I've read your posting and it looks like you know everything. Ok, let's go
into some detail:

>Actually most the cost is for the computer system that doesn't work. The
government is not fair and open when >assigning computer contracts or jobs.

Give us more details. How do you know what the money was spent on? Give us
your sources. Educate us. Give us the name of the company.

>They spend as much of computer systems as the private sector, but they only
award contracts to a very few >companies.

Could you give us names of those companies or you don't know what you're
talking about? Could it be that those companies are owned by friends of
Liberals?

>Often they are sold infrastucture that they don't need, or is not scaled to
the project, then it all has to be >scrapped and built again.

Suppose you bring your car in for repairs. They worked several days, didn't
repair and want you to pay. Would you pay? I bet no.

You get an estimation for repair. Suppose it was 100 bucks, repairs are
finished and they charge you $1000. Would you pay? I bet no. Because the
estimation is the document saying that this is the maximum they can charge.

Now, if the government deliberately signed the contract which allows
overcharges and in the case of firearm registry, the overcharge was 1000
times more. This is called stealing. If you don't get it, this is too bloody
bad.

>But the waste there is in the process of awarding contracts to companies
that are less than incompetant, they >know once the government is locked
in,they can jjust keep jacking up the costs.

For your information, firearm registry is not a big system, it is not even a
medium system, it is a lousy database with less than 10 million entries. In
contemporary scale, it is nothing. ONE personal computer is enough to keep
it. One can use any standard software to manage the firearm registry
(probably even access from Windows) with little or no additional
programming. You obviously have no computer education.

> So $700/hr is not excessive for a seasoned judge, who should earn more
than a seasoned lawyer per hour.

You made 2 mistakes here: Roy is not a judge, he is a lawyer so why should
he be paid double of maximum rate. Your second mistake: a judge's salary is
much less than lawyers. Judge gets around $200,000 a year. Presuming he
works 200 days, he gets $1000 per day, which translates into $125 an hour,
about 1/3 of that of a lawyer. Why don't you educate us on how much Gomery
makes? You know it all, don't you?

> Hey you hired a lawyer ...

What the hell does that have to do with subject of the posting? You look so
lame spewing your hatred toward Fabrikant. Wake up you idiot, get a life
man! Some of your postings are made at 1:00am and at 4am. It looks like you
are addicted. You need help, man.
