[Sigia-l] Mother of all examples

[Listera]

Next time somebody mentions requirements, budgets, schedules, app design,
etc., read, weep and work a few extra hours in 2005 to make up the
difference with your tax contributions:

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation is on the verge of scrapping a $170
million computer overhaul that is considered critical to the campaign
against terrorism but has been riddled with technical and planning problems,
F.B.I. officials said on Thursday."

"I did not get what I envisioned" from the project, the senior official
acknowledged. But he said the F.B.I. today had a better understanding of its
computer needs and limitations as a result of the effort." The lesson we
have learned from this $170 million is invaluable," he said.
