuxnet to fail! They're from the Government!
Yeah, I've done some federal gov't contracts. After the first one I said "never again". Then after 9-11 I broke down and joined up with a DLA project which I think was a successor to "Business Systems Modernization". Great demos, total inadequacy in operation (what is beyond clusterf*k?). The feds fired the contractor and yet the same people were hired by the next contractor to continue on, so it must of been a management problem, heheh. Except that some of the folks working on project had active retirement plans and existing seniority with the new contractor. Nothing had changed but the signs on the building...

Sabotage or another "green" money sink?
If their software resembles 0mamacare too, maybe we don't have anything to worry about regarding surveillance.
But I still don't trust them to safeguard our private data, it would not surprise me if the Chinese and Russians already have copies of everything.

..whats spewing out of fukishima is NOTHIN compared to whats being spewed out of D.C. The people who got rid of Saddam Hussein because he and his sons routinely tortured Iraqi's, now have an Emperor that just sent out a decree to cause our people maximum pain.

Let that be a lesson to all.
NEVER hire a company with a name like “Klingstubbins.”
